Isn’t it great that Dr. Heather Morrison is creating laws that would ensure you do not have to choose between family members? Listening to Dr. Morrison on television, and reading the Guardian newspaper, Dr. Morrison is happy about how she can interact with her family. I am assuming at her age, that she does not have any grandchildren missing their grandparents.

Dr. Morrison made the statement a few weeks ago that we may have nine deaths and 307 hospitalized before June 1.

This is not going to happen.

Then our Premier Dennis King stated that we do not have any remedy to bring people back from the dead. Why are they using fear-mongering to keep their subjects in line? As Dr. Heather Morrison should know, stress can cause unnecessary heart attacks among older citizens.

P.E.I. has had a total of 27 COVID-19 cases to date. Nobody has been hospitalized and thankfully so. We have not had any deaths. How many people would actually know if we have had more deaths this spring from pneumonia symptoms than from the coronavirus?

Leaders must make decisions. Sometimes they are wrong, but you must take chances.

Only people that do not make mistakes, are people that don’t do anything about the situation.

We are presently lacking leadership from our Premier. He should take control and send Dr. Heather Morrison back to the ER.

Turn up the dimmer switch. Where is the Green party?

Where is the COVID-19 hiding?
