Testing is one of the few tools we have to try to combat this terrible virus.

We must do so aggressively as soon as we are able.

Blessing back at you.

Everyone in Bermuda should be supporting the current Government and its gigantic efforts, but we should not be shy to continue to ask them for very aggressive proactive testing (everyone in Bermuda, Parish by Parish) should be tested to flush out who is currently positive and who is currently negative. Then quarantine.

In addition to that, I believe the local insurance Companies should be assisting the Government in these efforts, not just donating to charities at this point. We need local insurance companies to source more tests and have them delivered and participate in testing all of their insured. These companies have been deathly silent these past few weeks. They have a huge interest at stake and it shouldn’t all fall on the Government’s shoulders.

We can break free of this virus but not the way we are reactively testing right now. We should be proactively testing and the local insurance companies need to get involved NOW!

I think the government is doing an EXCELLENT job and as stated in the latest press conference the testing will become more aggressive as they are setting up another lab and they are looking to receive more test soon.There is a shortage of testing supplies WORLDWIDE. You could have spent this time on maybe finding a new hobby other than trying to bicker, this is the time where we all need to become one.

Blessings and Stay at home.
