This man is drunk with power. He fancies himself to be running a country full of preschool kids and he’s their little teacher that gets to spank them when they misbehave. While he’s playing control games the economy is shot and going to hell in a hand basket and because his government has no bailout plan he can only focus on playing mind games with a virus that 99.9% of us never had and likely won’t get unless her proceeds with his stupid plan to allow the tourist to bring it and then he gets to start all over again locking us down and playing preschool. Where is a general election when you need one????
if this goes through, our population will increase overnight by the thousands. Here comes very anchor baby born to Jamaicans, Haitians, Americans, etc and living all over the world for their papers. The judge has opened a pandora's box with this ruling and I smell an agenda. What worries me is the AG is so weak. Hasn't been too successful against Fred Smith and his kind. Mr. Munroe will eat him alive on Appeal. The PM has to appoint someone with sense to deal with this - pronto!
It’s bad when you have to plead with a Government to let you reopen so that you won’t go belly up. It’s like they are blind and cannot see. What kills me is 99.99% of us won’t ever get Covid but get to stand helplessly by and watch the economy tank.
This curbside purchase of clothing is totally foolish. I recently tried shopping for an article of clothing and was told to go online and look at the item and the store owner would meet me outside with the item I picked. Needless to say, it was impossibly to just look at the item to determine if it would fit and the sales clerk refused to let me inside to try it on. I ended up driving away in frustration and tried another store that actually let me inside. Although I didn’t purchase an item it definitely was easier to touch and actually try the clothing. I just wonder whose bright idea it was to allow clothing stores to sell only on the curbside. The first store clerk appeared to be afraid and frustrated. The second clearly threw caution to the wind. People doing what they have to do including breaking the law to make a dollar. I agree that the curbside clothing sales cannot work. Why pay for brick and mortar and hold thousands of dollars in stock just to have someone sound outside and purchase. It’s foolish.
I have never seen anything so confusing. The first covid case shows up around March 20 and the whole country is put on lockdown. So how is it you have a whole person die from covid and it takes you almost 2 months to lock a small tightly knit island down? I don’t get the rationale. I agree with the resident who said the people who have it will still have it in two weeks. It obviously took a month for the first case after the lady’s death to show up so what is a two week lockdown stopping? I agree that they need to keep testing unless they running out of test kits and don’t want to admit it.
And to think he’s getting his full salary at the end of this month which will allow him to pay his bills and purchase groceries while the rest of us mere mortals get to depend on a cheque from NIB that will barely cover either.
I agree. I think going forward businesses should find a way to incorporate online shopping. Went to Kelly’s today and the shoppers’ trolleys were full of microwaves, pots and pans. Bahamians are not broke. They are bored and for that reason will continue to shop for non essential items like food and clothing. Imagine if they had the option of shopping online from the comfort of their homes.
Dr Sands lies standing up. He said they were prepared for the virus but yet when that poor lady in Bimini got it there were no emergency measures in place to bring her to Nassau resulting in her death. Then he announces weeks later that they now have emergency containers to transport civics patients. Wait a minute. Shouldn’t this have been in place before the first case showed up? I truly believe they are not giving us the full story and a lot is being hidden and covered up with press releases and briefings under pretense of being prepared when truly they are just winging it and haven’t got a clue what to do.
I’ll bet the first sermon is ‘God told me to tell you that if 10 people sow a $500 seed Carona will not harm you’ and 10 fools will go running and put it in the offering pan. Mission accomplished!!!
