It's time for us to make good on our friendship with China and have them send test kits and respirators right away. The Bahamas has been playing games. It needs to wake up. Just look at Italy. Without rapid testing as in South Korea (TTT Trace, Test, Treat) and a surplus of respirators, things turn sideways quick with this virus. The strategy should be to test 500 Bahamians a day and isolate them. China is sending test kits and respirators to the Philippines, and the Bahamas should ask to join the queue. We've already lost serious ground. No time to play cute with privacy. The names of infected people should be released to the public, so their contacts can be traced and quarantined. The Government may be covering up that its 14 day quarantine of Bahamians returning from China failed and let the virus in (faulty test kits & virus can stay dormant and untraceable for 24 days). There is no room or time for a cover up. Complete transparency is required.

This argument doesn't hold up. Tens of tousands of foreign owned and operating IBC companies have been registered in The Bahamas. This doesn't mean that The Bahamas is responsible for their actions or what happens under their watch. These IBC companies, like this cruiseship, don't have a Bahamian business license or the right to carry on business in The Bahamas. What is more, they aren't owned by Bahamians or have any connection to Bahamian citizenship and the rights related to citizenship.

This was such a no brainer.

With Independence The Bahamas' motto switched back to Commerce Expelled Pirates Restored

The PI 10 acres crown land is probably worth around 50 million alone. So the Government would be giving the Grand Lucayan Hotel to Royal Caribbean for free. Just crazy.

To live in The Bahamas is to spend the majority of one's time reading the exploits of low IQ pirates misusing the public's trust and funds. What a sad little place this is.

This deal could easily fall apart due to the Corona Virus alone decimating the cruise industry. This government gambled it all and will likely lose the bet.
