		<description><![CDATA[What &quot;hard decisions&quot; do we need to make? Every case since July has come through the airport (with occasional on-island transmission, as a result of coming in through the airport). The virus isn&#039;t exactly running rampant around the island, is it? And so what it if is? How many people are in hospital? ZERO! So what&#039;s your problem? Are you proposing to shut the island down again? For 23 people? That means all non-essential retail closes, bars close, restaurants close, schools close, hotels have no guests...how many people will that impact? I guarantee it&#039;s a lot more than 23. And can the Government afford to offer furlough to all these workers again? NO! Government doesn&#039;t have any money! 

If you&#039;re so worried, I suggest you stay at home and wrap yourself up in cotton wool until a health department worker turns up at your front door with the &quot;miracle&quot; vaccine. In the meantime, I hope you don&#039;t perish of boredom or starvation.]]></description>

2. 1 resident who arrived on DL 584 on 10 November 2020 who tested positive on their arrival test, having not had a pre-test ... what is happening to the others on that flight?]]></description>
