The hedging thing was only an example stating that the PM takes example on other countries only when it suits his personal desire…

What are you talking about ??
How can a parent fail to recognize that their children might actually contracted the virus if their is NO SYMPTOMS !!!
As you said 2 days when the child gets the virus .. no symptoms.. the virus will germinate in the child’s body before symptoms can be seen .. then on the morning when the child goes out to school .. and makes some effort going to school and all, that’s when the virus becomes active when the body makes efforts and the immune system pulls off the guard..

To be honest, just writing comments to defend the government which has delayed to take a prime decision is really boring. Furthermore, you are taking everyone for stupids with your points which do not hold any logic. And you expect us to grab this !!
All what politicians are doing are politics. When they are at the govt house, it is politics. They are not doing medicine to keep their minsterial chair. And the mauritians are not as that stupid as u mite think to swallow that. I might furthermore understand that some people from the Media have committed some fault, shall there have been one. But all the Media couldn’t have wrongly interpreted informations.

“Sorry for your long posts miss mayuri, i have completed destroyed all your points cheerz.”

I do not share your point of view though.

A risk remains a risk, no matter what!
We cannot say lets allow tuition koz its only 1/3 of the risk!

Schools should have been closed since last week which would have mitigated the propagation of the virus.. The WHO and whatever organisation.. are no doubt talking about countries which are already infected with the virus.. when no1 was still infected.. why was there NO thermal scanning at airport.. why was the school resumption not delayed 1 week ?
Being a doctor means being able to cure people with science not being the best person to take the right decision at the right time.
This has been a pure One Man Show of the PM .. making his minsters taking the unpopular decisions and with himself coming at the end of the day to take the decision all the population wanted and thus take some more points of popularity.
Shall i also say it, France and india are very big countries with one 60millions population and india 1 billion … whereas mauritius 1.2million !! .. in big population it is undoubtedly difficult to contain virus.. but for small populations, it is the easiest. And still like i have said last year during the flash rains..and inondation and today i will say it again, Ther’s no Crisis Management Commitee in mauritius.. and that’s the big problem.
Furthermore coming to your points concerning private tuitions.. Private lessons is at most 2 hours.. compared to a whole day school of 6 hours !! .. the risk of propagation of virus is a third..
Also.. children are the vulnerable and they do not go to casinos as you are wrongly saying !! ..
Masks should have been distributed to the whole population .. and made compulsory to wear in places where there’s crowds..

Sorry for your long posts miss mayuri, i have completed destroyed all your points cheerz.

Update 21/08/09

btw, I was going to write a post, but finally, I will do it as a comment here itself.

• While coming to office, I saw so much students on their way to private tuitions, pfff!
• The teachers union is shouting because their opinion was not asked about the fact that teachers should go to work and prepare notes.
  wow, people are never satisfied! A few days ago, they were asking for the closure of schools, and now, just turn on your radio to hear their complaints!

I simply can’t understand why (some) teachers behave like kids!

They should bear in mind that they are government workers! They only want holidays when students are at home and they want to start and end work just like students!

No matter what the government will do, they will continue to protest!

I listened to ur dad this morning in Radio Plus and I liked the part where
” Line tor ene auditeur kine telephoner pu dir ki li pena contacte r so zenfant so lekol, b ki li bisin faire pu gagne devoir”

lol! that part was funny!

More updates later

mauriciens fort dans fer palabres!! lol

but they dont even REALISE that my dad is a DOCTOR first and above all, and there are many other doctors in the government, they do understand the implications of the infections.. lol lol lol.. but people just think they are puppets taking wring decisions! arrghhhhhhhh @@@@@
lol..

the funnier thing is that those 10 days holidays are in fact 5 so this was the better way to lose a minimum of school days..

oh and for the mask, not only it is uncomfortable, but did you know that when someone is infected and wears the mask, the accumulation of infected particles is so high that if at any point in time, the mask is removed recklessly in a crowded place, or at promximity of people, the risk of contracting the virus is MUCH MUCH HIGHER than not wearing one!

so people WASHING HANDS and USING DISPOSABLE TISSUES remains the more EFFECTIVE way to be safe!

lol lol lol..
