Mr. Kinsale you are absolutely correct.

That is why Cayman is so far ahead of us. That is why Cayman has low unemployment and a low national debt. It is why Cayman has better hospitals, better schools and education than The Bahamas.

But we have attitude, we are proud of our attitude, it might be destroying the country, give us high unemployment, an overloaded school system, high national debt and so on, but thats ok "we is Bahamian" and you have to understand how" we do things in The Bahamas". Even if it destroys us.

Clearly a professional approach to doing business. Nice to see.

Good article.

The PM is being petty. I understand he is upset that some people have broken the curfew and has decieded to abuse the Emergency Powers Act to punnish everyone.

The PM doesnot know what 'transperancy' means.

Seem to remember that the Ginn Project in West End wasnsupposed to have 'ring fenced' the money for that project too.

**" Mr Smith voiced disappointment that just on person from Grand Bahama - local Chamber of Commerce president, Greg Laroda, was included on it."**

Good reason by government as he won't say boo and he certainly won't rock the boat. Don't have to worry about any creative thinking from him.

Be bad to cancel the trip because we are not testing and has no idea who has from who doesn't.
Besides, he does not have a choice as the minister of health.
He is no leader.

Agreed Tal, the government has no idea of who is asymptomatic and therefore infecting people, nor have they tested people who are positive before they show symptoms.
We all know that other countries were able to slow the spread by testing and isolating people who were contagious early on.

The US has done ten times on a per capita basis. Bermuda and Cayman have done 20 and 15 times respectively as many tests as we have.
We in bad shape.
Why did we fail to take Cayman up on their offer to sell us 45,000 tests at cost?
Incompetence, plain incompetence.

Good point Mr. Director. The law needs to be amended.
