Sunlight? D3? You talking health based on decades of knowledge on viruses and biology. Remember this is a NOVEL virus and we are all idiots who know nothing. Our directive is to follow "the science" and to "live" like zombies. I wonder if the vaccine will cause us to have an insatiable desire to eat brains? LOL.

Our beaches belong to the tourists - you must have missed the memo.

Yoos a Bahamian eh? Sorry to hear that. Ink ya fingah then keep ya mouth shut for 5 years, that's the system.

Unfortunately, the vast majority do not have the intelligence to see the big picture in that way. The statistic near the top of this article saying that about one person per day is dying from the virus currently - means that 365 people will die in a whole year. Wow. Should we kill the remaining 349,635 people by starvation in order to save that 365?

Don't worry too much. I believe that once the U.S. election results are finalized, the virus will magically disappear (regardless of who wins). The new test kits will say so, and people will start dying this winter of pneumonia like they do every year, instead of Covid. Between 40,000 to 70,000 die each year of pneumonia in the USA, but we never wore masks before. Uhm. And Halloween coming up too.

Hopefully the digestive track of the average Bahamian can undergo biological change which will allow it to process the too oft provided food called "plans." If we could eat plans, there would be no hunger in this country.

And where did you learn about Parliamentary democracy? In what sacred book volume does it state that the Speaker of the House should take a shit on the floor of his office because he has no bathroom?

Many interesting comments here. Remember there was an order early on that false information about Covid would be a criminal act, so there is a great restriction therefore on what we can say here in comments legally. It is also important to remember that the larger event going on worldwide (yes, worldwide) is the current election cycle in the USA - and the true cogwheels involved there along with the Covid stuff are, as Speaker Newt Gingrich recently said, "Verboten." See him on Youtube with Harris Faulkner. Finally, don't be fooled by her apology which followed a few days later. It is also quite amazing that the coverage of the source of this virus is non-existent. People's minds have been programmed to ignore the source but yet somehow appear concerned at the same time.

You have swallowed the story put out for public consumption. They are the most vulnerable. It's hard to really come to grips with that fact until you find yourself behind metal bars and know that you MAY get something to eat in the next 48 hours, or you may not. Salty water is bad for the kidneys too, by the way. Where will your fresh water come from? You kinda have to visualize it. Many cannot, and are just shocked by the reality when it besets them.

Tal this is the most sensible thing you have ever written on here. I'm shaking my head once, twice, three times, heck - my brain waves are now made of liquid crashing against the shoreline of my skull.

There is an old saying that you can judge a society by how it treats its most vulnerable (Gandhi). We treat our most vulnerable (prisoners) horribly and rank in the top ten worst in the world as far as prisons go. We once ranked number one on some poll, but I never believed that because nobody can beat out Turkey.

A Christian society? Where are the pastors dealing with the situation at the prison? Oh yeah, quite a number "go there" some Sundays to show their face - but can anyone name right now 5 pastors that go there? Have you ever heard any of them say anything against the government's policies there? Have there been any marches? Do we even have a publicly available list of prisoners, or can people who don't have close family and friends simply be taken from the streets and disappear? Anything from the Christian Council that we all know actually runs this country much like the "Council of Guardians" does in Iran?

We all remember about ten years ago when a photo was somehow snuck out of the prison showing a man naked and bloody on a cement floor in the prison and the outcry about it was mainly "How did that photo get out?", instead of concern and questioning about what the photo actually presented.

Everyone knows about this. The Vaseline jokes are common. It is our most widely known secret. A fact that people simultaneously know and deny - quite a mental skill actually.

At the heart of the issue, however, is that it teaches our youth what we truly believe and value as a society. People have no innate value. People are not valuable simply because they are people. They only have value if they make a certain amount of money, or wear their seatbelts, or do whatever the government and the churches require of them. Otherwise, their birth certificates which indicate their status as a child of God are "lost." They are no longer children of God, but instead are animals placed in cages and treated much worse than those at any four-legged animal shelter.

So when an angry upset youth has reached his (or her) boiling point, and finds himself behind a gun with his finger on the trigger and is aiming at his adversary - is he thinking and realizing that he is about to kill a human being, a child of God, his brother in Christ??? NO. He is only about to kill another worthless animal just like he will be in a few weeks' time after the judge's hammer falls.

""The treaty and the GBPA have proved resilient to challenges both legal and extra-judicial, together with gratuitous attacks in the media, but the resulting environment has prevented the GBPA or its business partners from developing anything like the SEZs that now thrive across the world.""

True dat !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (aka "real talks")

Reverse Racism has reversed the course of Freeport's headway. It has for decades now been moving backward, and is now off the rails.

The refusal of successive governments to re-open the Princess Road in front of the long closed casino/hotel complex accompanied by their sycophant supporters suggesting "it would make no difference", is a very big part of the problem. Not only is it an actual part of the problem, but also it creates an atmosphere of dereliction, failed responsibility, and an overall sense of "nothing can be done" or "if anything was done, it wouldn't matter".

The number of suicides on that island over the past 20 years is another telling indicator.
