That is great. But PHIs are saying Colombo is in dire straits. Not sure whether to believe an expert or an army commander

The present task force has failed. It is time a new team is put in place with specialist doctors as the helm. President elect Joe Biden as done so in the US.

This guy or guys never talk about the vaccine which is the buzz word the world over. What a sad state Sri Lanka in. A mistake made by 6.2 million.

The army commander should take a look at Wattala himself. People will die of malnutricion and lack of medicins, not of Covid19. The virus is not an enemy you can destroy with army tactics. He does not have a clue.

Army tactics will takes us nowhere except towards lock-downs and isolations. High time the health ministry obtained the help of health-care specialists including the PHIs to fight the viral infection. Rusty

The situation in Colombo visible as CMC Doctors and PHIs are doing a great job. Rhey are taking more than 1500 tests a day. But other MCs are not testing, so though there is an islandwide spread of Miniwangoda Peliyagoda cluster, that is prevented from manifesting. This is the tip of of the iceberg.

You all had a good control prior to general election and afterwards you have lost the control and people are facing many many problems. Only God can save us.
