Many of the charter air line provided services after the hurricanes and there are other airlines like Pinapple Air, Cat Island Air and Western Air who can fill the gap. They will, no doubt, employ some of the Bahamasair staff as their businesses expand.
Unlike Bahamasair they pay taxes and have not run up over $700-750 million of debt which we the taxpayer are paying interest so it probably costs more than $100,000 per employee now.

The gym that I attend was very careful and made sure that

social distancing was observed,
equipment was wiped off before and after use,
everyone had to have a full length towel,
temperatures were checked on arrival each day,
hand wash stations were in place
long pants and sleves were required.

I don't understand why the PM is being so difficult about gyms.

What happened to rapid tests?

In many tourist destinations, in Europe, they test you when you arrive. You go to a special hotel and the next day you get your result. If you are negative you are free to enjoy your vacation, no quarantine.

Public is kept safe as are other tourists.

Oracle is correct.

The GBPA is the one who decides if GBPC can increase its rates. Ian Rolle and those should be able to explain to the public why an increase was agreed to.
