Idiots. That is why we have more than 650 active cases at the moment.
You people believe anything lol none of you stopped and asked why didn’t the home owner get arrested or why did they just let people leave. Because there is only one way out of bostock hill and that’s means they let them go. Now why would they let them go an the homeowner not be charged…because it’s not real!! Stop being so gullible
There are two exits on Bostock Hill East, and not to mention that you are spreading absolute fallacies. Let’s all wear our masks, practice social distancing and adhere to the guidelines put in place by our government. Hoping that all stay safe during these unprecedented times.
Lock all of them up and make them do public work so that the people of Bermuda can see who these asses are.
Exactly!!
How is a group of 20 on a private house porch different than 20 people sitting around 2′x2′ tables at a bar/restaurant porch without masks?
What consequences can the organizers or attendees expect upon conviction in court? There might be some benefit to adjusting the next iteration of the legislation to allow for an immediate and substantial fine, eg $10,000 for organizing and $5,000 for attending such events…
Oh no! God forbid people try to enjoy some natural social interaction. They are such bad people for wanting to do that for a virus with a 99% recovery rate. People can be such sheep, Im really starting to realize that the overreaction to this plandemic is worse than the virus itself.
Finally somebody who’s got some sense!
This is a complete over reaction to this virus. I supposed the same sheep would distroy 99% of there garden just because there are a few weeds in it. LMAO!! Just take out the weeds idiots and let your garden grow. Fear is an excellent weapon against sheep and it’s working.
Tell that to the dead, those hospitalised and those in ICU.
The issue is, it’s highly contagious and deadly. Are you so unbelievably callous that a party is somehow more important?
I ask again, what about the groups of people, maskless and closer than 6ft, in front of the bars? Surely they, the government, the chamber of Commerce and restaurant/bar owners are equally callous?
Dumb.
Agree with Sage. Outdoor meetings are allowed to 20 people.
Yes there are two ways to get off of Bostock hill east and is through an illegal pathway to west
