Good points. I thought the "humane" part was not logical either. <br/>
If your expenses are greater than your income, it doesn't matter how much inventory you have, you're really not rich at all. <br/><br/>
Some of of these businesses are literally making zero dollars right now.

Another interesting question I have is about Caribbean countries in general. Most countries in the Caribbean are considered "developing" nations. We don't have the resources that the "developed" countries such USA and UK have. <br/><br/> But the mortality rate in the Caribbean is much lower than I expected for sure. (The reported cases I understand, because testing is lousy) but I find it interesting that mortality all over the Caribbean is very low. When it is the developed nations that have the best hospitals, health care, etc. Yet, the **developed world** won't study this, I guess for the mere fact that we are "developing nations"??? But I find that it's worth a closer look.<br/><br/>
(The worldometers website sheds light on this with the numbers.) https://www.worldometers.info/coronavir…

**As of Apr/19**<br/>
Jamaica 173 cases, 5 deaths<br/>
Trinidad 114 cases, 8 deaths<br/>
Bermuda 86 cases, 5 deaths<br/>
Barbados 75 cases, 5 deaths<br/>
Cayman Is. 61 cases, 1 death<br/>
Antigua 23 cases, 3 deaths... and so on.

Thisisours... of course their analysis is off!! They are just copying what they see other countries doing. <br/>
Notice America is saying to use cloth masks, all of a sudden cloth masks are better than slice bread. America says it will gradually open, now our government is saying the same.<br/><br/>
The problem with this copy-cat mentality is that the resources, finances, economic stimulus that other countries have, we don't!!!<br/>
So we can follow them and back ourselves right into a corner. Then when those countries recover, we will be 10 years behind the 8-ball as usual. SMH

Lol. Couldn't have said it better myself ohdrap. I wonder who in government owns a plant nursery? ROFL

This is very sad. I only pray this will not become a trend.

I'm glad **auto parts stores** are allowed to open with social distancing (even essential workers can have car problems). But I think there should be more than 1 day allowed. (2 at a minimum - eg. Tues & Thurs.) <br/><br/>

If there's only 1 day... **Tuesday will be crazy**!!!!! There have been many people waiting to get vehicles fixed (especially with no public transportation). Why can't government see, when they put too many limitations, it makes matters worse??? (I guess at least the mandatory masks will help...less cloth, more real ones).<br/><br/>

Give these businesses a bit more time for customers to shop, then everyone won't crowd them all at once! **It's not rocket science**!! SMH

<br/>Plant nurseries get 2 days, but auto parts get 1?? ROFL

This is truly a heart breaking story. People will not be able to go on for much longer. That is something Minnis can't seem to understand from his ivory tower! There will come a breaking point for many people. God help us all!

Not only that, this seems to be poorly coordinated. If it was a controlled landing... why wasn't there persons on the ground to receive it? Allowing the public to interact with such materials doesn't seem to be a good idea. SMH

Honestly, I think all of the doctors concerns are valid. <br/><br/>
No one can be **forced** to give up their lives to save another. So I can't blame these doctors. HIV is a totally different kettle of fish. It's a sexually transmitted disease so the risk to the doctors would be minimal. <br/>This represents a real risk to them and/or elderly family members. So anyone has the right to chose the way in which they serve. There is a **real risk of death** here and how many of us are willing to give up our lives or our parents lives to save another?<br/>
If they have valid concerns about PPE, I don't blame them. It is their right to choose.

With all the bullying this government been doing to the entire nation, I believe it! <br/>
This government seems to have the mentality of **everyone must fall in line** to whatever we say. At the end of the day, voices of opposition serve an important role to keep **everyone accountable** and also to keep new ideas / innovations flowing.
