Brave is proving more and more almost on a daily bases that he is a total idiot!
Thank GOD the "PLP dancers" with this jackelrass in power are not in control of the country at this critical time.
Actually, based on evidence and time timelines of what happened in Italy and France, for some unknown reasons the PM is moving too slowly and doing too little too late to have a maximum flattening effect on the virus.
If we didn't have 20,000+ blue-collar ex-pats repatriating USD every day, our hard currency reserves would have been in a much healthier position to withstand this unprecedented shock!
When the coronavirus immerges from its incubation stage shortly in the Bahamas, Illegal Haitians will be the first to overwhelm our health care services and Bahamians will be unable to get medical care.
We always knew it would take a serious hurricane and virus epidemic to resolve the illegal Haitian invasion problem.
One of the reasons the Water and Sewerage Corporation provides water at a loss is because of standpipes (pumps) in low-income areas dispensing unlimited free water, which are allowed to be mindbogglingly abused by people that can be seen either leaving the faucet taps running and/or incurring huge wastage while filling too small-mouthed containers and worst of all Haitians collecting 50-gallon drums of free potable water at 3 to 4 AM which they then bottle and sell! to an unsuspecting public.
Mr. Bannister needs to get off his bad foot and begin enforcing the laws of the country!!!!!!!
**which idiot genius is responsible for this asinine factless editorial?**
Firstly, Health Minister Dr. Duane Sands saying the country expects a worst-case scenario of 400 cases of coronavirus, and that it would take a considerable period of time is totally, absolutely incorrect, irresponsible, and not based on a shred of scientific data!. Actually, – if you look at how the virus has affected Italy, weeks had passed since a first case before minimal measures were put in place by the government to restrict movement were put in place, and the result of this half stepping measure by the Italian government proved an unimaginable devastating failure and nightmare of epic proportions. The end result being the shut down of the entire country with a population of 60 million people.
The Bahamas can either learn from Italy's fatal mistakes, bite the bullet now and institute a "controlled" shut down of the country for 30 days to allow the virus to run its course, or we can play the normal idiotic, stupid political "wait until its too late" games and allow the virus to overwhelm us, resulting in the U.S. declaring us a "no go destination" due to unchecked Covid19 as they have done with the E.U.
This is a total no-brainer even for Christie and Ingraham. Let's see what our elected geniuses conclude.
Someone finally made President Trump understand the magnitude of this pandemic causing him to make the hard decision to ban travel from Europe due to the unprecedented spread of the Covid19 virus.
The Bahamas should have nothing to think about! Forget about short term financial losses and focus on the ramifications and unimaginable losses if we allow Europeans to infect the entire tourist industry for the longterm.
America has sensibly heeded the CDC travel warnings to Europe and took a further step by blocking Europeans from infecting the country by entering the U.S.
The Bahamas do not need to expose ourselves to this or any cruise ships, Europeans, and should include Americans until they get a handle of how severe Covid19 is in the U.S.

The Bahamas better stop pussyfooting around and make the hard decision to shut the country down and take a "controlled" short term financial loss.
Alternatively, Covid19 will very soon FORCE an uncontrolled long term shut down with devastating financial losses!
Italy is a proven disaster scenario that we too will suffer if drastic proactive steps are not taken **now.**

Why isn't the Bahamas following the U.S. in what should be seen as a common-sense approach to this deadly contagion?
