      Too often we let big business on Guam dictate if or when we express our opinions, out fear of reprisal. Not me. Not anymore. https://www.facebook.com/1977074629012362/posts/3511245365595273/ …

      I thought this was going to be some kind of joke or an ad but it wasn't. I agree. The definitions we use of "success"/"progress" are important to be stated. I think balancing the health of businesses vs the health of the people in this instance are fundamentally at odds..

      Do you think that if the President had taken a more science-based approach instead of a political one, locally we'd be better off in terms of the adverse impact of the pandemic?

      Agh. Hard to say now, but I don't think so. Guam has work-based health insurance, territories were not a part of ObamaCare, & though businesses were booming in the past few yrs due to tourism & military contracting, little went to repair our healthcare systems.

      GovGuam has shown repeatedly that our last two Governors being so in the pockets of the businesses they came up with means prioritizing businesses over the people & environment. It shows today. I think they would've acted the same no matter what Trump did over there.

      I notice you didn't really put a hard stance in the piece I read. What are your thoughts?

      A stance on the Government's response? I 100% think that if the politicians stayed out of public health decisions, we'd be better off. In looking at countries where this was the case, they've mitigated the economic impact from the pandemic.

      Would our economy have suffered? Yes. After April, outbound travel from our source markets crashed.

      I wonder. Do you think Guam had the precendent set for our politicians to have stayed out of this decision and allowed science-based decision-making?

      We'd never seen anything like this, so in trying to balance the public health and economic impact, I think mistakes were made. Quarantine gets lambasted from a political ideology standpoint, but the reality is, community spread was perpetrated by home quarantine violators.

      I think so too. But getting back to the question: I personally don't think much precedent has been set for GovGuam to follow science-based solutions. I think much of the past decision-making in the last 10 years has centered business interests, with politicians making decisions.

          This is a very interesting topic and I think you're spot on.

          I can't stop thinking about who we elect to represent us. Business people, lawyers, career politicians, people from finance... But the general lack of scientists in elected offices is telling.
