Pretty sure that Europe,Canada and the US have not approved the Chinese vaccine…so good luck trying to go to any of those countries if that is what you get vaccinated with.

Yes the article from Israel shows that efficacy of Pfizer in preventing infection has dropped....but more importantly from the same article..."At the same time, protection against hospitalization and serious illness remained strong. From May 2 to June 5, the efficacy rate in preventing hospitalization was 98.2%, compared with 93% from June 6 to July 3. A similar decline in the rate was recorded for the vaccine’s efficiency in preventing serious illness among people who had been inoculated."

Oh? And yet people keep building rain water cisterns

Never ever trust these companies. They only serve their own self-interest.

And yet flights between Nassau and Toronto were full during the months leading up to the withdrawl of flights in January. Granted once Canada put the idiotic and useless 3-day hotel quarantine policy in place the airlines realized what business was available between the islands,mexico and Canada was effectivly dead for the forseeable future.

The honourable minister says "So something is going on there that we don’t quite understand...". Really???? I guess the minister has to be diplomatic and can't really call out the 800lb. gorilla in the room.

Whatever percentage of Royal Caribbeans passengers used to come ashore to Nassau/PI will now be reduced by 90% once this new Royal Beach Club comes on line. There is no way that the cruise line won't be promoting it to the detriment of Nassau and PI and that is 1000% guaranteed.

Covax is an organization, its not the vaccine itself. I'd rather get the Astra Zeneca than the Russian Sputnik vaccine, which even the Russians admit isn't as good as the others.

Pretty sure I read that you need your NIB card. If you don't have a NIB card you need some other form of government issued picture id, like a drivers license.

I would suggest there are more Bahamians not paying their property taxes until the property is sold than foreigners doing so. Most foreigners, especially Americans and Canadians are fearful that, as in their countries, the government would sieze their properties for tax non-payment, whereas Bahamians know that is not the case.
