No testing for domestic flights/travel because,
we don't have enough test kits or swabs.
No testing for international arrivals because,
We don't have enough test kits and
tourists ain't gonna go test themselves to come here.

When he speaks of the wealthy and connected, hmm, he is referring to himself right?
Bridging the gap of economic equality for the individual is achieved through his own efforts,
and he stands the best chance when political patronage and connection is not the primary way to achieve a desired result.
And yes, Gravy Davis has a ring of truth to it.........
Government handouts under the guise of Urban renewal (insert Version # here) has only helped create social and economic inequality and state dependency in the Bahamas. We all know the handout requires political allegiance. (this is true for both parties, but to give credit where it is due, the PLP initiated the public dependency on political masters.
Joe blow is correct above also.

We do not have a premium high end position to maintain and we are already over diluted.
Every offset, subsidy to every airline and cruise line is a dilution.
Every tourist rebate and discount is a dilution.
reduced capacities and social distancing rules will further dilute earnings.
It appears they are holding out for tourism to be the salvation of the economy.. Big mistake.

I understand the initial reaction, possibly over-reaction. But at some point you back up and adjust, retain the sensible, discard the pointless. Not so with this bunch. Keep driving towards the cliff. compounding error on error, especially in the written orders.
Kinda like burning down the village to keep it safe from the attacker.
The ban on face mask import is ludicrous. They are called N95 because they filter 95% of particulate matter. Medical N95's also filter fluids.
Cotton masks do not. Calling mask making an industry is incongruous.
I applaud the makers no doubt, and the face shield makers, but if we are all required to wear them it should be any and all masks domestic or imported are good to go.
We would need 400,000 masks made eventually, and them some.
Has the government looked at the import quantities for N95 paper masks for 2017, 2018? 2019? domestic cotton mask production will not replace that use.

You will be in quarantine while the tourists enjoy the beaches......
Has anyone on Bay St taken any time during these curfews and lockdowns to freshen up or refurb their stores? Has the Government taken the opportunity to pressure wash the sidewalks, effect repairs to sidewalks etc?
I mean, you don't just shut it down walkaway and return 3 months later.......
Personally I think we are in for a very slow restart.

I am 45 pages into the 111 page tourism reopening recommendation doc, only one thing to say: It will never fly. 90% of it. Costs will be onerous, the protocols are onerous, and different for each industry or market space. A lazy document. Cut and Pasted from each association/consulted group polled. Simplify it. trim it down to what works. Masks. Personal hygiene. Social distancing where possible. (impossible in aircraft unless you are removing 2/3 of the seats or more. Tickets will be $2500 ea. either way.

Ha ! Doing the best we can with whatever we can borrow!
I also question best, setting the bar pretty damn low......

Audit them all. That aught to land half of them in jail for embezzlement, and wake up the sheep who fund them.
At public expense.

No backbone. Either he represents his constituents or he is really representing himself.
His call, but I hope his supports are paying attention.
