Hey ! they have proven capable of photocopying some ideas from other places. A one-year work visa in which a foreigner comes here for a year and pays rent and spends money for nothing probably should have been thought up a decade ago but hey !!

Nothing like being a Bahamian. Nothing like being part of a culture that rags on foreigners all day and night. Rags on Americans for being a bunch of reckless COVID deniers. Begging the Bahamian Government to close the borders and stop them, dirty disease-infested US money-spending tourists from coming into our country......but oooops. Now we know some important Bahamian has actually got the disease and he wants to fly over there to America and use their healthcare system....... that's OK hey ?!! The sad thing is that it is these very politicians that foment the xenophobia of foreigners in this country. Everyone just goes along and pretends the hypocrisy doesn't apply to them.

You all forget that the OPM is closed due to potential contamination by the Wuhan Flu and possible contact has forced the PM to self-quarantine. If the Prime Minister can not keep this virus from entering his own workspace. A doctor, a self-proclaimed health care expert and all of the self-righteous drivel about acting responsibly, how on earth does anyone expect the wider population to prevent the spread of this disease. And still, no one can answer the question - what next ? We lock down even more violently than before. We come out of lockdown and the disease spreads again. We lockdown again. We come out and the disease spreads again. You do the same thing over and over again with the same result means you are nothing but a stupid fool

Am pretty sure in WW2 the government told all the fit healthy people in the country to go off and die for their country, to save our freedom and way of life. These days all the fit and healthy people have to lockdown to destroy our freedom and way of life. What a bunch of pussies we have all become

It's not so difficult to keep up with these clowns. Any store owner with half a brain could have one piece of 2x4 for sale in the shop window. Would probably take a week for all the "Karens" to be bitching loudly enough for "the medical experts" to come up with some other mind-numbing "scientific" reason to strangle the life out of the economy

Rumor has it that the new Berry Island and Eleuthera cases were caused by a traveling BPL worker. If this is true, between that, the above and the outbreaks at several other government-managed facilities, and the fact that the government conspired with Bahamasair to provide dirt cheap plane tickets for untested travelers to go to Miami and back for the weekend - we really are all staying at home for nothing. They threaten us with fines, they got us all pointing fingers at tourists for not wearing masks and calling each other careless and stupid........for what ?! We are all doing what we are told to do whilst the government spreads this disease around for us. We have a bunch of tyrannical nitwits running the show and we are the stupid ones for presuming they are going to do anything but destroy this country in the process.

Papa Doc still thinks he can defeat a microscopic airborne pathogen by bullying us all into submitting to a bunch of unnatural rules that he made up and changes after staring into his cornflakes every morning. Strangle our economy, open it back up completely for two weeks, and then strangle it even harder. Suspending the constitution and locking everyone down and then pandering to a tiny few (that wanted to go shopping in Miami) because he didn't want to be seen as "unconstitutional" ? Telling us we must lock down till all the CV19 was gone and then telling us we must open up to the most infectious population in the world because we have no financial choice! At what point do we all ask ourselves whether this man has the vaguest idea what he is doing ?? At what point do we all recognize that we need to take personal responsibility for our own health and if some fools want to have a party at the beach. Let them, and just stay the flock away from those persons and practice your own preventive measures based on your own personal evaluation of the risk. Because this mass experiment of locking us all down is clearly not working at all and if we keep it up we are going to be a bunch of worthless bums on the street....and then we get the virus anyway

We need to stay resolute !!?? What a joke !! We are all locked down and on curfew and the vast majority are doing whatever we are told. Stay home, can't work, can work, can't work, can't go to the beach, can go to the beach, can't walk your dog, can't go to the gym, can only go to the food store on Wednesday if your name starts with "F"..............and in the meantime, whilst we are all committed to "flattening the curve" our glorious Papa Doc has decided six months in .... to do something about adding some more beds because the ER is full up with old people that aren't sick. Good luck with getting re-elected FNM. We are rated second-worst in the world for our Wuhan Virus response. Anywhere else in the world the PM would be stepping down for such catastrophic failures but nope.... in the Bahamas, the PM gets to keep his sole emergency powers and we the people must stay resolute. So let us stay resolute about our glorious one-man-disaster-enhancing-band ?

These are exactly the people who are being killed by the Wuhan Flu. Elderly with co-morbidity. How the whole lot of them haven't been infected already is remarkable given the lack of protection hey must have sitting in the ER.....taking up the beds required to treat people that come in with the virus. What a circus our Papa Doc resides over.

Thank you and Amen. Too many people around here think they can ignore ALL responsibility for their own personal health year after year - and now beg and pray to their lord to have a smug politician legislate a natural pandemic out of existence. You all know who you are. The ones crying the loudest for lockdown. You have all had six months to lose weight and get your immune system firing on all cylinders instead of depending on ignorant and politicized rules and regulations to stop a microscopic virus from entering your life
