Unfortunately it seems he has given in and given up. Opening virtually everything when the data clearly shows a need for the opposite will of course have a terrible result.
Probably because the PM knows that infected visitors will now be in country and he must take measures like this in an attempt to hold off community transmission as long as possible.
This decision must have been a desperate last resort. It seems apparent that the need for U.S dollars has overridden the risk of loss of life.
A few dollars will come in but....
As one of the most unhealthy countries in the world we are undoubtedly going to be hit hard!
Community transmission will begin again, out islands will be unable to cope, eventually Nassau wont be able to airlift enough patients.
Local economy will go back into lockdown.
There is no learning to live with this in our country, outside of Nassau it is impossible to provide serious raspatory care to any significant amount of people.
Extremely negligent not to inform people traveling to Grand Bahama that there is virtually no medical care available. Will it be explained that if there are even a few serious cases it will severely impact any medical care needed?
If you have ever been to the proposed site you would have seen it is very unique and you would have noticed that to build the proposed development will require major work to fill the site.
"And what do you want from us?" I assume you must be from the government and if so i want.
A real quick, easy change for Freeport by....
Promotion and ease of set up for small foreign companies and less reliance on mega investments.
liberal, blanket easy access immigration for business owners.
Open, transparent and across the board incentives for those foreign businesses to set up shop and hire local.
"Carnival has submitted an environment impact assessment"
How could this ever be a safe thing for the environment. It will have a terrible impact to the islands environment.
It has somehow received the backing of our environmentalists which is troubling to say the least.
Because the people of Grand Bahama are so desperate for any investment this will undoubtably be given the green light.
If this project follows the norm on the island what will we end up with? Once the land is cleared and filled in and the ocean is dredged and the canals are cut i hope it won't just fizzle out!
