Persons who purchased raw conch products all the way in the Western part of the island came down with the sickness. Remember the corona virus also moves from humans to other animals. Is this a new strain? Some people are still bed ridden since the weekend..
Minnis is not only the PM but the competent authority. Orr! I bet now he will relinquish his authority as the competent authority because now he faces a battery of lawsuits and challenges!
And the Federal Government is rolling out it’s $15 minimum wage for Federal contractors and all their workers. This will mean Bahamians who qualify can now move to the US and get a green card. As Americans seek the higher paying Federal government jobs, more jobs will become available to immigrants. And if tourism and the cruise ship industry rebounds in late summer, early fall, this may mean a shortage of workers in this country by the winter tourism season. So yes, Haitians, some of them may decide to stay in this country. The hospital is already experiencing a shortage of qualified nurses as many trained nurses seek opportunities in the USA, Canada and the UK among other countries. And the police force are other armed forces are expected to see losses in manpower as persons retire or leave the forces for other reasons.
And was it under the last Ingraham administration that they (the US) wanted to test an AIDS vaccine on Bahamians. Only after it was confirmed that those who took the vaccine would test positive for HIV did the plan become unattractive and was scrapped, or was it?
How long ago was it (not too long) when this country accepted a donation of (not Covid-19) vaccines. Only to find out after starting to distribute them that they were all expired.
Absolutely Bullshyt! The sloops are sailing because Joe Biden has changed the US immigration policies. Not only has he agreed to allow in more immigrants from the Caribbean (yes that includes Haiti), but if illegal immigrants make it to the USvand are discovered, they can remain in the US until their cases are heard ( unless they have criminal records), unlike under the Trump administration, where they were immediately deported. Canada became the country of choice to migrate to during Trumps presidency, because of his harsh immigration policies. But with Biden trillion dollar plan to reconstruct’ America’s infrastructure, there will be a severe shortage of manual labor. Biden also extended the time for temporary migrants (farm laborers) because again there was a shortage during Trumps ‘Great Wall’ administration. Also there was an extreme shortage of temporary migrants last year because many refused to travel to the US for fear of contracting the Corona virus. And so many crops went to waste in the fields because there was no laborers to harvest and process them. Trump did not realize immigration policies are not absolute and there has to be some level of tolerance and border crossings.
The thing about the killings of young, Black men in the US by law enforcement agencies (if there’s any such thing) is even though these killings are not decreasing, the number of rouge police officers being charged and sent to jail I increasing. Time for this country to follow precedent. No killing should go un investigated. And if the authorities don’t don’t it, Bahamians must join forces and do their own investigations and force justice.
