(1/5) Many in #Bermuda are concerned about possible clusters of #COVID19. Please rest assured that the @DoHBermuda team that has effectively managed the Pandemic is acting out of an abundance of caution to ensure that anyone who may have possibly been exposed is quarantined.
(2/5) Please note that "Quarantine" means there is a possibility that someone may have been exposed. This is a precaution so that if the quarantined person does eventually test positive they won't transmit the virus to others. People who are Quarantined have not tested positive.
(3/5) Individuals who are "isolated" are those who have tested positive for #COVID19. 99% of persons who have been quarantined have not ended up testing positive for COVID. Again quarantine is only a precaution. The @DoHBermuda will issue instructions to persons based on risk.
(4/5) There will be a statement from @BdaGovernment this evening to update on the latest precautions taken to ensure that students & teachers in @BDApublicschool & other residents are fully informed. The @DoHBermuda has been working all weekend to ensure our collective safety.
(5/5) I ask all in #Bermuda to trust the @DoHBermuda team who have worked hard for the last 9 months to keep this country safe. We have the testing capacity & the technology to contain any outbreak. We must all follow health rules to reduce any possible spread of the virus. -DB

#BeingBlackInBermuda is knowing that your talents are better appreciated overseas but you are still determined to fight for your rightful place in your own country to ensure your children don't have to put up with BS that you did growing up. -DB
Someone asked why am I not working in IB in #Bermuda. Being valedictorian of my high school, earning a bachelors degree with honours, elected president of GWU & a graduate fellowship for my masters degree wasn't enough to crack the IB bubble as a black Bermudian man in 2003. -DB
Thankfully, after being unsuccessful in trying to break into Bermuda's private sector, Dr. Ewart Brown had faith in me and gave me the opportunity to computerise TCD in #Bermuda, and I was honoured to repay his faith in me by putting TCD online b/w 2004 & 2007. -DB
