Ma comrades, have you too wondered how long it would take before the Imperialists governing cabinet, would begin writing the **Bailout cheques** in response to we colony's mainstream print media's **"Dear Leader"" plea** for a coronoavirus **Stimulus?**
Some beggars, will even **reprint** sufficient **PMO supplied evidence** as proof as to why it is that they possess, **not single strain journalistic shame**
**Life for rest PopoulacesOrdinary, sucks!** Yeah, no?

Well, we queen colony out islanders populacesordinary fromulous imperial crabcakes done redshirt to dem snagulatory populaces disordinary comrades is puzzlulated jes’ tryin’ to read what you been ventilating here in dem chicken gumbo ... yeah, no?

LOL @Clamshell, someone needs to throw @TalRussell's nonsense back at him.

Well, Ma Comrade Clam, I'd wager numbers odds that some **homeschooling** tutoring in **English comprehension** strategies - would do the trick your posts.

Well, I would agree that one of us certainly could use some tutoring in basic grammar and communications. I’ll leave it up to our friends to decide which of us would most benefit from that, thank you.

There's no plan Madam Editor. I'm more afraid of the persons making the decisions than I am of the virus.

Aguilar on Mar-3:"*The Bahamas might even receive a boost as the Ministry of Tourism was receiving feedback that there was “keen interest” in this nation from meeting planners and event/conference organisers who had been forced to cancel, or look for alternative locations, due to the virus’s impact in other parts of the world*"

My comment on that date:
"*don't bank on that holding up too long. all it takes is a report of a single case then reservations are cancelled*"

these men are leading the country and making statements weeks ago that we might benefit from a flu pandemic.

In the same week Turnquest said they were planning for the fallout and had been for "some time". But yet a dramatic chaotic announcement on Sunday to close schools.

And then a hastily organized meeting at Finance with real experts *after* the sugar hit the fan. Was the purpose to even listen or did they just organize the group for a Facebook photo? Because from last week Tuesday Gowen Bowe and Gilbert Morris had both confirmed that "*noone had reached out to them for any input*". They got a call *after* the first case was confirmed. So where was the planning?

I really hope we don't wake up today to more chaotic ill planned news as is being widely speculated.

Good points. Thank goodness population experienced in hurricane disaster management when hurricane travelling and some parallels to present disaster situation.

Cuba is sending twenty-one specialist nurses to Jamaica (March 14) and hundreds to other Caribbean nations and have developed one of the leading treatments for Covid 19 used in China and now Italy. The Bahamas must act now to retain Cuban nurses before they are all taken.

As the axiom goes: "United we stand, united we fall".

I just wish government had acted four to six weeks earlier to help cushion the very hard fall we're about to experience. The writing was on the wall in late January and we're now past mid-March. One thing we have learned though since May 2017, Minnis is only ever capable of acting in reactionary mode at great cost to the vast majority of the Bahamian people who are not on his 'gravy train'.

Agreed ……….. any forward thinker could have realized that in January, China was going to have a major Covid breakdown ……. but I suppose our leaders hoped and prayed that it would stay in China ….. then it hit Iran ….. then Italy …… then Seattle etc ...…….. And still no real plan of action????

That Sunday 8pm speech was NO real plan ………. just a speech. We await House of Assembly on Wednesday for more speeches (and hopefully a little more substance). ……. But, it is getting late for us to act on Covid.

Where was the Minister of Foreign Affairs to raise the alarm having his Ministry an office in China?....and the disaster. Just being appraised in the severity and the Chinese reaction and their ability to harness vast resources and build a hospital for this in mere 10 days!!!!!..... and then as everybody knows inadequate govt doing much in crises....and even years later Ragged Island complaining for help....end even before Freeport wanting help before Ragged Island disaster..

The problem with Covid 19 is we are competing with the world for scarce resources. That's why slow Bahamian politicians are so dangerous in this matter. They need to act fast, like obtaining test kits and respirators or hiring Cuban nurses before they have all been hired by South America, Jamaica and other Caribbean nations.

Now is not the time to be bringing people from other nations, including Cuba, into this country.
