Bingo!

And you unwittingly help them escape accountability everytime you post to this website one of your comments loaded with nothing but political rhetoric.

And what do you think of Xi Jinping whose ruthless and evil communist regime we have to thank for the spread of the Red China Virus around the world? Or would you prefer to simply blame Trump for that too!

Whereas the US government can be coy and misleading at times, propaganda and misinformation are the hallmarks of the evil and ruthless Xi Jinping led communist regime.

You do of course realise that your remarks here pre-suppose a quid-pro-quo arrangement was all along in place and that now you're calling Sands' lame excuse for allowing the two Americans to disembark their private plane nothing but a bald faced lie.

Test results that are more than three days old are completely meaningless and should be discarded from the total number tested. Both Sands and Minnis know this.

It seems Sands and Minnis have finally come to the realisation that the economic death of our country is no longer worth the effort of trying to flatten the curve of serious Covid-19 cases. Looks like we may soon be adopting the so called "herd approach" that Sweden decided to go with from day one nothwithstanding that doing so caused a higher number of deaths from Covid-19.

With 30+ million Americans now unemployed in the US, even most states in the US are now beginning to realise the so called 'economy shut-down cure' may ultimately produce more deaths in the long term than the deaths caused by the virus itself. And so far The Bahamas has simply been mirroring whatever the US has done to the extent possible given its lack of resources.

The Red China Virus will over time, and until an effective vaccine is developed, kill many of the more vulnerable in our society no matter what is done; especially once our country is re-opened to tourists. And the development of an effective vaccine could be years away. Meanwhile big-pharma the world over is hurriedly producing a myriad of less effective and potentially dangerous medicines and medical treatments in an effort to capitalize on what they consider to be a red hot market driven by fear. And many of these new medicines and treatments are likely to be very costly and only made available to those who can afford them. Oh well, it is what it is.

I don't recollect reading anywhere in our Constitution that our guaranteed civil rights and liberties only apply to those of us who are fortunate enough to have foreign nationality and be very wealthy. And of course Minnis has chosen to remain hidden under the dress that he has Sands wearing in this matter, presumably until he (Minnis) can cook up his own cock and bull explanation.

They were not Bahamians. They are apparently two wealthy Americans who hold permanent resident status in The Bahamas, and they arrived with the diagnostic test kits they were donating on a private plane that they paid for. They were allowed to disembark the plane notwithstanding the travel restrictions in place in what certainly appears to have been a quid-pro-quo arrangement with The Minnis-led FNM government. Our government got the test kits and the two wealthy Americans were allowed to re-enter The Bahamas notwithstanding the Minnis ordered travel restrictions in place.

As much as many of us despise Davis, most of us will admit he's right on this particular matter. There does indeed seem to be one set of flexible and loose orders and rules for the privileged few who have plenty of money, and an entirely different set of rigid and harshly restrictive orders and rules for the rest of us who are not so lucky to be rich. And that simply cannot be right or fair in any way at all !!
