  1. MSJMC stays having a 99% negative test rate. Not suspicious at all.

    And we never know where the people who are testing positive are from, how they might have gotten it, are they being treated, etc. But every other country provides this information.

    SMH

  2. Well, I got more info on the new cases in St. Lucia than I do in the releases accompanying the the dashboard here in Antigua.

    • You know from it how many persons are at the SLU hospital? You do realize though not critical some of the active ones may be hospitalized? Do you know how many persons in SLU are self quarantining? How many at SLU gov quarantine? How many pending tests in SLU? How many of their total cases were imported? All of this info easily obtained via the A&B dashboard

      • Hunty just lowe the covidiots please. Dem nah give af about that all dem k about is pulling down Antigua making it seems like da worst please pan earth.

    • Antigua hides information

      We never know where the persons who are infected live, what areas, the age range, the condition of the people, are they hospitalized, etc.

      Antigua is not the worst place but clearly has one of the worst governments in the Caribbean.

      Every other island has more reasonable protocols and some places even provided cash stimulus for their citizens.

      You have a bad government in Antigua that is corrupt, stealing money from the public, stealing the island’s wealth, accepting bribes, and not protecting citizens during a pandemic.

      Instead citizens are treated as second class citizens with a huge heaping of racism on top of it.
