Is anyone optimistic enough to think they've actually moved to get/buy more test kits ?
Or are we still dependent on donated kits/supplies?
Didn't Turks Island donate kits also?

sounds just like the straw market or Potters Cay Dock!
Great business model.........

Foulkes talking to employers about maintaining when most in the private sector are talking downsize or exit!
Amazing how out of touch they are. Anyone here expect to ever see a pension from NIB at the rate they're giving it away?

One could say that Minnis himself created the Crisis by a) allowing Bahamians a 3 day Florida shopping trip without a test needed for return, and B) not catching the local Bahamian test being presented by Bahamians upon return within 10 days of the test, aka 9 day shopping trips to Florida.
By contrast Dr. Sands didn't get anyone infected by allowing the 6 on the private plane to enter without a test but self quarantine.
The politics of this is a disgrace. Both sides.

God forbid the Government can't pillage the private sector to pay the Public service!
Private sector is decimated, Layoffs, half salary measures, others on NIB, Closures,
but the voracious Government grumbles on unabated!!

And terrible payout practices.
Added costs to further diminish the economy.
We seem to want to follow all the first world norms but keep both feet firmly planted in the 3rd world.
Simple code compliances would be a good start. Zoning compliances. Construction Code compliance.
The Banks have self preservation well in hand, the Insurance companies know how to deny and stall claims.
Our Economy is in the "polite pillaging" stage but moving forward rapidly.

Visitors using Fake test docs, or returning Bahamians or residents?
The headline raises more questions but being the body of the article only says "people" I have to ask. Perhaps the reporter should have.

Allow unfettered private sector investment in Alt energy. Solar for self consumption.
Installed to Code. Period. Canadian Electrical Code. No need for the convoluted and ever changing political considerations espoused in the Name of self preservation for BEC/BPL by URCA and BPL/BEC themselves.
Reduce the demand on BEC by those who will invest in Energy for themselves, Reduce the burden on the Government. I'd rather subsidize one full school buss than 200 empty ones.
A reduced stress/load on Transmission/Distribution will result. Reduced dependence on foreign currency funded foreign oil.
Government needs to stop their obvious obscuring and convoluting of what should be a very simple situation.

George Meyers applied, no wrong in that, but wrong on the part of the P.M. to be granting favor. If he was minded to grant it, it should have been across the board for all. Herein lie a few of our greatest and most prolific failures: a lack of impartiality, General competence, timeliness (announcements, proclamations, written orders) a lack of follow through and marching orders for the front lines of implementation.
I believe The Minister of tourism is touting border test failures in this very Issue?
The main Government services building in G.B. is closed for the week, due to a lack of forethought and or by a complete omission of health protocols.
Immigration and Customs in disarray, apparently no one gave them new marching orders, they just shut down the building.

So what does the tape of the 3rd in the house have to do with a box of old proceedings?
