Too many D-

She may not even know who the father is?

Too often it's difficult for a medical doctor to decide what's medically urgent without a physical examination of the patient. A medical doctor who is prevented from physically examining a patient is all too often seriously handicapped in coming up with the right diagnosis and treatment plan to avoid a medical emergency situation developing that may seriously threaten the patient's life. That's just a plain simple fact taught day one in any med school worth attending as a medical student.

> Desmond Bannister said: “We have to make it easier for people to pay, and take away a lot of the stress they are feeling nowadays. It’s very interesting. Sebas [Bastian, the Island Luck owner], sent me information today that his system permits people to pay their utility bills."

The Minnis-led FNM government is in bed with the criminal thug Sebas Bastian and no doubt the very incompetent Desmond Bannister will be pushing for BPL to adopt Bastian's bill payment system. Birds of a feather do indeed flock together!

> Carl Bethel QC told Tribune Business that the government will change part of the Emergency Powers (Special Provisions) Order 2020 to make clear that *the near-90 day exemption from paying due life and health insurance premiums applies only to those who cannot do so online.*

It seems the government caved to the greedy cartel of health insurers. Obviously Minnis and Bethel both got kicked in their tiny rat sized nuts by some of the wealthiest Bahamians who have made handsome fortunes over many years from their ownership stakes in local health insurance enterprises.

I suspect many people who were previously able to pay their health insurance premiums online will no longer able to do so for one reason or another.

Which is precisely the reason we cannot accept these ships being in our territorial waters or give refuge to their foreign crew and other persons on board them who are either known to be infected by the Red China Virus or are likely infected by it but not yet showing symptoms.

Fake news?

@BahamaPundit above is right on this one. If a ship was registered in the US and carrying a group of terrorists with a detonable atomic bomb, you can be rest assured it would not be allowed to dock at any US seaport. Minnis and D'Aguilar need to recognize, as the US apparently does, that the stranded people on those ships infected with the Red China Virus are the equivalent of a detonable atomic bomb that could easily spread the virus and at the same time wipe out a fragile healthcare system. And I can't think of a more fragile healthcare system than the one our small nation has right now.

To reiterate, If Minnis and D'Aguilar assume any responsibility for the people on these ships, after they have been rejected by all of America, then we know full well that our elected officials don't give a damn about the safety and well-being of Bahamians.

Spot on!

And to add insult to injury, these states of the US with seaports, i.e. Florida, Georgia and South Carolina, along with the US Coast Guard for the Southeastern US, are all claiming they don't have the resources to cope with this problem of persons infected with Covid-19 stranded at sea, yet they would have the world believe the Bahamas has adequate resources to contain the risks and treat the very ill. If Minnis and D'Aguilar assume any responsibility for the people on these ships, after they have been rejected by all of America, then we know full well that our elected officials don't give a damn about the safety and well-being of Bahamians.

@John - You just have to keep playing that tired 'ole race card over and over again, don't you?
