What has the first 100+ thousand dollars thrown at BAMSI gotten us? nothing!

So basically we will be buying reusable masks. Have they issued any guidance as to how to clean and sterilize these?

One lock down spung on the population without notice followed shortly by another longer lock down. What could go wrong? I understand the need for lock downs to prevent the spread but, the panic this has caused by poor implementation and the mass crowds outside of stores now is more harmful than the situation that was going on before.

Can't agree more.

If we can't get a government to get our civil service under control, stop its geowrh, make it actually function, reduce red tape we cannot correct our downfall. The civil service is choking the life out of the private sector. Stiffiling growth, increasing costs, and making regulation after regulation that only the legitimate business have to follow.

Prior how? It was implemented with about 1 weeks warning with haphazard crash courses from people who didn't understand the system themselves and was only in Abaco a meer weeks before the storm hit. The program was at that time full of bugs and glitches so please enlighten us when this acquaintance should have happened?

lol you do not just get a bond. If it was only that simple. You have to get one from a bank or some insurance companies issue them. Then you have to go back and forth between customs and the treasury department filling out paperwork getting things stamped etc. etc. It can take weeks to get sorted. Oh pray the only person who can do it has not stepped out or gone to pickup their children.

Good idea! We move Rum Cay and San Salvador to South Florida which on avg is lower than the Bahamas.but it will be inland so that is better.

There is not one piece of land in the Bahamas that is not considered coastal. Are they going to move Nassau as well? Bay street floods with a bad north easter and the whole island floods every time a shower of rain passes over. This is foolish talk and not based on the realities of the geographic makeup of our islands. What next no hotels on the water front? I guess we better tear down Atlantis and Baha Mar. The sea is what we have to sell and unfortunately we must be close to it. If this is not the new norm a storm like this is a once in a lifetime event.

On Is it time to move Marsh Harbour?
