Super Wash and Minnis both have their brains set to stupid!

Good luck getting tourists when Nassau is getting 600+ cases a week! Not to mention no one in their right mind is going to "Vacation in Place" in a police state for 2 weeks! This entire administration is clueless and full of hot air!

With borders opening you can't help but wonder who Minnis and Super Wash will blame this time when the country sees another huge explosion of cases in the coming weeks, because last time I checked according to Minnis you don't need a China Virus test if you've been in the U.S for less than 72 hours and 10 year olds for some reason still don't need a China Virus test to get back into the country. **#CLUELESS**

1) This is what the health officials are advising us to do.” **What health officials?**

2) "No one in their right mind is going to "Vacation in Place" in a police state for 2 weeks!

International agencies found the Bahamas to have more people incarcerated per capita than any other country in the region forcing us to admit the Bahamas is a police state!

No response from Messrs Dames, Minnis, Davis? **Odd!!**

Tourism is not coming back this year. The virus is out of control both here and in the U.S. and it will only get worse as we head into winter. The government needs to get serious about testing and contract tracing. My husband tested positive for COVID on Friday and we haven't heard from the Department of Health yet. We called the COVID hotline and were told that he will have to manage from home because there are no hospital beds. I think we're way past saying the situation is "not ideal," Mr. D'Aguilar.

This curbside thing is pure nonsense. Imagine needing to go to the store to buy standard micro condoms or douche? No privacy whatsoever. Went to Lowe’s this morning and I guess the little kids were still remembering last time (do they ever forget anything?), this time around I got turned away very rudely (tried to hand me a flyer - you need a car & WhatsApp to receive service). Very stupid and blatant discrimination (people who probably live in the ghetto with mummy are trying to act uppity). Earning a paycheck so they don’t care.

There was another line with people waiting to fill prescriptions and they all got served. Wasted my time standing there. This country is filled with weirdos (you’re a nobody and yet we spend so much time thinking about YOU).

you just have to put these condoms into a brownish paper bag like they put alcohol into in the US for hiding alcohol from the police :D

Anytime D’AGUILAR comes to the public with a statement, expect Minnis to come with a follow up statement that is the complete opposite. So that translates to ‘Expect even more lockdowns or longer lockdowns in n November.’ The facts are almost all the businesses or activities that require large gatherings including schools and universities had to be shutdown due to Corona outbreaks. And if the large hotels wrrr to have that experience here, imagine the fall out. So the options the government had is to partner more with the small properties and attract the upscale tourists or ones seeking a more quiet, private vacation. And to keep its fleet active during the pandemic, one airline is offering what they call ‘flights to nowhere.’ Where passengers board the plane and take flights over the city and then return home. Bahamasair can offer ‘fly outs for Bahamians and others where they fly over the popular Bahamian islands and then return to their originating islands. Then it can be expanded to include weekend packages at local resorts and serve as tests to reopening the tourism market.

I read that story about qantas flights to nowhere too, they were also selling off fully loaded inflight service carts laden with booze - sold out in the first day....Bahamasair has got to be inventive...more debt ain’t the answer.

The Ministry Of Health and Competent Authority need to : Separate the sheep from the goat (Covid-19 from the basic sick patience) Take all covid-19 patience out of PMH and put them in a make shift hospital setup to deal with covid-19 only.

If the doctors and nurses do not want to work in covid-19 hospital. then recruit doctors and nurses from aboard.

That would take stress and pressure of the hospital and flatten the curve.

It will cost a good penny, but it must be done. The longer they take to make decision, the longer we will be seeing these numbers increase and having these lock down.

I thank God i do not have to go to PMH for any sickness. Because now dog eat your lunch.

Could not someone tell them that you can not mixed (chicken with fish) because the fish will spoil the chicken. Same with covid-19 and regular sick patients.
that is why the PMH is in the shit it is in now.
***my 1 cent***

My Comrade XT, when comes the more deep-fried greasy the better, you're trending in a colony where since lockdown of POAL place worships, many churchgoers sought-out to worship before the **Alter of Finger-lickin' KFC.**
In nutshell, Dioniso James would've been ca$h better off had he bypassed wash 'em business for Grocer Rupert's, and the Colonel's, **virus, and Mr. Minnis proof** business models.

