The top officials in the Bahamian government, those in charge of the Health Ministry, the PM, should admit their failure and do the decent thing: resign. The present situation is nothing less than a dereliction of duty, inadequate planning, and the willful endangering of Bahamian lives. The present situation is inexcusable, no matter what side of the aisle you stand on.

I agree on the food store access. Lockdowns don't work when people do not abide by, or understand why, we all must participate responsibly. That is what we are seeing from Grand Bahama. Merely a delayed response to stupidity.

Stock up now brotherman. This is the opportunity of a lifetime. The country's largestt family fortunes began by selling illicit booze. Is this correct? Yes, or no?

I didn't mean Minnis. I meant the message just above.

The most important thing for us to do now, is to kill the messenger, as we must, and always have done.

The Bahamas is not likely to "recover" in any manner, in our lifetimes. This is the sad reality that remains unspoken. The human, natural, and financial resources at our disposal are handicapped, dwindling or nonexistent. The idea that "we are on our own" has never been more apt. There is nothing the government, Minnis, or any other "savior" can do for us now that has not already been done. Once we accept this reality, we may have a chance at survival. Listening to those in supposed authority will do nothing to further us along forward, upward, nor onward. The true costs of allowing education to forever take a backseat in this country will now come back to haunt us in ways, once unimaginable.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. What's new?

And still no patriotic demand to ban the export of conch? Our kids may not even have it to eat, let alone be able to sell it to our locals and hotels. All for the greed of money. How it can blind even common decency.

We have no leadership. Less vision
And even less honesty. Mr. Smith may be good at something. He should find a job doing that thing. The Bahamas deserves better than the wholly inept leadership now at the helm.

You are right.
