People just suddenly dying
The government ignored and downplayed it the first time around
And here we are again
Where’s the updated Covid case Dashboard? No report of current cases since Feb 28.
Very sad. RIP
WHY DO YOU PPL COME ON THIS MEDIUM AND BLAME THE GOVERNMENT FOR EVERYTHING? AN AUTOPSY HAS TO BE CARRIED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF DEATH SO LET’S JUST WAIT AND SEE WHAT THE RESULTS SAYS, INSTEAD OF BASHING THE GOVERNMENT PRE-EMPTIVELY…………..
This is Antigua. Things will never change.
1) Anything good happen….the party in opposition started it and the current government finished it and
2) Anything bad happen….automatically the government in power at the time is at fault.
We only see red and blue in this country. Sad indeed.
The last time a man died face down in a gutter, and we the public never heard anything after that. It happened last year during the peak of COVID.
So people only dead from covid now? People never drop dead suddenly before covid? Chups u covid experts sick ma tummuck now aid aru bullshit.
