I think Sweden went about it the right way. Isolate those who are at risk and elderly. The rest practice some measures but basically carry on. They could have done better on isolating their care homes though.
Won't be that temporary if we take your advice, which is to hunker down until the virus is cured. Could take a long time. Wonder how long after you begin to run out of money will you change your tune.
and God ain't pleased with the PLP who have done nothing except help bankrupt this country. He is really displeased at the die hard supporters of both PLP and FNM who will blindly follow their party no matter the damage they are doing to The Bahamas.
But then Government would need to ensure that if that car crashed into someone they would have to pay it 100%, immediately. 3rd party is their so you can't affect others, insurance is so high as most people can't drive. Every day i see a crash.
Thankyou whogothere, fully agree. We are about to enter uncharted waters in Bahamas with all the layoffs coming, and the idea of staying closed until this is over seems to still be the mantra of the day for some, with the belief that when we re-open everything will go right back to how it was.
And many more will follow. In a few years we will be able to look back and see which option we feel was the right one, but as of now the economic impact is starting to snowball as more companies realize this will not be over soon, and many owners are running out of money with no options left to take.
Its not bold. Its trying to hide from the virus. Effectively we are going to shut every time there is a spike. So then there is no point in opening. Just shut it all down. I am sure we will all be ok. Or you could try to have the police enforce the social distancing laws. if a restaurant is found to not be doing what they should close that one down. If people are at the beach in large groups arrest and fine them. What he has done is the easy way out, in the hope that in a couple of weeks he can re-open and there will be no more spread. Chances of that are very low.
