It is clear the PM has no idea of what he is doing.

What if you were planing to go tomorrow to get groceries as you have not been for a week?

I guess he believes that you can starve the virus.

How can you plan when he keeps dumping things on you?

You had better go out at every opportunity as you never know when he will do something stupid.

Economist says...

They won't test you until you are ready for hospital. By then it is too late for many.

Countries who have kept the death rate down test, test and test.

That way they can start to treat early on and avoid the hospital and
they can trace others early on who may have been incontact isolate them and those with it.

Low testing means a lot more Bahamians will die. Sad.

Locking us away will not do the job.

test, trace, treat

I have been staying at home as you asked. Haven't been to the food store since the 19th but by the tone of your statement I need to panic a go try but out the food store now as it sounds that you are going to make that a major exercise of "begging and pleading justification" to go.

This is going from the sublime to the ridiculous.

I thought that the police were out there to stop people who were not supposed to be out.

So because you can't control 1,000 people you are going to punish all 400,000?

That's not leadership.

Economist says...

Thank you RBC. This is good to hear.

Economist says...

It is because that dumb Commissioner of Police is incapable of enforcing the law on law breakers and makes everyone pay for one of two bad apples. Better not get caught speeding because he will get the PM to ban cars.

Economist says...

Am I the only one, but does Ms. Bowers have a closer relationship with the St. George family than most US diplomates have had in the past.

I guess she does not mind the Chineese interest and control of Freeport Harbour just a few miles off the U.S. coast. I say that because the St. Georges are partnners with the Chinese and let the Chinese do as they want.

Economist says...

Why do this during our busy tourist season? Would it not be better to schedule this for September and October when there is less traffic?

Carnival's 'admeral' can't have been quoted accurately or if he was....

" he emphasised that the sewage discharges noted by the court-appointed monitor have been treated sewage which do not harm the environment."**Strong**

If this were so, surely it would be permitted and there would be no need to record such non-environmentally damaging discharges..........emmmmmm.....something doesn't sound right!

Why do I get the feeling that there are good environmental reasons why such discharges must be reported.......to protect the environment maybe?

Performance indicators??? Not in the Civil Service vocabulary.
