This is well said. What are The Bahamas' food stocks? The country should have saved enough food to last an entire year. As global currencies become worthless and billions unemployed, countries may look to hoarding food and national produce to prevent their citizens starving. This could lead to the collapse of food exports and supply chains. We need to remember cause and effect. The world has not yet pulled through the "cause," which is the pandemic. The "effect" of the pandemic, a global financial crisis, could last many years. We need to prepare NOW for the effect that comes after the cause.

"if the government provides the necessary funding and support"

Our people need to start doing things regardless of government funding. Stop waiting for a big handout and start planting seeds.

They should let the public know which location of Wendy's it is, so customers who ate there can be on guard.

They must be owned by the right people.

If they use an N95 respirator mask, which all food handlers should wear, it will protect them from the virus. Look it up.

The PM made a mistake in locking the country down with such short notice after sending a notice around that news of the lockdown was Fake News. This caused panic shopping. Now, the Bahamas could experience food shortages, due to panic shopping -- just ask the UK... Baking bread should be considered an essential service.

This was very predictable. The employees weren't wearing masks. I reported on this previously how the lady at the drivethrough wasn't wearing gloves or a mask during the pandemic.

You didn't fall asleep. You were wide awake to dollar, borrow, spend instead of think, plan, save.

This is not a real nation. We have no military. We have no food security. We don't even have our own currency for crying out loud; it's pegged to the US dollar. We are virtually a giant airport in the middle of the sea. We are like Las Vegas surrounded by desert. Everyone knows this. Businessmen use our IBCs, because there are no corporate income taxes and no requirement for a national presence. They use our ship registry, because the inspections are less strict and the liabilities less onerous. You get what you pay for. You pay for fake, you get fake.

This is the scariest comment. Hope is all we have at this point. Hope allows us to remain lazy. "Eternal salesman" what a burn!!!
