Yes it is your choice whether to take the vaccine, bit if you don't you don't get the benefits. Its also your choice not to take a drivers license test, but if you don't you cant drive a car (well legally). Also since when is someone who has had Covid unsuited for the vaccine? This is only the case if you literally just had it. Finally no, the EU does not allow people to travel who have had Covid, though they are implementing travel for those vaccinated, and the US is as discussed in the comment above.
Bahamas Institute of Chartered Accountants. it is the organization that regulates accountants over here, and there have been a number who have had to leave some of the big firms and yet are still able to practice.
Or they held out hope that things would get back to normal and they wouldn't have to let anyone go and have now realized that won't be happening for a long time so have let the people go.
We are a pathetic country. This has been going on for over 5 years and still not resolved. Can anyone in Government run companies actually do anything. Can our government do anything with sense? Also why in the world would you place a bond with over 8% interest for the foreign investor when they can't get anywhere near that interest rate in the US? Does the Government realize that interest rates are at historic lows at the moment so they don't need to pay rates that were paid out 10-20 years ago?
Unfortunately we like to talk as though we are a Christian nation who does right by people, however we are anything but. Doesn't matter which party is in power they are all the same and never do anything unless they can see the benefit for themselves. By now they should have a procedure in place for family to be able to visit inmates.
This is good, however why does it take the US to police our waters. All it will take is a couple of those big boats being taken (as we are allowed to by law) and then sold for word to get out that we are serious. You only need to look at photos on fishing sites to see the amount being caught is well above our laws. Finally I know the boaters will say if we do that they won't come, well don't, its not as though you have a great amount of choice as to where you go.
