Ok, so I read the Bahamas Supreme Court judgement.
1. Bahama Divers had a US Agent and a US phone number - i.e. was US connected so they had right to try the case.
2. Bahama Divers chose to ignore the case in the US completely ignoring their US connection.

Nothing is said in the Judgement but, reading between the lines, it would appear that Bahama Divers did not put the case in the hands of the insurance company.

We all know that when you get in a car accident you inform the insurance company and the insurance company handles the case from there so it begs the question why Bahama Divers was fighting the case?

Where was the insurance coverage?

Tell that to the people who watched their family members get sick with COVID-19 and then died. I can think of two people who have lost, otherwise perfectly healthy, family members.

"Before returning to The Bahamas, he was a member of the Goldman Sachs Investment Banking teams in both New York and London. He holds a master’s in business administration from Stanford University (2018) and a bachelor’s degree from Morehouse College where he graduated as Salutatorian in 2014."

He was am member of Goldman Sachs banking team both in London and New York? He graduated 2014 and even though he was busy on the team he had time to do a MBA or did he join the team afetrwards? Emmmmm!

If he did join afterwards, he did not hold much of a position (apprentice maybe?). Even if he joined in 2014 he would not have that much decision making experience yet. Why not have at least 10 or 15 years of experience before taking on such a position?

I agree there should be no reason for the 102 location pending number.

It is evidence that they have no idea what they are doing. Screams of incompetence.

Makes one wonder if this same incompetence is the cause of a number of deaths.

I suspect this is why Brave Davis went to the US for treatment. Sad, because he has had a large part to play in our current health facilities.

Economist says...

Shut it down. We need the Bahamasair money for food, health services and assistance for those out of work.

Thousands of us and a couple hundred of them. Shut it down, get real.

Economist says...

Brave's actions speak for themselves. His daughter is not at the hospital that he is in. Just as she is monitoring him from one state to another in the US why not from her hospital to Doctors Hospital in Nassau?

Answer: Brave has no faith in our hospital system. If he believed in "his people" he would have stayed.

The question is what will the government do next? It must have a plan to test frontline staff (police, nurses and doctors, immigration and customs officers) more often because that is where the major spread has come from.

Business will not survive anymore lockdowns and there should not be a need for anymore if the government would test these workers on a regular once or twice a week basis.

Good job Mr. Sands.

The people of Grand Bahama are greatful for your determination and not giving up on the island.

Economist says...

Sure why not bunch up all the heavy breathing people into a space when you can reduce the density.

Ahhh, but "this is for your safety and health".........emmmmm I must be missing something here?????
