He opened the island up, increased the size of allowed crowds, etc. He also complained that the police were being too heavy-handed enforcing covid laws. He put in process a change in law to make sure covid breaches are summary offenses, not crimes. He weakened the covid laws.

By March 1st, we were in a mess and curfew was reinstated. Burt started complaining that the police were not being strict enough enforcing covid laws. And here we are with one person in 60 confirmed positive. Full lockdown. Ming doesn’t even know what Ministerial exceptions she has made to the curfew.

Burt could have kept control of this. We have enough vaccine for everyone, it just needed proper leadership. Burt is not up to the task.

*Cars and bikes are not supposed to be on the road except for necessary trips to the grocery store or chemist or gas station. The roads should not be dangerous.*

My comment to counter that has only just been put up but it looks like since then you’ve had an about face !

Not only are people going out when they like for whatever they like, the roads are as hazardous as ever. I had to jump out of the way of 4 cars and 1 truck (with a for hire plate) today on my daily walk. So much for only going out when necessary!

Understand what essential means. Find a definition ,google it if you struggling.
Stop being selfish and start respecting essential workers .

There is no conspiracy or failing on the part of the Govts. I’m not a scientist but this is how vaccines (or some anyway) work. They put a “piece” of the virus into your system so that the vaccine can attack it. I’m willing to bet you put way worse things into your body on a Saturday night.

It’s pretty simple: this spike is driven by the more contagious and aggressive UK variant which is now on the loose because of irresponsible people going to big gatherings and parties IE the Botanical Gardens, the Smith’s party and the funerals. We have 18 people in the hospital – that should be causing all kinds of alarms bells with you non-believers! Of those in hospital, how many people in their orbit are now worried about themselves? I’m quite certain A LOT.

This will help you and anyone else better understand:

Then go get vaccinated. Everyone will eventually anyway so you might as well just do it now.

The people around me that follow social media tell me that there were people who attended both parties.

Evidence suggests that you can still transmit Covid even if you have been vaccinated. The vaccine stops you getting severely ill with Covid but it doesn’t stop you transmitting it. So for those of you who are not taking the vaccine and are relying on enough others getting the vaccine to give herd immunity, you are playing a dangerous game. You need to get vaccinated yourselves.

If you’re trying to say that the numbers of vaccinated people correlates with this spike or that there are vaccinated people getting Covid-19 or that the vaccine doesn’t work, you won’t have a leg to stand on.

We know by just looking at the numbers there are more people not vaccinated than there are vaccinated. It’s obvious by just looking at the stats. Based on that and knowing that the UK variant is spreading quickly through Bermuda, it’s CRITICAL that everyone gets vaccinated. The UK variant is driving this spike.

Sidebar: 36 hours after my 2nd jab, I started to feel lethargic in the evening, like I had a long day of hard labour. 48 hours later and it’s a complete 180. Feeling pretty normal.

1. No

3. Correct, but does have a self determining legislature
4. No it wouldn’t.

The UK has zero obligation to offer to help us out the PLP mess. See point 3, we voted for this.

Some day you will grow up and be responsible for yourself, but you will still have parents and your mum will still feel the same way about you.

That is what happened to Bermuda nearly 401 years ago. On 1 August 1620 we became responsible for our own laws and system of government.

Maybe we are now dealing with the legacy of prior activity, but you only have to look to other countries UK and Europe, to see where that has gotten them with repeat lock downs the last of which started in November and is still ongoing. It really shouldn’t be that difficult and we enjoy more freedom ( currently) on this beautiful island than others across the pond, where everything is strained. Just want to see life return to semi- normal, be healthy, happy and the good vibe come back.
