A chain is as strong as its weakest link. That cliché underlines certain assumptions, oftentimes, dangerous and egregious. As a public figure and member of the Nigeria’s attentive public, I took some measures, personal and otherwise, to protect my family, staff and myself from Covid-19. I shut my office well before FGN announced a nationwide lockdown in 2020. Thereafter, my office had zero tolerance for casual visitors; non-mask wearing guests and guests not attuned to social distancing rules. I trained my staff in preventive measures. Such measures, I knew, entailed some financial burdens. I assumed them and it all seemed to work.
it s rare. i ve never seen it at a hospital s entrance. you can be certain there will be extraordinary and well-deserved scrutiny and analysis of the people processes and the technology. the technology is a big part of it, too. how did he get through. was the weapon concealed? will cameras identify that? was it a long rifle? i don t know. neil: what we re hearing, it was an m-16 assault rifle. he was wearing a lab coat and had the rifle hidden inside the lab coat. i don t know if they re magnetometers. if he was fired and much depends on when he was fired, but in a lot of buildings, commercial enterprises, i m sure hospitals, they post a picture of the individual so if you see this individual come in, don t let
severe mental crises. right now there s no positive way or preventative way to model low these people and say how can we help you? we let you go. what is going on in your life? are there any drug abuse problems? because it doesn t happen. they basically walk you out the door and they kick you out. again, i m not justifying as to why this individual got let go. but we have a huge disconnect in the healthcare profession today and the mental health crisis going on in new york. neil: what happens when you are kicked out? i know you worked at hackensack university hospital. you might have some i.d. required of you there. i don t know if you go through
dea agent. and mayor de blasio is on his way to the hospital. to add to confusion, the projected traffic jams, the president will be in new jersey this weekend. air traffic is temporarily halted and certainly ground traffic builds when that happens. the president expected to depart the white house for that trip shortly. what you ve heard and what you ve seen and the precautions or something that went awry here to allow this former doctor to return to the place from which he was fired and do what he did. what do you think? statistically in too many cases, the shooter is either a current or former employee. in fact, just recently, within
various security points. i know dr. bello had to have some. he probably still had an i.d. what do you think happened? of course. in a hospital when it comes to security, people that man the reception halls, they come and go. they re not employees that have been there for 20 years. if a doctor walks in and he has the attitude, calls himself a doctor, even if he has an old i.d., because hospitals need to sometimes we change the i.d. every two years or three years. now we have more electronic monitoring to get inside doors but a lot of hospital does do that. neil: but if someone gets fired, do they do what they do in other commercial enterprises and post their i.d. at security points so the guards working there know? this guy comes in, don t let him in? exactly. that s why i said at the beginning, hospitals don t have
