I have been here a long time – honestly, its not red carpet and its not threats, but its not the nice end of the spectrum – and has not been for a long long time.

Bermuda is 22square miles, and you choose to come here and say you feel like we hate you? really. ? Are you occupying a job that could be filled by a Bermudian? Has anyone threatened you? you seem to be an opportunist, travelling here and there looking for your utopia while at the same disrupitng others, especially in small places, and foreigners are treated better than locals here. Everywhere we go there are foreigners thriving here. What kind of red carpet do you expect?

Please keep in mind that it is quite normal around this time of year that people come down with colds and flu, that didnt change., so dont be surprised that children have sniffles or that adults in homes will get flu regardless of flu vaccination.

What about the ones who reach their hand into the grape bag grab some grapes and put the ones thy touched into another bag, I personally have seen that a few times and pointed it out to the staff who looked at me like I was the problem.

And yet people here who had the same stinking attitude as you before the pandemic claimed afterwards that our government was so very caring and kind in taking care of EVERYONE including the expats. Go figure ,eh ?

I am still mad that you plp/ubpers took a thriving economy with no debt and in few short years plunged us deep into debt and ruined our economy. That is what pisses me off. I bet you will not answer if I ask you what the UBP did that was racist. Under them black and white Bermudians were doing very well for themselves. The only people that are happy with the way things are right now is the Caymanians. Stay angry my friend that is just how the plp elite like you. Also look up surrogate.

I’m a native Caymanian and truth be told the majority of us don’t want you here either. Bermuda is probably the only place that would put up with you chopping up jobs from the locals. It says more about you as a person as you rat hop from place to place… afraid to remain in ya country. When Covid hit us we had no problem telling you get out and go home. I understand Bermuda gave out unemployment checks to it’s expats that were unemployed during the lock down. No other country in the World did that.

I think it’s going to be a s*+%show when the teens and 20 somethings return for the holidays. It’s an age that they think rules are meant to go around. If no one’s home to supervise them, they’ll go out. And so many parents just let ttheir older kids do what they want anyway.

I’m expat and I have no problem asking people to put their mask on to wear it properly, in a polite manner. I may be thinking something else of course, put being polite and smiling gets the message across just fine.

Not just reaching for the chicken. Standing in front of the vegetables at Supermart and a man and woman tag teamed me reaching over my shoulder. They were together. It wasn’t because they were rushing and wanted to get out of the store fast. They just didn’t give a dam about my personal space. No pardon me, excuse me, or sorry I just need to … Nothing. Inconsiderate, thoughtless individuals. Manner matter people, and I’m running out of patience minding mine.

Well so here we go. Yet last night I heard an Emcee in my neighborhood possible at a football game or some community event so that means there were “Clusters” of people yet again possibly presenting Covid and spreading it around. I noticed that some grocery stores leave it up to you to clean your cart and I surely do with the spray. I also double up on hand sanitizer. I wash all cans and bottles when returning home. Going out to the grocery a couple of times a week is all I do outside of my home I am 72 years old and scared out of my wits right now.

Sorry you feel that way. You are most welcome here from my point of view. Sadly Bermuda and Bermudians have changed during my lifetime we weren’t always such a divided and nasty bunch in fact we used to be considered the friendliest people around. Politics more than anything is to blame, in my opinion anyway.

Insaidnthat once i saw grocery stores that serve hot food, letting people dish out there own food. Leaning over someone to grab the last chicken leg.
People should have to have a negative test before entering Bermuda.
Go in stock up on the TP

“To protect privacy and confidentiality the age of the person hospitalized will not be released”. How would this identify the person? It’s another case of the Minister withholding information and then complaining about rumors and false information on social media. Notice also how the breakdown by race has been dropped? Is this embarrassing to the Government, or is it the usual case of hiding behind “I don’t have that information with me”?

I have lived in Switzerland, Singapore, Cayman and Bermuda now. An expat in Bermuda is the lowest I have felt, you seem to hate us!

It says more about you than it does us.

As an expat, I daren’t tell a local to put their mask over their nose. I would be reported to immigration, and kicked off the island.

This is the fear expats work under these days.

Anyone arriving on a flight needs to be ban from restaurants, shops, sporting events, bars, gyms, …..

I follow the rules, my employer follows the rules. But these fools who need to get off the island for a two day shopping trip, well they need to stay home for two weeks.

They might work remotely because their employer requires a negative 14 day test, but they go out.

My office requires your 14 day test result before you can return!!! My gym, dentist,….. also require a 14 day negative test result. I appreciate that! The grocery store doesn’t, the restaurants don’t…., and unless the resident who decided to travel self identify- it’s tough to know who they are!!!

But we need a system that highlights who has just arrived on island. They need a Bright arm band they can’t get off. Then they can be denied entry when they go to the latest party or just the grocery store. Then I can move out of the line they are in because I’ll know the risk of standing in line! .

They need to stay home and the rest of us, and that is thousands of us who have followed the rules, need to demand restrictions.

I don’t want to go into lockdown, I can work remotely but many can’t and they don’t need to lose their livelihoods because someone needed to go to NYC to get the latest outfit for the holiday parties, and they will be sharing COVID-19 and destroying our fragile economy, not even mention possibly someone’s health!!!!!

BERMUDIANS ARE TOO COMFORTABLE!
People settled into their regular routines and were not careful. Just because our cases were low and we had strict measures at the airport did not mean we were immune. Bermudians need to remember that we are still in a GLOBAL pandemic, if we let our guards down like this again it could be severely worse. We must remain vigilant and safe.

One in hospital folks. Lots under investigation which means “we don’t know where they got it”. I no longer want to go to restaurants, school kids packing my groceries -no thanks and if I see another person with their mask under their nose I’ll tell them about themselves. If people want to travel fine but book yourself into a hotel upon return and stay there for two weeks. I am dreading the return of the university kids I know first hand that many have it or have had it and nobody is going to tell a teenager to stay at home for their entire vacation.
