**The left all by emself'.** The comrade prince who was all set as the heir apparent move on up into the office of the prime minister, and now even his Montagu constituents want to fast dispose of em' to the dumpster.
**Shakehead** once for Yeah next in line after em,' is the **most powerful** redcoat aka plp, comrade health minister Renward, Twice for Not?, Twice for Not?

Dr. Duane Sands, Robert Myers and a number of very wealthy Bahamian families are behind the Living with COVID Coalition, a not-for-profit coalition affiliated with the Organisation for Responsible Governance (ORG). D'Aguilar is obviously doing his best to piggy-back on their initiative while trying to distance himself from Minnis as much as politically possible at this time .

It seems the word is out that Minnis has cooked his own goose but good as regards his future in Bahamian politics. The long knives have been unshealthed behind Minnis's back, recognizing he has become more poisonous than kryptonite in Bahamian politics. Even Renward Wells, like D'Aguilar, is now talking with certain political factions opposed to Minnis in an effort to save his political hide.

Boy - you even more fool than I ever took you for prior to this garbage.

The Bahamas is ranked 182 out of 184 countries in the Covid-19 recovery process. I was out yesterday and saw some 2 dozen plus people on pavements walking close together, in front of stores chatting to others plain without masks, some with masks under chin etc. If conintued devient cannot be controlled by established lawful authorities during regular hours seems not further effective after forced lockdowns. Perhaps many large noticable roadside signs with carefull wording advisory should be erected in dense populated areas with much foot traffic etc. Constituencies offices, bulk of them especially eastern side of island, more than half of dense population should be manufacturing/sewing machine mass producing approved reusable washable masks and FREE given out many mask to households and photocopied pamplets Covid-info etc.

"Studies suggest the tests – which Mr D’Aguilar said cost between $10 to $15 per unit – are accurate when diagnosing symptomatic patients."

Studies also show that COVID infected persons are most contagious in the days BEFORE symptoms become apparent!!!!

thats BS. Either you are contagious, so breathing out virus particles - which CAN be detected by a test, OR you are NOT contagious and so this cannot be detected by a test. Think before posting BS

What's at stake for the red party and what to expect should Comrade Renward, assume the reigns of the all-powerful office of the prime minister?
**Shakehead** once for Yeah **em's closer to power** than any other redcoat wants to imagine, Twice for Not?

- The Christmas Rebellion Coming! - **(Not necessarily the supportive views/options of Comrade Tal)**

Okay - what is the get up and go? Can we Bahamians who have responsibilities in more than one island - e.g. New Providence to Cat Island or Eleuthera or Andros of the Berries be unquarantined to work and travel with minimal discrimination and get back and forth to work? Things fall apart without supervisionn and it costs more than twice as much to pay for errors, deconstruct those errors and rectify them with all taxes accrued for every screw up.Boy we are in a mess!

**Exactly, exactly, exactly** asks what is the right **get-up and go,** and how and who is to tally as to add up, like keeping the if makin' progress score of the** get-up and go?**

I don't think government gives two hoots, truetruebahsmian..

My comrade DDK, let's us pray for the sake of the entire colony of 1200 islands, cays, and rocks that the 35 House-elected redcoats MPs** will indeed be paying close attentions** to have no political axe to grind - em just want to save the colony's out islanders from experiencing a **cancelled December Christmas.** Amen!

The government is acting in Tourism like they were acting in Freeport , Grand Bahama. Rather than holding the Ports feet to the fire and making them carry out their duties and responsibilities, for which they are collecting hefty taxes, government stepped in and performed those duties at additional expense to the Bahamian people. In the case of tourism, it is stakeholders other than the government that will determine when that sector gets up an running. And whilst the government should prepare and stand ready for such eventuality, any premature moves will result in additional expenses and possibly social and damage to the health of the Bahamian people. Despite the numbers of persons contracting Corona, becoming ill, and the unfortunate number of deaths, the economic fallout form the Covid-29 pandemic will be more devastating and the effects more longer lasting. As the US moved into its winter season, more businesses , like restaurants and bars and retailers will not be able to operate within the safety guidelines set out by the emergency orders. Some will have to close, and unfortunately for many, that closure will be permanent. And as the unemployment numbers climb, the recovery efforts will become less effective and more difficult. And the outcome of the US Presidential Elections will also have a great impact on the recovery of the US economy. Or it’s destruction. Some predict the cruise industry will not gain steam until late 2021, and yes a safe and disease free vacation will be a major draw for those venturing to travel soon. And so the ability for The Bahamas to keep its guests safe and corona free, will be the major selling point, to get the tourists to come and to give other players the confidence to reopen. And even then it will not business as usual. At least for some time.

Until the Ministry of Health tells the clinics and the people of the Family Islands who the Covid positive people are, and where they are at, we will not see any improvement. Knowledge is key. The Ministry of Health is part of the problem.

So, let me get this straight? They just now came up with 3,000,000 tests? Where were these tests when we needed to be saved from Covid. Everyone has been saying for the last 6 months we need more testing. And now, miraculously 3,000,000 “not for profit” tests show up? Are these “not for profit” tests going to be free? A friend was just charged $200 for a test in Freeport. Let’s see- 3,000,000 x $200= 600,000,000. There is a lot of room for some graft in there. Wouldn’t we all like to see a factual cost of what they are going to charge the tourists for the shots AND health insurance? We are 3 days away from opening up-supposedly. And maybe someone could explain the logic of PCR test required before entry but rapid test after entry? Baffling!

The tests were sourced by and provided by a private Bahamas based NGO.
Be thankful for them, and thankful the government had the sense to accept the offer and plan.

I have heard what they want to do but no substance on how they will do it. My question is what happens to a tourist if they test positive.

Example.
A family of 4 on a 5 day vacation perform the required test after 4 days and the mothers test is positive.

Is the whole family quarantined? Or is the mother removed from her family?

Where are they quarantined? In a government facility? Or do the security of Atlantis lock them in their room and post guard in the hallway?

Who pays for their quarantine? The family, the hotel or the government?

What legal consequence's are there for detaining foreign nationals against their will?

... you ask these questions because you have chosen to do something our government will not, and that is THINK!

The tests cost $15, were probably donated to the government (?), but the government is gonna charge $50, $75 or $55 for them depending if a) short term stay, b) long term stay, c) resident returning?
What idiot dreams up this crap?
Flat rate it and be done with it!
