The accolades given in your article were well deserved. Pedro was a Bahamian Patriot to the core, and one of the kindest, most intelligent persons, I had the privilege of being friends with. It is admirable that his family continue to carry on his legacy. God bless them all.

It is amusing that a high ranking tourism official make such comments. She may have a valid point, but her time would be better spent advising the government, who have only procured 50,000 of the appx 700,000 doses necessary if our populace is going to receive the two shots required, to get on the same track. Some of those who have received the first shot are due to receive the second shot by end of May. It is doubtful there will be any vaccine available to administer the second shot. They are already talking about "how it is better to wait longer to receive the final dose". At our current rate we will be vaccinating into 2023.

Why should they be allowed to stay in business? Revoke their license

We are scheduled to receive the lowest ranked vaccine on the market, maybe. One must be concerned that if you take the first shot now,will the second dose arrive in time to comply with the 8-12 week time frame.
His nonchalant approach does not instill confidence in any one.

This damage was done in the early nineties by the record storm surge that brought water up on Bay Street and destroyed homes along West Bay Street. It has sat there in that dilapidated state, as one of the first sights visitors see upon arrival into the harbour, for four terms of FNM and two of PLP governments. Discgraceful!
One would have thought that this repair would have coincided with the Arawak Port Development project or the ongoing Port and Bay Street Development projects. Arawak Port is making millions on ships entering the Harbour and should be made to contribute. As for government's failure to do anything for almost thirty years? What else is new?

This is a useless press release. To say that the majority of workers are back to work, but the hotel workers are not is a fallacy. Hotel workers are a huge portion of our workforce. And they are not working. What about straw vendors, Bay Street stores, tour operators, taxi drivers, watersports operators, places like Dolphin Encounters, Air BNB operators, restaurants, bars, gyms. Time to stop talking this foolishness. The facts belie what you try to push off on the people. What a disappointing collage of mis-information, this Headline portrays.

If they contravened the emergency laws, how many were arrested, fined or imprisoned. The videos clearly show police officers, some of them high ranking, in the midst of this "illegal" crowd. They were not arresting anyone. It was more like they were participating. It is events like these that have all of the law abiding citizens under curfew and lockdown. If you are not going to enforce your own laws, why make them up? Is that reducing the spread and its consequences?

I hope the lady recovers from her injuries. Amazing how many cars are out and about, when we are in lockdown.

Not to forget, that the government is not funding or promoting this testing. People are footing the costs, of and making the decision to be tested on their own.

At the rate of twenty thousand tests in seven months(roughly 3,000 per month), it will take us approximately ten years to test our population. I have the greatest respect for Dr. Forbes, and the work that she is doing, but the numbers are pointing a real lack of effort and concern by the government in attacking the testing issue, or formulating a plan to successfully co-exist with the virus and bring our country back to some degree of normalcy.
