The “guidelines” are just that, guidelines, or suggestions.

The Regulations, which are what count, can be found here: https://www.gov.bm/coronavirus-regulations#

Would you would prefer that Bermuda adopt the ways of the UK or the US and increase the chances of catching COVID-19 by between 5 and 10 times and increasing the risk of dying from COVID-19 by between 8 and 9 times?

Are you serious? You want the Government “providing citizens with vitamin D 3 & C to help strengthen immune systems”?

Do you know anything about the COVID-19 virus?

If it were that easy and inexpensive to save over 1.5 million lives do you not think that would have happened rather than investing billions of dollars in medical research looking for a vaccine or a medication to assist the respiratory system during infection?

If you drive a vehicle when drunk and harm people, that is not “inadvertent”, purposely not adhering to sensible prevention measures then infecting people is not either.

Where can I see these guidelines? I’m trying to figure out what to do. I’m an older man and don’t feel comfortable driving, but I also don’t want to risk my life just so the bus A/C can be efficient in the winter.

To Imjustsaying,

If you think our COVID-19 Regulations are “ridiculous draconian laws” I suggest you to to the UK where you will (statistically) stand a 5 times greater risk of acquiring COVID-19 and an 8 times greater risk of dying from it.

Alternatively, you can go to the US where you will (statistically) stand a 10 times greater risk of acquiring COVID-19 and an 8times greater risk of dying from it.

As for me, I am staying here where it is relatively safe.

weak, target the bars with a ia lane excuse . Its not the bars its a FEW stupid individuals who can’t follow rules. Target and FINE them the bar staff do the bestvthey can but can not be in 1D laces at once.Face it the egoist has lost control of it and will try to deflect it away from themselves. Bars are NOT the only lace with large crowds or loose individuals.

We don’t hear of positive numbers coming from churches like we hear it coming from returning travelers, businesses, restaurants/clubs and now schools. Leave the churches alone as we have the proper protocols in place and are abiding by the rules enforced by COVID-19 rules and regulations – taking temperature, wearing masks, physical distancing, sanitizing hands, etc. I’m yet to enter a restaurant or business establishment that has taken my temperature.

Really? Then why do bus drivers routinely tell me to close the window if the A/C is on? Air conditioning actually makes the bus more dangerous because it circulates the airborne particles around the whole bus… What is the best way for me to handle this in the moment?

In general people are going to be split on what the right actions are. So no matter what they do, some will say they are messing up. There is a trade-off between livelihoods and life, how can they win? The only thing to mitigate this trade-off is asking for masks and social distancing. If that does not seem to be enough, it puts them in a tough spot.

By: anon

You can be fined for DUI because you could inadvertently harm people. You could inadvertently harm even more by ignoring the mask rules, so how are fines draconian? Vaccine is coming, it won’t be permanent so we just have to put up with it for a while longer. It would not take much for our hospital to be overwhelmed, just like what is happening in small communities across the US.

Covid is not the PLPs fault, but they have gone from an A to a D, they are messing it up.

No, your comments are utter nonsense. The finances are a secondary issue, but PLP and finances? Don’t get me started. $3bn of debt, their failings.

But regardless of party politics, there is a real sense that when it comes to Covid the government are making it up as they go along, and lack leadership.

We all know the correct decision should be 20 people in churches too, but their deference to the religious community, regardless of what is safe and right evidences this.

If this virus is so dangerous and contagious where are all the biohazard bins around the city and island to dispose your mask in?

By: WHAT?

WHAT? — Mon, 07 Dec 2020 00:29:27 +0000

First of all no country can control Covid and since we are talking about finances lets talk about the $185 million Morgans Point Hotel that you obaUBPerrs have us paying for as a guarantee.

Now we have a lego blocks for toddlers airport that wasn’t supposed to cost the tax payer any money but we have tax payers have pumped 20 million plus in and counting as a guarantee…….which will a every year.

The obaUBP is so worthless your own supporters lost respect in you fools and left you with 5 seats and a JETGATE.

It is not of control. Its people like you that’s out of control. Blaming everything on the PLP. It’s not like the OBA would done better for this country. Clearly showed that in this last election. Keep your fake news to yourself. You don’t get tired of pointing fingers. This is not PLPs fault A&**%.

Have there been any discussions about opening bus windows? My understanding is that this is required in other countries to reduce Covid transmission.

Sounds like the PLP have lost control of Covid, along with Bermuda’s finances.
