So does seniors day start tomorrow or does it start next week as all of this goes into effect monday…

im confused as all %### and dont want a 10k fine if i go out tomorrow and I doubt 100% of the regiment and police know whats going on either.

“”"” Mummy will the bombs fall tonight . No ! go back to sleep”"”" . Mummy ,will the bombs fall tomorrow night.

Many of you do not know what hard ship is, because you have had it too good for too long.

You don’t know what rationing is, no sugar ,no butter , no shoes. no nothing!

I am 84 year end my wife is 82 we have been on self quarantine/ lock down 7 days before all this stared and you are just on your first day . WOW !

We will stay in our home for as long as it takes and so must you.

This is a tug of war, we all have to pull together, is that too much to ask.

I fall into the A to L category Wednesday is my day.

Come on guys get it together, if not every body looses.

With love.

And like everyone has said, what about the single parents out there who cannot bring their children with them?

And the shift workers who might not have their shopping days off?

And what if I need a prescription, or just Tylenol but it’s Saturday, so now I have to suffer for two days before I can buy anything!!

These restrictions based off of panicking politicians is just going to insight chaos and rebellion across the island!!!

Their situation was far more progressed than ours.

Just because other countries are doing things doesn’t mean they are appropriate for us to do. It is .0033333% of the population that currently is inflicted with this.

Panic is a crazy thing, and since no one ever actually reads anything beyond headlines these days all they see is what other countries are doing and think we should be doing the same. They don’t see the huge discrepancies between our situation and those situations and thus don’t understand why these measures are not necessary for us in this current state.

Not only are they not necessary, it would not be a surprise if they end up doing more long-term harm than they are ‘preventing’ in the short term (newsflash, they’re not preventing much if anything.)

There is some tentative actual info on hand out there –

Infection Mortality Rate: .66% (Flu is typically .1%)

Herd Immunity: 60-70% necessary given the transmission capabilities (Assume higher for us, given the size of the island. We are currently 0.0055% by the way, and at this rate will be at 1.5-2% by the time a vaccine comes out. Can’t safely open the borders until a vaccine comes out at this rate.)

The entire lockdown was a panic decision because we had 1 batch of tests which came back with some positives.

This ridiculous last name system is just a further poor decision that punishes those who actually believed our Premier’s words when he said that Grocery stores would be open and you’d be able to go to them.

Turns out, some people who were avoiding the lines and being responsible now can’t even get groceries until Monday. Wonderful decision, punish those who listen.

Next time the Premier says you shouldn’t do xxx, just remember this situation and go do xxx. Turns out that is actually going to be the better choice based on what we have seen thus far.

I’m sure they can manage that. They’re allowed complete freedom of the island after all, so it would hardly be an unreasonable request compared to what almost everyone else is having to give up.

They never will of course. Everyone ELSE should compromise but not them.

They aren’t going to be monitoring your individual house all day. This isn’t China where you have a social score and they’re monitoring your activities to make sure you comply.

They don’t have the manpower to keep tabs on every 24hrs a day.

Turns out you should always do exactly what they are telling you not to do, because everyone else is going to and then they’ll just punish you for not doing so as a result.

Great.

Not even half a percent of the population has this but we are being locked in our houses for 2 weeks and told when we can pick up Groceries, Prescriptions and Gas.

The amount of freedoms people are willing to give up based on panic is outrageous – this is NOT protecting anyone at this point, we do not have community spread where we cannot trace it and all we are doing is making it worse at this point.

We are going to come out of this with a tiny proportion of the population immune, no vaccination in sight and still unable to open our borders. Flights May 1st? Good joke, how will we be allowed flights when we aren’t even at 1% of the population immune! 1 Flight with 3 sick people will put us in a far worse situation than we even are.

These measures are significant overkill and are not reflective of the measures implemented elsewhere. These measures are being undertaken by countries in far more progressed and dangerous circumstances that have FAR less ability to control and monitor the situation than we do, given the respective logistics.

It’s unfortunate that we even have our politicians panicking rather than using rational thought in a time like this.

Sometimes you can do more harm than good, regardless of the fact that you may have only the best intentions at hand.

It is probably hundreds, thousands even.

Reality. Stay home.

1 give them a list to get you what you need
2 lots of seniors drive
3 nobody goes to church anymore
4 You can go again 2 days later

The Premier has done well so far, but this is a mistake, especially after his comments on grocery store access just yesterday.
