tried and proven measures that can be employed to achieve mitigation.
If only the entire world could just stand still for 28 days, this nightmare would all be over but we know that is impossible! We have seen the results of many countries ahead of us who have gone to extreme.

measures to mitigate and it is working. Many of our Caribbean neigbours who are behind us in this outbreak have taken this big step and their citizens will be thanking them in weeks to come.

However, you have entrusted too much to our citizens who for many reasons some of which are through no fault of theirs, have not responded with the level of discipline and understanding which is crucial to achieve the desired outcome. So they have failed us. ....

this time at a cost of $180 million? To pull this from your armoury of solutions at this juncture surely in the absence of certain data is troubling. In my humble opinion this suggests that you have given up on your citizens changing their behaviour.

Why not together with the Private Sector use this $180 million NOW like today and with the help of every Member of Parliament, Councillor and Caretaker and Clergy, provide food for those who you know will need the support for fourteen days. They know their constituency and they..

Lastly I love the effort of getting more ventilators for the nation and opening a field hospital in the event that we are beyond our healthcare capacity. But one thing you all haven’t addressed and this is the most common question being asked among.
