Absolutely! We must determine who is not infected and therefore able to return to work. Test everybody now!

Please survey those who have been PCR tested to reveal what is the expected wait time for a report, after a swab test
In Canada it can be longer than 6 days versus 15 minutes for an antigen test!.

What global climate change?
What sea level rise?
What increase in hurricane activity?
What about the economic future of the Bahamas?

Right on Clamshell
So solar and wind power are the real options?.
all trees would need to be cut down and every square inch of New Providence and Andros would have to be covered by solar panels to meet our power needs. And every 10-12 years the panels would have to be replaced resulting in unbelievable environmental consequences (landfill) Wind power is also not an option because of unreliability and salt air corrosion. no more birds.
Citizens please get informed and stop the fear mongering by these activists..

We do not know who are COVID infected and who are not, in a big part of the population. With PCR testing it takes as much as week to get a positive/negative report + many hours in a queue
This is killing. Rapid testing (15 minutes with antigen method) to get us out of this hole NOW!

On Bahamas ranked low on response

Rapid testing (15 minutes) must be available now in order that people who are not infected can go back to work and get our economy back. Lockdowns are not the solution.

What climate change? Stop the fear mongering FYI there is no noticeable sea level rise.
Want to destroy the environment? Use wind and solar power and then try to bury the toxic trash as landfill after 10 or 20 years of use in the Bahamas..

Please post the current average wait time for a PCR Covid19 test in Bahamas and the time needed to report a finding.
In Canada its a 6 hour queue and 3 to 5 day report delivery. The speedy (onsite) antigen test has not yet been implemented..... regrettably..

Who says the science says oil drilling is very bad?
FYI sea level is not rising according to this PhD scientist who has looked at the tide gauges. Enough hysteria!

ColumbusPillow says...

Gentlemen, let be known that 6 offshore wells have already been drilled in the Bahamas over the last 60 years and there has been no misadventure reported to date!. Please do not panic, the engineering involved in offshore drilling has been perfected over the last 85 years.
Mr Bootle what are your professional qualifications that provide you with a basis for your charges? A lot of Bahamian BPC shareholders would like to know.
