Oh, how painful it has become to listen to the leaded of the opposition; Philip ‘Brave’ Davis fumble his way ever so clumsily past commonsense and logic to come up with his way of dealing with reality and I would caution all parents on subjecting their children to his aimless, nonsensical, illogical and irrational reasoning’s, because out of a sense of respect for their elders and public figures they may actually come to believe that this type of thought process, reasoning is actually acceptable.

“There does not appear to be any logical connection between the measures being implemented by the prime minister; the Competent Authority, and the overall objective of, [of], [of] protecting the Bahamians from contracting the virus and then once contracted, how it would be contained and so [that] therein lies the challenge.” – The Hon. Philip “Brave” Davis – Leader of the Opposition, Progressive Liberal Party.

Mr. Opposition Leader, exactly what is the challenge that you seem to be unable to grasp?

First, it would be of grave importance to introduce Mr. Davis, leader of the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP), to the word mitigation.  This simply is the action of reducing the severity, seriousness, or painfulness of something; simple word with a very simple meaning.  So keeping this in mind, let us look at the government’s plans and objectives as it pertains to COVID-19 and its spread because each and every measure has been to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 virus, because to date there is no treatment and no cure.

“There is currently no treatment specifically approved for COVID-19, and no cure for an infection, although treatments and vaccines are currently under study.

Instead, treatment focuses on managing symptoms as the virus runs its course.”

– The Center for Disease control and Prevention (CDC).

 This is what is being done worldwide, so Mr. Opposition Leader when you question “the measures being implemented …and the overall objective..of protecting Bahamians from contracting this virus and then once contracted, how it is to be contained”, actually what are you talking about?

The first step was the Emergency Orders – One, Mr. Opposition Leader you should have remembered these because these are the very same orders that you and your political organization objected to and labeled as being over-reaching.  These orders were comprised of mandatory and drastic shutdown of all public and private places that people would congregate and where there would have been the possibility for the spread this virus….MITIGATION.

There was then the education of the country as to what we were dealing with and how to lower your chances of contracting it because as some point the country had to open back up in a controlled manner. 

I must admit Mr. Opposition Leader that I am simply flummoxed as to the logic behind your comments, because in a real world there is no logic behind them, only the false logic that runs amok at Gambier House.

My final point Mr. Opposition Leader; you once suggested Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis, be guided by science but here you are questioning the very science that you asked he be guided by, this act is very questionable and therefore disingenuous at best and extremely ignorant at worst. – The Center for Disease control and Prevention (CDC).

The Progressive Liberal Party fails for one reason, it is their nature.
