This hotline would work much better if you could get somebody to answer the phone…

Not a bottle of sanitizer anywhere to be seen, paper and personal items all over the desks, no self-distancing.

Surely we can do better than this, Bermuda?

I’d much rather have seen these 7 people MAKING phone calls 3 weeks ago than fielding 100 calls in the last 2 days.

FEBRUARY 29th
WHO Covid-19 Travel Advice
“… entry screening on arrival and close follow up for 14 days after arrival.”

We should have been MAKING hundreds of daily follow-up calls for weeks.

MARCH 13th
On or about the day when the samples for first positive cases would have been sent out.

WILSON PRESSES ON WITH HEALTH SYSTEM TALKS

“In sum, this was a tough call to make. There was no ideal decision but, in weighing the pros and cons across the health system, we felt this was appropriate at this time.”

No doubt the Health System appreciated this at the time. Surely not many in the system are among the 12000+ objecting signatures?

The entire article reads like one long apology. I believe Ms. Wilson to be a good person and her conflict is palpable. Which begs the question, who is “we” that felt this was appropriate at the time?

All oars should have been pulling in the same direction. The minister‘s time would have been better spent making rounds of the Health System and showing govt’s support. Pressing ahead with plans to upend our FUNCTIONAL Health System at a time like this was a ringing slap in the face.

This is bull, Wilson ought to be ashamed. Also for crying out loud. A minimum of 6 feet, between people. We need the tone from the top to be right. Do as a say and not as I do has always been a mantra of the PLP, time to change that,

Have the politicians been tested Yes or no?
