It is the pandemic that is deciding what the government does. I thought you were the expert. Why can’t you seek their advise today, why wait until Wednesday? Your method of dealing with the pandemic is like fire fighting.

You don't need to be an expert to know that if the country doesn't lock down immediately we will be utterly overwhelmed - look across the Palk Strait. Your dither and delay has meant we are already significantly behind the curve.

GLP was running around as "Siyalla Duth" and when things go bad with poor decisions wants advice from specialised Doctors. What they said were ignored by the "Viyathun" in Parliament