> Acknowledging the “push back” and criticism that the government has taken over the latest restrictions, he {D'Aguilar} said: “Everybody has the belief the politicians want to do this. Trust me: We don’t want to do this. This is what the health officials are advising us to do.”

The majority of Bahamian voters in May 2017 did not elect health officials to govern our country. So why are Minnis and D'Aguilar telling us that they have turned the governance of our country over to un-elected health officials (unqualified Wells aside) during this pandemic? Don't these two incompetent buffoons (Minnis and D'Aguilar) realise that they are still the ones directly charged with the duty to govern our country in a responsible manner? Health care officials are only entitled to advise the government during times like this, and Minnis and D'Aguilar are in no way obliged to act on their advice when doing so would not be in the best interests of our nation and the Bahamian people.

It seems to many of us that Minnis and D'Aguilar are only too eager to blame others, like health officials and even the Bahamian people themselves, for their own gross incompetence as elected government officials in the way they have handled the deadly Communist China Virus crisis and its impact on our economy.

SO, WHAT will exactly change until Nov 1? let me guess: nothing, they just seek for a way out of their fake pandemic and lock downs. Now imagine they would just declare end of all this crap, people will start to sue the government over the damage. So, an exit strategy has to be placed in order to appear like the virus is slowly disappearing (while it is not)...

Does anyone else realize how fake this stuff is and has been from the beginning?

Sure there is covid, like other corona viruses, like flu, like adenoviruses, like TBC like all the dangerous stuff out there. Just no one before got this idea of exploiting them for dictatorship governance.

Where does COVID 19 go when there is a lockdown?? to sleep or does it go into hiding?

it hides in caves waiting for end of lock down

Can the PM grow a pair and fire this clown? D'Aguilar makes a donkey look like a genius. With him and the PM and others making such a blunder with this crisis, they're destroying our economy and overwhelming the healthcare system. Tourism will not be fixed this year. This is a write-off. Focus on getting the numbers under control and keeping local businesses open.

For those not adhering to rules, enforce the rules. This is not rocket science.

This country is in.a sad place. We're stuck between two useless parties.

Can we just put a stamp on D'Aguilar's forehead with the word, "Asinine"?

D’Aguilar at this point is doing his job - it’s getting people in here. Quarentine is standing in the way. Cases are standing in the way. The only alternative left is what has been proposed. Simple reality is the rest of the health officials need to catch up studies that at the end day point to the fact that

1. the fatality rate estimates has been hugely overgrown
2. realize that it is likely they are working PCR tests that are way way over sensitive so they pick up viral fragments, rather than infectious disease
3. And finally admit that their direction with lockdown and restriction are likely costing lives.

Peer reviewed study dropped to day that estimates that at excess death not related to covid is likely around 75000 persons between March and August (half the covid confirmed deaths in the us at the time) Vast majority where those with Dementia, heart disease and diabetes - not covid related deaths...There is no conception of this the Bahamas... our government is flying blind...

**The fundamental truth is that the government response prioritizes some peoples lives at the detriment of others...cancer didn’t take the year off because COVID joined the party, neither did vascular diseases...in comparison COVID is pussy cat to these other killers**... but to acknowledge this fact, Medical officials need to take a slice of humble pie and admit COVID is not the be all end all, maybe the were a little wrong and simply adopt a broader view of public health. One that encompasses and protects the need for diagnostics, mental health, education and employment as part and parcel to a healthy society with same force with which they have sought to protect the 0.26% of population are likely to succumb to this disease...

Case and point http://www.tribune242.com/news/2020/oct…

listen to this guy:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGBEaYE…

Some indisputable facts: there are at least 40 countries that currently have NO active Corona cases. There are quite a few more that have less than 10 cases. Yes some may be small or remote but they have controllable cases. Just over 20 countries have recorded no corona related deaths ( Haiti is among them). And at least 50 countries that have recorded 10 or less corona deaths The more remote a country is or the more sparse is its population, the less challenging is the covid-29 virus for that country. More dense populations have a greater time fighting the virus. A more mobile population also have more difficult time fighting the virus. The more a population interacts with the outside world, either by people going in or persons going out or both, the more difficult it is to control corona.
