So because of your incompetence,and your spur of the moment decisions not only the health of the people is at risk but also you are making sure the economy will never recover. Great job,at the ends looks like Bahamians will be sick and broke
Our beloved politicians probably got a phone call and a metaphorical kick in the butt reminding them that they can try their emotional and spur of the moment decisions to their D- average electorate but not with other countries. Hope they enjoy their eggs in their faces.
Friday afternoon announcing a nationwide lockdown taking effect in a few hours. If the people start panicking again will that be their fault? Really sir,do you know what are you doing? I believe the answer is obvious
Stop flights from the US,and 2 days later reversing that decision. who knows,by Monday maybe you will change your mind again. Is this a game? Keep doing these knee jerk reactions,and soon nobody in the world will care whether you open or close the borders,because nobody will want to come here anyway.
Way too much slackness is correct. I know of at least 3 families who,as soon as the borders opened,rushed to Florida for shopping. But then again with D- average population what do you expect?
Spot on Porcupine. I guess the writer of the editorial has not realized that the B$ is worthless once you leave this country.. You don't believe me? Try to buy anything anywhere in the world with B$ and see what you will get. Although i understand there are couple of flea markets in Florida that used to accept B$. So unless your plan is to supply a whole country with the goods supplied in a flea market your plan is BS.
Keeping the borders closed indefinitely will not solve our problems. No country in the world can survive like this,unless of course North Korea is your ideal society. The Bahamas at this moment does not produce anything,so unless you have US dollars,Euros or any other hard currency, you can not import even food,not to mention gas to put into your car or keep the electricity running. It is nice not to be dependent in only one industry,so if you have any ideas on how to develop other industries i suppose you are free to open any business you may choose.
Covid19 will be around for sometime whether we like it or not. The government had 3 months or maybe more to develop a plan for dealing with it. If their plan is to keep the country closed or close it every time there is an issue,then they are even dumber than I thought. For any other industries to develop, if they develop it will take years,so tourism is what we have at the moment,whether we like foreigners or not. So gentlemen if you want to keep the county closed to ahead. You have all the time you want.
