My sincere condolences to a fine man and gentleman.

In his memory, I noted an important and yet crucial fact to note is that if the COVID-19 virus is not already here in Long Island, the only vulnerable means by which it can come into Long Island is through the weekly mail boat services coming in to Long Island from Nassau. The crew members would have interacted with their families and communities in Nassau, albeit, to a limited extent.

I suggested to the Government, the Island's M.P. and the relevant Ministry to arrange to have the crew members of the mail boats tested for the COVID-19 virus before embarking on voyages to the Family Islands, in particular, Long Island.

Whether they would listen and take heed would be a serious matter for them if there is a consequential outbreak. Like the P.M. said, "hard head bird don't make good soup".

Your are absolutely right.

I do not believe the part where he says that he is "on his knees" - implying that he is praying. We have enough problems...stop lying!

The names of the affected should be posted so that relative persons who would have come into contact may take the necessary precautions.

We can post people's names and pictures who were charged with a criminal offence but won't post this information that is of such great public value?

YEAH! But not the power. In other words, pass them the stick but not the responsibility that comes with the position. But in he case of South Andros there no need to fix what's not broken.

Is there not a distinction between a 'march' and a 'parade'? One seems to be more festive than the other.

Those are strong and valid points.

This is a huge concern to me, however, the social establishment continues to slight and reject persons, as myself, who really wants to help.

After my release from prison I did what I thought was something acceptable and significant - studied law and graduated with honors and awarded most outstanding student - only to be rejected three times by the Bahamas Bar Council.

This talk of the need for concern is easy to dribble from anyone's mouth. But no one is really concerned or cares seriously. The political class gets to retain their sense of 'one-up-manship' by killing or creating a murderous environment for our youths.

Until it is tackled face on it will continue. Hopefully the next victim will be someone next and close to Well_mudda_take_sic.
