Countries like Canada and U.K. have blocked flights from the US. A spokesman for the Europeans say Americans, despite their abaundance if resources, mismanaged the Corona pandemic. The president sent out mixed messages and they never acted as a United country to combat the virus. When New York was under the gun, other states distanced themselves from New York. Now Nee York doesn’t want people coming from Florida, Texas, Arizona California to New York. Some states are just now enforcing the ‘mask’ law and some businesses are refusing to serve persons who are, yes ARE wearing masks. Dr Fauci says it’s drinking in restaurants and bars is the major cause of most spikes in Corona. So what are most people coming to tTye Bahamas to do? If people don’t follow the rules and guidelines in their own country will they do so when they come here? Do were all the lockdowns and curfews here in vain?
Food Stores were raking windfall profits for at least three months when, at least half the time only food stores pharmacies and gas stations were allowed to open. At one point, Roberts said sales were ways above normal, even more than hurricane sales and Christmas shopping. In fact he said sales were up 85% above normal. And he even went on one occasion to say ‘. I don’t need their money. Why are people spending so much money on panic buying rather than putting their money in the bank. So now a 20 percent drop in sales below last year will put them in trouble. Well, yes maybe if it is an extended decline. But remember despite the tourists sector still being closed, many Bahamians are shopping at home. And this will be a very deciding factor when the international boarders open; Will Bahamians stay at home longer or will they take risks and venture to Florida and beyond to shop. This will also determine ho w long this country remains Corona free or at least at manageable levels of infection.
The US saw their biggest surge in Corona cases yesterday than since the pandemic began. NY and other states plan to quarantine or limit visitors from hit spits states like Florida and Texas. The highest number of cases are now among the 29-30 age group who are going out to bars and getting in crowded areas, not wearing masks and not practicing soci distancing. Health experts are concerned as cloud of Sarrah dust moves across the US along with an Artic heat wave as it may cause respiratory problems and make some people more susceptible to Corona
A number of restaurants in the YS are closing their doors again after reopening to inside dining and employees got sick with Corona. Some US States are just now enforcing the Social distancing and ‘mask in public’ laws after spikes in Corona cases. The good thing about this country so far is there have been no increase cases thus far as the reopening process progresses. Hopefully the decision to open the boarders will be met I with similar results.
I had the experience of being robbed at gun point. Thee were three. The biggest concern was the one holding the gun to my head was shaking so much no telling what he would do as he was overcome with nervousness or fear. Then as they were leaving he un butted me three or four times until I lay fell to the ground like I was ‘knock out’.’ So if I appear ‘off’ sometimes, it may be brain damage. And the trauma follows you for years. If you find someone looking at you or see someone acting extra friendly you panic and break in cold sweat
After Dorian hit Abaco in September last year, people were saying a strange sickness was going on on parts of that island and also Grand Bahama. A kind of flu that was so painful it made its victims pray for death and also they had a feeling of drowning. The common talks were "they put something in that hurricane." We the FIVE pilots who fly those aircraft into the eyes of hurricanes have tested positive for Corona. Coincidence or conspiracy?
