No say in the matter...

After hearing about the "Salone lock-down", yesterday, I still can't imagine why or how this decision was made. Of course, we've had no official notice of this... but based on Reuters and other international news reports, I guess it's official. Seems like a strange way to announce a country lock-down via social and international media... but we're living in strange times. 

There are still too many questions to be able to reasonably assess the impact of this lock-down. But, I really hope we get some answers... Q: how much will all this cost (21,000 people to move door-to-door)? Q: are essential workers to be exempt (police, nurses, etc.)? Q: is the GoSL going to provide food and care for the entire country for 3-4 days? Q: who's going to run the logistics of this operation? ... Oh, the questions!! Perhaps you have questions... is there any way to assemble those questions and put them to a GoSL or Emergency Operations Committee member? What's missing is feedback from the public... how can people have their say?
