The Ministry of Health published 10 cases as the number for yesterday. Yet the PHA says 23 in Sandilands alone? Aren't these body's a part of the same Ministry? So why the discrepancy? Is it 10. 23. Or 10 plus 23. At least have the courtesy of keeping the numbers correct, since our lockdown lengths and future for survival are predicated by them PLEASE.

The lock down in Grand Bahama did not achieve anything. The number of cases increased and what will happen this Friday when the lockdown expires? Locking down the country will not resolve anything. Cases may go down in some areas but to keep it that way we will have to be locked down until a vaccine is available. This country will not survive continuous lockdowns, which do nothing to cure the virus or change the attitudes of those who disobey safety rules. The police need to arrest people. Otherwise the parties, no masks, and close physical contact will continue. Though I am not an expert, I am finding it hard to find other countries who are in complete lockdown like us. How us it that they are managing both a business environment and trying to control the virus while our solution is lockdown?

Grand Bahama cases have increased while under lockdown. So that obviously is not working. Are we going to stay in lockdown until there is a vaccine? Seems likely. We open up and shut down like a yo yo. The virus will still be here after two weeks. After four weeks. So will we open just to go back into lockdown? We will never get out of the financial hole we are digging now.

A totally useless process. A person travelling is travelling Friday. Gets tested Monday prior to the departure Friday. Test results come back on Wednesday saying you were negative on Monday. Meanwhile you can contract the virus Tue. Wed. Thur. and come in to the country with a negative test, with a full blown virus. What did the testing accomplish?

One has to ask. How is any patient admitted to a public ward at the hospital, where multiple patients are confined, not tested for the covid 19 virus, in light of the seriousness of the spread. This has been highlighted in the weekly updates by the minister, and all the talk of procedures, protocols, and best practices seem to not be implemented at the governments largest health facility. It should have long ago been made mandatory that any patient, at any hospital on the country, be tested prior to placement in a hospital ward. What happens when this is not done is painfully evident.

Just found out that Road Traffic Dept. Is opening tomorrow April 20 with a new system for the licensing of vehicles and renewal of drivers licenses. The 20th and 21st are reserved for March customers who did not get theirs completed last month. So we now have a new system and 7working days to license all of April's vehicles. They are working seven hours a day, and will license, in my view, what has to be in the area of 10 - 15 thousand vehicles ? That's 2,000 a day and roughly 300 per hour. Must be some majic s--t they invented with this new system. And this is all happening at month end and Govt. Payday? Plenty people will get left out. Dialed 311 to find out whether any decisions have been made regarding the undoubted situation of unlicensed vehicles, and the officer very nicely told me that if you car is not licensed park it. If you drive it you will be ticketed. Another disaster in the making.

No excuse for thieves. Nor dumbasses, now that all Bahamians have been categorized as such. I guess this must also include the bloggers who so categorize.

Another crock of BS. Shopping at super value every week. Have my own bags. Sometimes security asks for my receipt. Other times not or no security. Forgot my bags once and they had no plastic or any kind of bags to sell. I notice there is an absence of packing boys since this new bag policy. Are they stealing too? Also notice an increase in prices as well. A pound of rib eye delmonico, for example is selling at 27$ per lb. The same steak of higher quality is 19$ at Fresh Markets. Beef is duty free. More smoke and mirrors to hide the real picture. Government is afraid to crack down on big businessess like Super Value.

Agreed. The fact that they lost their non-profit status in 2016, by not filing the requisite government returns, casts a showdown of doubt over their organization almost from inception. What amazes me is how this group was allowed to exist without government sanction as being "non profit" for such a long time.

We will put up tents in February and hurricane season begins in June. Great planning. What is this? A bunch of beaurocrats mumbling on with nonsense. We better pray that no major hurricane hits Grand Bahama, Abaco, or New Providence this year. Only divine intervention can protect us, not this dis-organized bunch.
