Wow! This shows how grossly disconnected the PM was. This also illustrates that there was zero consultation. How do you have a lockdown and the support mechanism for isms are not in the loop. You can be sure this isn't the only organization left out of the loop.

The PM is making a lot of mistakes on very basic things.

The Central Bank speaks, wow! With everything going on, this is the major item to speak about. Really? This is a sidebar conversation with the banks and a move on. A side article at best.

We need the Central Bank to speak to the economic situation we're in. We need them tackle the big ticket items that they're there to address. This subject here is like the police arresting a kid for stealing potato chips while helping a serial killer escape.

Wow! So, we get a number that is staffed by the same people who don't check in normal times. The government has failed like the one before them and one before that one and so on.

Can we find some good, intelligent people who understand how to govern this country? Why are we constantly pulling leaders from the cesspool of incompetence?

He needs to speak the truth. The country is in bad shape and they don't have a plan. They don't surround themselves with the brightest minds in our country. They surround themselves with the incompetent, or the "yes men and women". So, we will never get solutions to problems.

Question: Why is the former marketing guy from BTC the Financial Secretary? One example of why we're going down the toilet.

To announce a lockdown at 8pm with immediate effect when the foodstores closed at 7pm is without conscience. There would be a multitude of our brothers and sisters who were caught unprepared. There is a real risk that people will starve. People may not have water. Some persons who are medicated may not have medication on hand. As a doctor, he knows better than anyone that some medication means life or death for some people. This is a grave situation. His leadership, or lack there of, is not what we need in these times of crisis. A man from humble beginnings forgot that the humble among us may very well die, not from Covid-19, but from poor leadership.

He has instructed the police to enforce this lockdown. They are essentially enforcing the violation of the very basic rights of our people. I don't fault the police, as they have to follow orders, but I hope they approach their task from a position of compassion. We are all brothers a d sisters in this struggle. Our leaders are lost in the delusions of their power. We must rise up, let.our voices be heard and take back our rights.

The PM should not announce lockdown effective immediately knowing full well.that some people did not have a chance to prepare. You have to factor in some people don't have medication, food and water. Some households have small kids, infants even. The solution to a problem isn't to create other problems. We can agree or disagree on lockdowns. But, we can all agree that you should give people a day or two to prepare themselves. This was not thought through and shows his incompetence to govern.

Let's hope D'Aguilar doesn't have input here. After that CNN interview, I wouldn't have him order supplies for the Ministry of Tourism. That interview showed that he is grossly deficient intellectually. If he had an input here, we probably gave away the entire GB and promised to pay Royal Caribbean and ITM for taking it.

It's going to be a long journey to say the least. If they.dont have timely results and are not properly contact tracing, then logically everyone needs to sit down and figure out how to fix this situation. If they need more people and better tools, then provide it. I going to guess they're not getting what they need. Keep in mind, doctors were on strike because of pay. Nurses, some years back, were on strike because they didn't have health coverage. It's not easy being in the public healthcare system in this country. There are issues with the personnel as well, you can be sure of that too. But, they're treated terribly.

We shouldn't call her crazy. Let's be fair. Have you seen what doctors have to work with in this country? She may be doing the best she could. But, when you have a PM living in another world making decisions and you have next to zero resources, it's tough.

The reopening was.clearly a disaster. Commonsense suggests that with reopening you will have a spike, so whatever things you had in place you have to increase those resources and new controls added. To shut the hotline down, the quarantine site, etc and then reopen someone has to ask, "what the hell was he thinking?" We're in trouble. Simple things they're not getting.Aso, we're at 1,252 cases but as I understand we're late in getting results. So, we're probably at the 2,000 mark and don't know yet. The government needs to get serious in how to manage. This is a tough situation, but you have information all around the globe you can tap into. Have conversations with the right people within the country and come to a sensible solution. Clearly whomever is providing advice to him.on Covid-19 he needs to fire that person or persons.
