A lot is due to panic buying causing the price across the world to go up. In addition there has been some major issues with growing food across the world this year which will translate into higher prices. No idea how Super value works out its margins but we all pay more for non bread basket items thanks to those items. Just surprised that no other supermarket has not decided to undercut super value, as in time they would grow greatly.
I'm not sure on that. There is no vaccine and yet tourism has occurred in Europe, so i wouldn't be surprised if people are willing to risk a holiday, as long as they know no lockdowns and quarantine .
I am unable to find the information out, however what is our death numbers overall this year compared to the last few years. It would be interesting to see if this year has more or less deaths overall. The fact is the PM did a great job in the first phase and was able to eliminate the virus. Then he made his mistake of opening up borders and now we have it again. He tried a hard lockdown (stupidly with no notice) and we the people said no. So now we are reopening (we have to economically) and yet we the people are causing the problems. It is not the PM who is out partying without social distancing, it is us. If we just follow the social distancing, washing hands and wearing masks we should be able to do pretty good. However that won't happen and instead of blaming those who are not able to do that, we blame the PM.
How temporary? I mean on July 10th he inistied that if we gave him 3 days then it would all be over. That was a lie. so are we to wait Until the vaccine? Many more lockdowns to come as every time we open up a bit there may be more spread. If Minnis was smart he would have got the hospitals ready for the next wave. But nope he did nothing .
Useless Minnis strikes again. If he was actually sincnce about the health issues we face he would have tried to sort the Health Department out from when he got elected. As of now he has done nothing, but he can now use its decrepit state to force a lockdown on Bahamians.
I think the last thing anyone would want is to have a Government Building named after them. You know within a couple years it would be run down as our government can't maintain anything.
Yup we should all hide in our homes until this vaccine comes about. Once it does we will all be back to normal and all the companies will reopen as though nothing happened.
I never said that, but times change and so do people. Unless you think once you supported someone then that was all you were allowed to support. In which case Minnis wins in 2022. But if that was the case Christie would have won in 2017, but then Ingraham would have won in 2012. So guess like most things you should probably think first.
