... we haven't tackled corruption, crime, education, illegal immigration, single parent homes, the lack of independence of the judiciary, diversification of the economy etc either. Covid is NOT our most pressing national issue!!
... the drug is not the problem since people have been on it for decades with no issues. HIGH doses of the drug is a problem and lots of hospitals have been using high doses. High doses = increased risk of side effects!
These individuals who have been verifiable failures in public life should not be heading up government entities. We can and must do much better than this!
I know doctors and nurses in the medical community who have shared that they feel that the government had thrown them under the bus during this COVID-19 pandemic. They cite the lack of PPE's, the struggles of getting tested and not being advised of contact tracing when they have been exposed to covid positive patients. One doctor told me of a group of nurses being turned away from the South Beach Clinic when they requested testing after being exposed to known covid-19 positive patients and were told to go back to work! Heads should roll but life goes on!
... altruism is a philosophical concept primarily for the insanely wealthy or the deluded. The Clement Maynard "all for me baby" model, rules supreme! It crosses political lines too!
You simply need to consider that the 157 were asymptomatic (which you alluded to) and therefore not cognizant that they were a source of spread and the theory vaporizes!
Throughout this entire debacle the PM has taken no responsibility for his poor decision making, including allowing inter island flights from infected islands to non-infected islands!!! That says a whole lot!
