This short-featured article looks at developments that seem to be a \u2018Storm\u2019<\/strong> being brewed in a teapot. In spite of their destructive effects, that which usually wend their way across the \u2018Atlantic Ocean,\u2019 seems not to be the immediate bother of many citizens. Most people know that whenever these storms have passed or subsided, after \u201824 to 48 hours,\u2019<\/strong> they could still breathe sighs of relief. The \u2018Coronavirus-19 Pandemic\u2019<\/strong> is not a storm and seemingly has no intention to subside or leave the nation. In most nations, it has been rightly called \u2018Virus of Death.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

DANGEROUS INFECTIOUS DISEASE<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

There is no doubt that the \u2018Dangerous Infectious Disease\u2019<\/strong> scientifically identified as \u2018Coronavirus-19 Pandemic\u2019<\/strong> has disrupted the lives of people everywhere. It has either separated and removed loved ones from families and friends. Thus, it has significantly reduced the populations of many countries around the world. These have not only caused disruptiveness, uncertainty. With implemented \u2018Measures of Prevention,\u2019 <\/strong>there have been growing concerns over certain restrictive protocols. To the authorities the primary vexed issues are: (a) \u2018\u2026Mandatory Vaccines; and (b) \u2026Un-achievement of population immunity.<\/strong>\u2019 Among those for the citizenry, are implemented restrictions that impact businesses, lives and livelihood.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

DISCOMPOSED CITIZENS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Few may deny that outside of war and natural disasters, the impact of this virus on the economic and social life and movement of; (a) \u2018\u2026Unsuspected infected; (b) \u2026Exposed; and (c) \u2026Uninfected,<\/strong>\u2019 has been as horribly distressful and depressing as it has been devastating. Seemingly compounding these situations, has been an apparent \u2018Didactic Approach\u2019<\/strong> that seems to have irritably \u2018Discomposed the Citizenry.\u2019<\/strong> Now poised for \u2018an Administrative Showdown,\u2019<\/strong> Prime Minister Gaston Browne, firm in his resolve has already telegraphed his administration\u2019s \u2018Declaration of Intent\u2019<\/strong> to the vaccinated and unvaccinated.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

FRUSTRATION AND DEPRESSION<\/strong><\/p>\n

There have been widespread discontent and disquiet among the citizenry. Additionally, serious deprivation of opportunities to earn appeared to have led many into thinking that there was no end to their miseries, \u2018Frustration and Depression.\u2019<\/strong> The scale of which in some nations, now seems to be bordering economic stagnation, population reduction and chronic starvation. In some quarters the virus has been blamed for many things. Seemingly, whether by \u2018hook or crook,\u2019<\/strong> the \u2018powers-that-be\u2019<\/strong> have demonstrated an administrative resolve in controlling its spread. This has now provoked angst in the citizenry.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

LOCKING HORNS<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Culturally, there has been no Spanish influence in this nation, nor has there been an irresistible craving for a sport that speaks to sheer cruelty and brutality to these animals. Thus, \u2018Bull Fighting\u2019 <\/strong>is not a sport in the nation of \u2018Antigua and Barbuda.\u2019 <\/strong>Though there are many \u2018Bulls\u2019<\/strong> on island, they are farmed only as part of the food chain. The existing situation suggests that either the citizens are at variance with policy-makers or policy-makers seeking to \u2018Locking Horns\u2019<\/strong> with; (i) \u2018\u2026An agitated citizenry; (ii) \u2026 Civil servants exhibiting an apparent streak of stubbornness; (iii) \u2026Employees of Statutory Bodies showing hesitation; and (iv) \u2026Representative Unions in defiant mode.\u2019 <\/strong>Wit has been the knowledge, that whenever temper flared; tension heightened and people become frayed, the potential for the escalation of conflict looms nearby.<\/p>\n

BULL FEARING SPECTATORS<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the other hand, \u2018Trade Unions\u2019 keenly listening to his pronouncements and internalizing the content and tenor of his releases, appears to be in a quandary as to the representation and\/or advice they shall give to their members. Seemingly creating an aura of fear; \u2026verbalizing a killing instinct; and exhibiting courage and skills of a \u2018Matador,\u2019<\/strong> his resolve has been made demonstrably clear. A \u2018Bull in a China Shop\u2019<\/strong> is no different to a drunken \u2018Cowboy\u2019<\/strong> at a Saloon. The \u2018Bull\u2019 rages and the \u2018Cowboy\u2019 in trigger-happy\u2019 mode wildly shoots. Should the situation turn to the worst, \u2018Bull-Fearing Spectators\u2019<\/strong> could see either a spectacular or dramatic end. Former Commissioner of Police, \u2018Sir Wright Fitzhenly George KCN.<\/strong> QPM, CVO,\u2019 often remarks; \u2018\u2026It has never been duty of the Judge to dictate a verdict to the Jury. \u2026It is the duty of the Judge to warn them before they retire to do so.\u2019\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

BULL HORNS: GOUGE OR PLUCK<\/strong><\/p>\n

That which shall be understood, is that in \u2018Bull Fights,\u2019<\/strong> it has never been the size of the \u2018Bulls.\u2019<\/strong> That which is critical to survivability has always been the \u2018Matadoral Skills\u2019 <\/strong>of fighters. It appears obvious that any ensuing \u2018Bull Fights.\u2019 <\/strong>with or without \u2018Cabinet\u2019s Decision\u2019 or ministerial support, he stands not as a \u2018Pit Bull,\u2019<\/strong> but as a \u2018Matador.\u2019<\/strong> While \u2018Bull Horns\u2019<\/strong> may \u2018Gouge the Matador\u2019<\/strong> or \u2018Plucked\u2019 <\/strong>from the head, it will certainly not be \u2018his, or his silent Cabinet colleagues, Cabinet Spokesperson Melford Nicholas, or that of Chief of Staff, Lionel \u2018Max\u2019 Hurst.\u2019 Though the duo is not necessarily \u2018Cabinet\u2019s Henchmen,\u2019<\/strong> rightly or wrongly, in the minds of the citizens, they were often perceived as the \u2018Bearers of Bad News.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

CONCLUSION<\/strong><\/p>\n

The \u2018Populace\u2019<\/strong> shall know that as it affects the \u2018Health of the Nation,\u2019<\/strong> particularly matters \u2018tending to endanger public health,\u2019<\/strong> is the responsibility of a governing administration. Consequent upon this, the population shall know that \u2018Special Powers\u2019<\/strong> to initiate with promptitude, measures of prevention,\u2019 resides only with the \u2018Cabinet of Antigua and Barbuda\u2019<\/strong> [Public Health Act: Chapter 353: Section 126]. Be that as it may, that which \u2018Employees\u2019<\/strong> shall position themselves to know, is that \u2018Employers\u2019 <\/strong>not only have moral obligations, but also legal obligations to provide for \u2018Health and Safety\u2019<\/strong> at the workplaces. The \u2018Public Health Act,\u2019<\/strong> so dictates. Now, however difficult or horribly the situation may become, the indomitable \u2018Prime Minister Gaston Browne,<\/strong>\u2019 likened to a \u2018Ringed Bull\u2019<\/strong> appeared well psyched up for a fight with any \u2018Bull or Bully- male or female,\u2019<\/strong> that dared to enter into the arena. \u00a0***<\/strong><\/p>\n
