Fully agree. All this means is whenever the PLP get elected again the FNM will be treated in the same fashion. The speaker is not meant to be on the government side, they are meant to be impartial. This one is not.

Based on the route the car took there were plenty of CCTV cameras that would have caught the driver. As they haven't we all know why.

We have a mortality rate of 14% because we don't test. If we were all tested then the rate would go down dramatically. They keep mentioning this rate and then those super spreaders who they have not tested. So they know there are plenty people out there who have it. But it benefits them to say plenty people will die if they don't have this lock down. Ask them to show what the effect will be in deaths for us with so many people unemployed. How many additional deaths there will be in the long term as the Government will not be able to fund the already underfunded health care. They should open up and those who are high risk completely self isolate. Why should all of the population watch pretty much everything disappear because we are unwilling to isolate these 14% (which will be a lot lower).

If they do this they may as well open everything as there will be no social distancing in Church.

There won't be any new taxes until the election, During the election whoever wins will promise no new taxes then when they get in say oops and increase taxes.

I take it the PM does not want all these businesses to be around whenever the country finally opens up. These businesses are making decisions today so that they can open when allowed and re-hire their employees. Everybody knows that whenever this country opens things will not be the same as before, as their are no tourists. This means businesses know they will be seeing greatly reduced sales for a while, which will make it harder to be in business. The PM did what all politicians have done, to take away from their great failures they try and get the population to blame others. Maybe Government should say if these companies keep their people employed even though they are home they can allocate the salary against any fees due to Government (VAT, Business License, duty etc). But i highly doubt that.

We all know how this will end (it will involve a broom and a rug). They have the evidence so no need for an investigation, but they always say this when they already know the outcome.

I have to give credit to NIB, i applied last week and received this week, all done online. Could there be an issue with the bank account details given If wrong the funds will end up in limbo before being returned to NIB which in turn could take a long time. In addition if this is for people who have been temporarily laid off then their company must also send a form in. Either way hope it gets corrected soon, and hope Government opens us up again so i can come off NIB.

This is terrible. The government should immediately spend at least $20 million to fix this instead of helping Bahamians who are suffering in Bahamas right now (spoken in my MP's voice)

Wouldn't it be wise of the Government to maybe give BPL $100 million to buy oil now at these cheap price? This would save the Bahamian consumer a large amount of money which the Government can demand gets paid back over the time this fuel is bought in. Or would that be too smart, and it would be better to give BPL the $100 million over a couple years to fund their excessive workforce.
