It is totally unfare that hotel employees were considered safe for work with the $15.00 Covid-19 Rapid Antigen weekly test, but Minnis is now having other employers demand staff take an RT-PCR test typically costing more than $100 per test!
Seems like the PM received marching orders from Michael Scott's hue.
If shantytown residents get away with this nonsense and services in their communities are not shut off, every Bahamian with a light bulb should have them burning 24/7.
@ tribanon......Understood, well and good. However, when children infect parents causing them to lose income by not being able to work or GOD forbid die due to Covid, who will take responsibility for the children's wellbeing? Government? (NOT)
There is no easy solution. However, obviously, sticking our heads in the sand and pretending all is well is just plain s-t-u-p-i-d!
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and yet children were allowed back in schools to infect each other and spread the virus to family members!
The government isn't serious. As usual, they're talking out of their mouth and hip at the same time and doing the exact opposite with their actions.
Now infections are forcing schools to shut down immediately causing confusion and frustration among parents that suddenly have to find emergency daycare for children.
Had pig-headed minister of education Commandant Llyod listened to my common sense warning that schooling children would inevitably cause another Covid wave, and closed schools, parents would have been able to plan daycare for their children in advance.
What is the "real" harm of closing schools and children missing 1 year of schooling?
Hypothetically, If schools were opened throughout the pandemic and 100% of children miraculously passed with A+ averages, where would these children go after graduation? Regardless of the bullshyt government feeds us, the economy is totally stagnated, unemployment is 40%+ and 90% of the new graduates have absolutely no chance of finding employment anyhow.
The Bahamas educational system simply does not have the resources of U.S. school systems. We CANNOT effectively implement social distancing protocols in schools.
Close schools, roll back curfew to 8:pm, and limit the number of people allowed on beaches and gatherings.
Anyone with minimal common sense would have expected this to happen. I repeatedly warned here that Covid outbreaks in schools were inevitable!
Regardless of all the government warnings about people gathering in large numbers, the current surge in the country is heavily caused by children. The most dangerous part is, they're only just now finding children with symptoms when **most children are asymptomatic carriers of the virus to parents and family members.**
Pig-headed Commandant Jeff Lyod was too arrogant to heed my warnings, now schools have to close exactly as I suggested they do in the first place but with the added twists of out of control infections, hospitals overrun with Covid patients, the U.S. adding us to their no travel list of countries and the threat of a slowdown in tourism and another disruption to the economy.
Opening schools was an asinine move with highly predictable results. Let's see what the smart-ass, dumb, geniuses, do now!
Only a government can come to the conclusion that it's perfectly safe to have 1000's of children intermingling in schools every day, but totally dangerous to have gatherings of 100 people!
Without any doubt, this is the best thing to have happened in our country for decades! If properly coupled with sound immigration policing, 1000's of residents will benefit in every aspect of life.
This should set a precedence for moving forward throughout the Bahamas. Illegals unsustainable population growth could easily be the downfall of us all.
