"We don’t want to go to Nassau or Grand Bahama to quarantine, we want to go directly to Abaco,” Ms Lanes told The Tribune. “It seems Nassau and Grand Bahama have been helped but Abaconians have been left in the cold once again.”...

No problem. The consulate works remotely, they all work remotely.

Can't be true that they do not answer the phone.

But do you really want to risk taking a single case into Abaco, where supposedly there is no Covid-19?They have almost zero Medical capability there, aside various resident DR's who happen to be stuck there.
Returning people to Nassau, perhaps even Grand Bahama is one thing, but as evidenced by the last round of flights, "protocols" (I love that word) were breached in more than two regards:
1) A person testing positive was advised not to travel and did, 2) was not on the Manifest and flew, 3) was somehow tied into 3 other passengers as yet un-described, The Consul decided a free flight was too good to pass up,
4 silence and no resignation from the "Competent Authority" 5) the ominous sound of quiet sweeping. (as in under Rugs lifted)

Silly people, Just go buy some medical supplies and renounce Bahamian Citizenship and you can come over. its not that hard.

You see whats goin on! Dem people outsmart the government(which isnt hard to do)......bout no dn swabs smt...an dey just long ass q-tips

This Bahamians we dealing wit ya kno dont forget! No sense of emergency, no compassion for families stuck overseas......is always a WHO YA KNO TING! My dad been stuck here in florida too, the woman tell him she aint get his name in time......yea right! My dad WORKS for Bahamasair, not that he should get any special treatment or anything but he is an engineer. This thing go with sense, i cant believe its so much miscommunication and non communication in this technology age......they acting like they dont know how that covid person got on the plane, like they aint kno that person was comin.....GTFOH if they didnt kno vell how come the plane came so empty, why it wasnt full? Is a whole heap of people waiting to come home!.....Our prime Minister acting real incompetent.

Is this all we have come to? True character emerges in times of crises...Bahamians seem to want what they want, when they want it, regardless of what is going on with this virus. Our true character? Spoiled brats who run to these newspapers throwing hissy fits when they can't get what they want right now. Millions of people around the world can't get back to their own countries right now......get over yourselves.

you're saying that because it's not you, your child or spouse. Its perfectly understandable why someone stuck in a foreign country for 2 months running short on money with the prospect of being in the street would be crying to come home. Thank God for the newspapers who highlight the plight of the 500.

Stillwaters, you don't wait until the time of crisis to elicit or look for "true character". This has to be already in place when the crisis comes around.

I stand corrected

About true character

**The Popoulaces are united, not to be believing a single word uttered by any the Imperialists's elected 35!**
Regardless, the constitutional mandate **on loan** to this redshirts political party, it must go under its own 24-hour curfew until such time as the 35 House elected MP's, faceoff before the media to explain the **Who, What, Where, When, and Why Truth** was a private plane with **six noncitizens passengers aboard,** granted official government permission to land at any of the colony's commercial or private airports, or landing strips? Nod once for yeah, Twice for no?

You talk about you'll feeling "abandoned", the person who was meant to see that you'll get home have abandoned her own post as Consulate General. She saved her own ass... she been outta there on the FIRST, not the second, the FIRST FLIGHT.

But anyway, A solution? Adopt or rename yourselves Holowesko; miracles can happen after that. Luckier still, you may even be appointed to a government post when you get back home.

The abandoned her own post as Miami stationed Consulate General, makes for the comrade sister general's not wanting to suffer the inconvenience waiting her time for her colony's airports reopening begins to accept air passenger traffic.
Upon reflection **her decision making,** demonstrates, she has what it takes be captaining a ship likes the unsinkable Titanic.
Just can't make this Doc appointed general.up. Just, **can't.** Nod once for yeah, Twice for no?

No wonder the consulate isn't answering, the boss is "working remotely". Wait a minute-did they forward the phones to her too? Let's see-if she was in Miami she could probably answer 10 calls an hour x 8 hours would be 80 calls per day that her helpers don't have to answer and no boss there to make decisions as was obvious on the flight that allowed the covid positive guy. What a mess! And, she can't go back for 14 days (quarantine) so no one minding the coop for 2 weeks.
