Just remember who came to the savior of the people of Abaco via Coast Guard using military assets ... less than 6 months ago!

Our biggest issues in pulling ourselves out of this mess entail inherent dishonesty, poor work ethic and a “D” average work force ... which together with a historical lack of accessible capital make solutions from the very few entrepreneurial brains extremely hard to come up with, much less implement.

Something not ringing true with this Story! There is simply no way the US would jeopardize their relationship with us, much less their various interests in this Country (Autec, Coast Guard, DEA, Embassy, etc. not to mention Private Investments) over something so petty.

Come on Man ... “Asue” ... seriously ... and people thought you might be a candidate for future Minister of Finance!?! How about cut dead weight from the Public Sector by 30 to 40% combined with everyone taking a pay cut of the same percentage so both our Country and those Businesses that are prepared to try and continue at least stand a chance of being able to survive? Those that are focused on productivity and customer satisfaction will eventually be rewarded financially for their sacrifices and our Society will be all the better for appreciating that not only hard work, but enduring hardship, taking risk and indeed, enduring “much” stress are all keys to being financially secure.

The Minister should be applauded for his candor, not criticized for his honesty in conveying the new reality facing each and everyone of us. Unfortunately, too many of us would prefer to not face reality and live in a sugarcoated world. Sorry, but this reality is just that ... reality!

Great Message, but not the best example of “Social Distancing” ... please practice what you preach if you want General Public to take you seriously. Nonetheless, Thank You for your Service!

Many of these “fly by night” supposed Security Companies are in fact nothing more than Scam Operations employing undesirables who create the very security issues they then seek to extort money from the victims to address. Government oversight of this currently unregulated industry is desperately needed.

excellent!!! Most “decisive” Leader we have ever had! Thank you for doing your best to protect us whilst juggling all the many competing interests. Again, thank you!

This is equally crazy to allowing NIA to be used as a hub for international travelers scampering around the world. We are losing are huge advantage of being Islands, which by definition create isolation and protect us in times like this ... but not if we continue to connect them by moving people back and forth. All persons outside or within The Bahamas (Foreign or Bahamian) should have figured out by now where they intend to spend the foreseeable future and stay put! Again, just ask the Italians now with hindsight what they think of this, as Lord knows they would love to turn back the clock and do things differently.

This is insane ... we are acting as a hub for international travelers to get around flight restrictions impacting their normal flight routes. Indeed, it already appears it is though this very Airport that “Patient 0” arrived ... and that was most likely “at east” 2 to 3 weeks ago now, so one can only imagine the number of infected people that arrived since and interacted with Flight Attendants, Baggage Handlers, Customs Officers, Taxi Drivers, etc. History could well end up judging this as our dumbest decision of all time ... literally! Just ask the Italians what they would have done differently if they could turn back time.
