So, we gave the Communications Officer from the Ministry of Health, strike one and the son of the AG (strike two). This is ridiculous. Then the PM has the nerve to go on tv and blast the rest of the country about non-compliance. Mr. PM get your house in order.
If you follow the US media, you would know that for a lot of voters Covid-19 wasn't the top issue. Voters chose Biden for a lot of reasons.
With regards to our Ministry of Health, nothing makes sense. We have a Minister not qualified for the role. We have health official giving us data that's not up to date, who are way behind in testing and are doing a poor job in contact tracing. Then we listen to a PM who should be a circus clown telling that we need to adhere to the protocols while he totally missed the WHO's recommendation of increased testing and increased contact tracing. If you don't identify who is infected and have them quarantined, how do you expect to control the problem. The PM stated yesterday we've cut the daily infections in half. What he left out is that, as stated above, we've reduced the number of testing. Also, two, he says this 50% reduction with pride but conveniently left out the positivity rate. Either he intentionally did that or he has no clue what the concept of having the virus under control means.
Web shops take advantage of people by selling the illusion they can get incredible returns on their money. So, maybe they need to make web shops illegal again.
On asues, there are issues with this as well as you're essentially dependent on the honesty of the person organizing it and those participating. You do run a risk of losing all that you've put into an asue unless the government is going to require depositors insurance. We know that's not going to happen.
It's dangerous that the DPM considers addressing what is perceived by him and some others as an issue without speaking to experts. A very reckless approach. Before he spoke, he should have facts in front of him. Another Minnis cabinet issue. Is anyone in this administration connected with reality or commonsense.
So, they are closely monitoring an area that some guys were comfortable enough to go into and shoot 5 people. This senior officer should be quiet on this point. So, if you're not closely monitoring an area, it can turn into Afghanistan then.
Good to hear Mr. George's is doing well. It's sad that Haitians face so much discrimination. We have to mature to the point where we don't see colour, religion or national origin, etc. Hope he continues to progress in his current role.
In the next topic, marijanua, the writer states that she's nit.of the generation smoking marijuana. Lol. Marijuana didn't just arrive here. People have been smoking for years. In the 80s (I can't speak of before, too young for that), cocaine was more prevalent. It is a very destructive drug. Marijuana would have negatives to it, but it is clearly a drug with a lot of positive properties. On the US response to banks, it's hypocrisy. Although marijuana was.legailzed in a lot of US states, they've not going to extend an open mind to others for whatever reason. It's like the tax topic. You tell every country they need to ensure they don't have US persons with bank accounts in their jurisdiction who are not tax compliant in the US. But, you allow accounts to be opened in Delaware and Nevada that may not be tax compliant. Also, if.you're from another country and want to evade taxes, you can open US accounts without fear if having your account information disclosed to your government. It's just hypocrisy at its highest.
The PM was a disgrace in the Q&A part of the press conference. He was rude, arrogant and very disrespectful. At one point he made an analogy, where he started to sound like some crass guy on the street in the inner city. A total disgrace as a leader.
That explanation he gave of why you can have a church service with x number of people but not a funeral with the same number was complete BS. It's simple the church applied pressure to have their services and he gave in. It's as simple as that. If he's concerned that in grief people could lose themselves and break protocol then at weddings people are happy. Allow for full participation at church weddings. People can space themselves out and be happy, right?
It's a skillful stick up the nose. Lol. Let's be nice with our medical personnel. These days it's hard to differentiate real issues or someone working an angle. We have politicians failing and trying to spin. We have medical experts failing and trying to spin. It's too many games on this pandemic.
What we do know is that economies are severely impacted by shutdowns. Medical experts are still grappling with this virus. We're in the middlr.of the madness. We probably won't see daylight until mid 2021.
