Big question
To extend or not to extend the State of Emergency is the question. And we shall know for sure next week. Either science, the economy or health – or a combination of at least two – will be used as the reason. Hopefully politics is left out of it.
Grip tightens
A government-owned national airline in our region has just laid off 750 workers as the stranglehold of Covid-19 tightens on small economies. We are praying it does not happen to us.
No enforcement
Watch the buses speeding down the road every morning transporting people to work. At least three will be hanging around the doorway because it’s packed inside. No road transport or police officer in sight to enforce the maximum-passenger rule. Hopeless.
Stupid sign
The need for signs such as this proves that stupid people do exist.
Party-hopping
It is not unusual for MPs to change political parties but to be party-hopping in the middle of a pandemic seems strange. It cannot be a side-effect of the virus.
Food for thought
Silence is the best answer to all stupid questions. Smile is the best reaction in all critical situations.
