... so 'Brave' attends a super-spreader "family event" that had several hundred people present, but now he wants to limit the size of gatherings for the rest of us! A typical example of rules for thee, but not for me!

Thing is.....a whole lot of his supporters believe wholeheartedly that he has a plan to keep them safe. He can't even keep himself safe. This is his second rodeo with covid.

He won a whole election on that lie. He had no real plan then nor now. So be it

Boy he sound like the old PM Minnis... a compentant authority... without using the title.

Yeap, lies and false hopes...now he's in the thick of it and having to feel some of what Minnis felt during this whole mess.

How long does the booster last.

I really hope you get paid to do this. Would be terrible to waste your life commenting on the Tribune without any reward. I'm sure your mommy has already told you that when she begged you to get a job and get out of the house.

complete BS! last time they took 4 days to issue health visa, so now how can you test within 3 days before departure...

"Bahamians and visitors entering the country will be required to test negative within three days of departure, as opposed to five days. Beginning January 7, a negative PCR test will be required for all travellers entering the country."

This is worse than with Minnis...and it will do nothing to prevent Covid spreading in the population, as we already have an explosion in new cases

About 10 days ago right here I predicted Covid would kick the PLP square in the arse by mid-January, and here we are early for something for once, but it's NOT in a positive way!

**The horse has already left the barn!**

Had the government been watching the world, especially the Netherlands, they would have easily have seen this coming. This is the first time in the pandemic that I personally know of 5 people with covid. It is probably safe to guesstimate at least 20% of undiagnosed covid carriers are asymptomatic spreaders.

This is NOT where we want to be headed!

The Health Visa is bad enough to discourage tourists. There have been so many complaints how it suppresses tourism. Now we are back to the PCR test again where most people could not get tested, wait for the results and scan the documents to get a Visa in the five day period to arrive in Nassau. Soon we will not have a viable winter tourist season if all these rules keep piling on. People will either stay at home or go somewhere else which is far easier to enter.

The hotels are full, the cruise ships are back with full steam. Go walk down Bay St now and tell me again how the Health Visa is discouraging tourists.

Totally agree. It’s just a couple travel agents from New York and Ontario who keep whining about the visa when it is actually very simple and the few I have done took less than 30 minutes to get approved. Must be intellectually challenged. Who even uses travel agents these days…so 20th century. Maybe that’s their problem.

You all delusional.

Who is going to count people in private gatherings?

Karen may be even scared to go and catch covid.

Omicron is just a bad headache. Think you have it? Break out the benadryl and keep quiet.

Be thank Minnis the Monster is out. He woukd have you locked in and curfewed.

Be glad you are not being compulsorily vaccinated.

Omicron will be better than the vaccine.

Stop the madness.

Um, Benadryl (Diphenhydramine) is an antihistamine for itching and allergies. It's not an analgesic (painkiller), like Tylenol, Aspirin, Ibuprofen etc, which most people take for headaches, fever etc.

If you've ever personally wondered why your headaches don't go away after taking Benadryl, you now know why, lol.

The early antihistamines fight covid.

Exactly. Recommended to me in early COVID as absolute at home essentials were 1. Benadryl, 2.tylenol and 3.albuterol

yep the impact of pandemic may have been limited by over the counter drugs...instead the Govs and Docs panicked...

Can anyone explain the benefit of a negative PCR beginning January 7? By then we will probably have more cases per inhabitant than the US.

The compotent authority , Mr . DAVIS. All we dis was switch out from Minnis to him dictating to us what to do. If people qant to party and get sick, it should be their choice.

ever heard of the bait and switch? Now Phillies wife got it the story changes LOL. Everyone will have had the bug by end of Jan. Get a shot or take your chance with the bug. I don't care. Lets get back to business. heard florida is showing 27,000 positives per day and growing. be prepared because here it comes. All the time wasted over the past 2 years was simply a delay, not a cure. the end result is inevitable. May god's peace be with the Bahamas and the whole world. many more will die so make your peace you never know if you will be next.
