well they don't look happy... pretty grave

thankfully they're bringing in retired officers. Not sure all are competent but I'd be happy to see Stephen Dean on the front lines again.

New Providence should have had a curfew for the past 10 years …….. SMT

The lady in the floral dress looked as if she wanted to cry while doc was speaking. It was
very painful listening to him. He repeated himself. and was boring. he should have cut
the chase and get to the point. which he never did.

Jerome Sawyer's questions were really DUMB, Altamise Hanna of ZNS had the best
questions that were relevant

Your analysis is weak ………… read the document

Oh my, The Colony's government is hopscotch responding to the Globe's deadly pandemic. Zero PopoulacesOrdinay dying from the virus is now just a hit and miss.

Hey, Tal ... when will it dawn on you that there’s no such word as “Popoulace”?

Makes no difference since it's just way I use my Out Island language learning.

They have this thing nowadays called the internet where you can look stuff up.

Leave Tal alone

I agree lol

No way am I googling after we **Dear** PM warned us, it's all Fake. Yeah, no?

Shut down the webshops 24/7/365 with immediate effect !!

...ditto that!

Should have done that a long time ago.

The Guardian has a much better report than this.

The government curfew is good! However it’s elementary when threats are not from Bahamians. Threats are from foreigners coming into the country ‘ most country around the world has closed their borders – we need to do so too ‘ dam if we do - and dam if we don’t close our border!!

Exactly

Most infections are coming from people returning to their country now. Is the same stupid thing Trump is doing. EVERYBODY JUST STAY PUT.

Btw, at last politicians are stepping aside to let experts speak. Thank you for clarity Ms Forbes! nd Doc smiling like a goofy daddy, Oh my.

You Tube video where Corona is explained and what we can do to avoid it.

And another baby boom in 9 months, plenty alternative work or an obstetrician/gyneacologist/politician

Bingo!

**Another ill-thought-out reaction by this government! Stupid, stupid!!**
Really, persons must be locked away in their home during the curfew hours?
There are still many workers that have no other option than to go back and forth between the hours 9pm and 5am. We still have tourists in Colony?
Neither the PM, nor his AG, said if the curfew is Colony-wide? What are the Homeless and the Mentally Impaired persons to do - imprison them too?

The curfew will sure wreak havoc on sweethearting......just a thought.

… not for daytime sweethearters!

…its kinda stupid to allow people to travel into the country from affected countries WHILE curtailing movement of the local population. The airport and harbor MUST be shut down with immediate effect. Both seem equally as important to me!!

not sure what the curfew will do, don't know the rationale. Perhaps they are trying to limit the activities of young people ( and the young at heart) who are still "hanging out" with not a care in the world and laughing at all the old scary people lol.

Thursday is a great time to do it since this is usually when people begin the weekend. not sure what they guh do with satdee and sundee

The government is hoping to limit the spread of the coronavirus through this curfew.They are following in the foot steps of other countries.They were caught flat footed by the virus spread and other countries reaction to it.This situation also exposes how vulnerable this country and it's economy is to external shocks.That is one of the reasons a former FNM cabinet minister in the Ingraham government felt reducing the deficit to zero in three years was too ambitious.

What about persons exercising? (walking or jogging)

**Oh My God - Noooooo!** Although just yesterday me family doctor highly recommended I spend lots time outside get lots fresh air? I guess we have two **conflicting medical doctors** opinions?

Got to jog in place inside your own backyard, where your house us attached to the ground.

**What about up on da ruff?**
Fox Hill Prison has just expended Colony-wide. Cant write this stuff. Just, **can't.**

These emergency measures are where the rubber finally meets the road. Now we get to find out which is worse for us - the life threatening Red China Virus or our new Supreme Ruler Minnis !

This is a minor curfew compared to the other curfews being implemented in cities and countries around the world. On March 31st after an evaluation by the medical professionals, If more clusters of the virus are found, an even more severe Curfew may be required. Critics of Minnis, no need worry. He is only following the advise of the professional to give the Bahamas a chance at the best case scenairo.

Interesting that while we lose tourists there are a number of flights crossing overhead on their way to destinations in Cuba. Some are from cities in Canada and others are from cities in western Europe. I should be interested to know if these aircraft are empty of passengers or occupied by actual tourists. You can check for yourself using a flight tracker like FlightRadar24.

Still no empirical evidence that this dis-ease is any worse than any other variation of the Flu. But you are going to see increased domestic violence, mortgage defaults will go through the roof, 25% of business will close and never reopen, insurance sales will drop, NIB contributions will flounder, bank fees will go up, children will repeat the grade.

14 day curfew is a joke. if you aren't going to do this for 60 days minimum then the curfew isn't going to help at all. a person is infectious for well over 14 days. Now explain to me how 14 day curfew will take care of all the carriers without symptoms who could be infectious up to a month.

Well done Minnis et. al. you have officially screwed the pooch. and 14 days won't do crap to prevent anything. if you are going to be serious about this tell everyone its going to be 60 days right now, instead of keeping us all in suspense. Show me the evidence.

the data out of china is flawed. you can't test only sick people and say OMG we have a 100% infection rate.

President Trump is substituting teleconferencing wherever possible for previously scheduled major gatherings in person as far out as June of this year, e.g. the next G7 meeting.
