		<description><![CDATA[Firstly the Government did not organise individual house party where attendees wore bracelets indicating they were under quarantine. Nor do they force others to remain and said parties. Individuals who lack respect for authority and who are caught up in conspiracy theories did that. That went to work and infected others. They went home and spread it to their children thus the snowball effect. 

Let’s address these selfish ignorant behaviours about some people instead of waiting for opportunities to blame a government that has helped restaurant workers, hotel staff, stakeholders and the like while aiming to create ways and means to sustain Bermudians and the debts the country has. 
Too many blind leading the blind has caused this dangerous situation we now face in Bermuda. 
Get a grip and get real, radio host spreading falsehoods and fear, doctors tweeting stupidity and arrogance lead the pack of fools who can be swayed by the slightest of winds. We need to unite as a country and work through this headache the world is facing. 
One thing COVID has taught me is that ignorance doesn’t matter how highly qualified one is!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First, the government allows a dangerous covid situation to develop. 

Then, one week after saying their previous measures were &#039;sure to take care of it&#039;, they put in place a rushed, heavy-handed, and ill-thought-out week-long curfew.  

Then, in response to the exemption requests, the Minister responsible fails to oversee the process, and fails to review any applications, preferring to leave it to civil servants.  

An exemption is granted for an important building project, for a hotel which is expected to become a major employer, and which is expected to open in a few weeks. 

A film is made by a disgruntled ex-employee, criticising the exemption.  Rather than defending the decision, the responsible Minister admits she couldn&#039;t be bothered to review any of the the exemption applications (not even the successful ones), and throws the civil servant under the bus. 

At the same time, Burt tells us in a press conference that Sail GP will have to abide by all the regulations just like everyone else.  He does this one day before an announcement that Sail GP has an exemption and will not have to abide by the regulations like everyone else. 

What did I miss?]]></description>

Why not just rescind the Shelter-in-Place Regulations and let more people get sick and die? This is politics at its worst.]]></description>
