None of our ports or islands anywhere in the Bahamas should be opened to the cruise ship companies **until** a tried and tested effective vaccine for covid-19 has been developed and all passengers and crew members on each cruise ship (without exception) are required to show satisfactory proof of inoculation before disembarking the ship and gaining entry to our country. And the same must apply to all visitors who arrive by air travel.

...ditto that....

You're obviously happy to have yet another essentially useless committee appointed among the many others that have been created by Minnis since May 2017. The Economic Recovery Committee should have been made up of no more than seven very talented, highly experienced, hardworking and successful businessmen/women. Instead Minnis creates a hodge podge committee of nearly twenty individuals, many of whom are beholden to the narrow subset of interests they already represent. Where's the common sense?

Probably a bigger fraction of our population infected, comparatively speaking. Also, while Italy may have a much greater percentage of senior citizens, the Bahamas has way more unhealthy people across all age groups. I think you misunderstood my point about Bahamians possibly preferring to think they have a severe case of the flu as opposed to covid-19 in order to justify not going to a healthcare facility because of their fear of catching the Red China Virus at such a facility.

We don't all have a government job that comes with generous pay and benefits no matter what transpires. There are many of us 'Peters' being robbed to keep the government employed 'Pauls' living in the non-productive lifestyle they've very much grown accustomed to. You sound like one of the 'Pauls' content to be living off of other people's money whether it be from taxes collected and/or more borrowings that increase our already unsustainable national debt. And you certainly seem to be enjoying more than most that long paid vacation you're now receiving.

But surely you must agree that it's Donald Trump's fault whenever our lights go out!

The weekend total lockdowns can no longer be justified as a legitimate measure to help slow the spread of the Red China Virus and are therefore now an unnecessary infringement of the civil liberties (rights and freedoms) guaranteed by our Constitution. Our elected representatives were never empowered by our Constitution or at the people's ballot box to select one of 'their own' as a type of monarch or other supreme ruler with the power to transform our country into a de facto police state for an indefinite period of time. I might add a police state in which our police, defense force and courts are all being used in a very punitive and wrongful way to enforce what can only be described as seemingly endless weekends of martial law.

Tyranny all too easily often comes along whenever extraordinary powers are allowed to unnecessarily remain in the hands of any one individual for too long a period of time, especially an individual who may be prone to becoming addicted to such powers and abusing them.
