Their info is really lacklustre I can't get a sense of what's happening. They reported 18 cases a week ago and nothing since. Did those people recover, did noone else get sick, did they perform testing on family and coworkers of those individuals... is the wave over... nothing

If this were a dangerous strain, and I havent seen anything to say it is, it's too late to protect the border. We probably looking for the wrong suspects anyway. That strain has already infiltrated the US and is travelling around with blue eyes now.

The problem with COVID is, dangerous strain or not, our bodies are unique chemical and biological compositions. While 99.5% of people were always fine, even with delta, there's the 0.5% for which this is deadly. To this day nobody in the Bahamas has given us any data on what is likely to put you in the 0.5% at risk. Just this blanket vaccinate everybody campaign. Enough people have been impacted for some study of "us", not the US, to have taken place. I expect government by social media to adjust their statements shortly

I find this extremely troubling. I dont think they understand that there is nothing to get. This focus on squeezing as much as possible out of the public will have a disastrous long term impact, it is not sustainable. They will find in the long run businesses will simply fire more staff or shut down completely. Then they'll most likely come up with a bright idea to tax you at every street light.

Im trying to figure out what her husband have to do with this? He's not in the Ministry of Sports is he?

again?

"*Suggesting that EDI “integration” will also produce greater efficiencies and reduce the cost associated with clearing imports, the Ministry of Finance said: “EDI submissions, while reducing revenue losing errors, are also quicker, which means that the importer can get his goods released by Customs much faster. A submission, which can take days to prepare under UI, can be done in hours through EDI.*"

Customs simply paid for a very bad system that was ill suited to facilitate the processing customs brokers actually have to do. I recall when they first implememted Click2Clear they said *this the way the system works and theyll have to do it this way*... basically. Said at the time that this was backwards design. What Finance is now doing is essentially forcing customs brokers to pay for new software to cover up their badly designed software. Which ultimately means the Bahamian people will see increased import fees due to another poor contract award. bleeding GDP

I dont think people get that OUR research told us we'd make 2m annually, thats OUR research. Theyre currently making 10m annually. That is what the airlines are complaining about. **Even by our OWN estimates the fees are ginormous**

Too many people jumped on the digitization bandwagon post COVID but completely forgot its still about customer service

And just because...

"*Missing teenage girls in Pakistan ran away to meet BTS, police say*"-cnn.com

For the record, if Atlantis ever books BTS I'll run away to see them too.

Unfortunately the public isnt really interested in anything until it's a crisis at which point govt *reacts*. Wait for a story on a tourist who dies swimming in ferix off Abaco or eating contaminated fish or all the fish stock disappearing, you'll have all kind of commentary on *how the govt allow that situation? Who need to resign?* blah blah. Govt loves our ability to be easily distracted and to not focus on our crumbling framework
