    I didn’t expect a herd follower to speak or act like a learned professional. Why some man will stoop and bend over for the influence of money… it’s not like this will boost his public image.

    De man not even a good actor either.
    But his actions are now recorded in our nation’s history.

    How am I going to get a doctor to certify my underlying condition Mr. Cab Sec?

    Maybe you should arrange that for the poor bleak officers

    These directives sound good but my question to Steve Ferrol or Roosevelt Skerrit is, were these directives / instructions discussed with and approve by their Union? I ask this question because I live in a real country where the rights of people are respected. In Florida where I reside and work for the State my union met with, negotiated with and agreed with our governor and state representatives on the next step forward before employees were asked to stay home because of COVID-19. They agreed on who would continue to work and the conditions. That’s a real country but I am concerned because Skerrit himself, as Prime Minister has told the world that Dominica IS NOT a real country. So I just want to know if is there was consultation between the government and Mr. Thomas Letang before these directives were given

      And what would be the difference if you knew? What authority do you have to with the issue, if it was not to your satisfaction?

      You sound like a moron. And from the dislike here many seem to agree with me. First of all since you one of those country bookie who go americaand now in a “real” countey, then keep your … in the affairs of your beloved real country and stay the hell out of ours. Damn never see come see. Secondly there is no question of employee pay or benefits or rights right now in Dominica so why would the Government need to get into a lengthy hot air battle with Letang and his Union? Whats that saying? “Better to be thought of as a fool than to open your mouth and prove it to be so”

    I have been informed that, “No church this weekend for Catholics.” Thank you! Don’t know if this is nationwide.

    I would be interested to hear if there are any church services or rum shops open this weekend in other areas. Call it a research study.

    Research question:

    What is safer for the Dominican public:

    1. Open church and rum shops
    2. Church services open, rum shops closed
    3. Rum shops open, churches closed
    4. Churches and rum shops closed.
