@LawMan98... where is the politics in stating the fact that the good Dr. did not do something that a good Dr. would, by simply ordering necessary tests and PPE's in the face of an emerging pandemic? He could have done it but didn't and is now saying we need to do more testing? Sands first mistake was not pushing for closing the border AFTER the first covid case was diagnosed, something any sensible non doctor would have suggested! His statements have the stench of sour grapes!
As for politics, just watch and see if his words and actions are not political-- they are in HIS interest and certainly are not in the national interest!
On many occasions I said that Sands showed his incompetence by not proactively ordering more tests from Feb/ March of this year, and when they did order tests they did not order swabs. He communicated more clearly than Minnis, but did not aggressively or creatively address the COVID crisis
This is a distractions as he seeks to put himself forth as the martyr candidate. Real money is behind him to contest Minnis, but in truth, neither is fit to lead this country!
... may I suggest both. Imagine the history of the world without Columbus first setting foot in these islands. We acknowledge our pre-eminence in that accomplishment and the major contributions to knowledge and exploration that resulted, not his personal shortcomings perceived through the lens of 21 century sensibilities!
... and while millionaire residents were flying in to Nassau on private planes, with and without swabs, Bahamians were stranded in foreign countries without help or resources and Campbell said nothing about that injustice. I wish he would continue to shut up!
Bahamians get passionate about the wrong things. Why is Sebastian Campbell not protesting the governments continued financial decimation of the most vulnerable in this country under the guise of fighting COVID-19, local police brutality or the high rate of single parent homes, serial sweet hearting, failed parenting, the pervasive anger in society leading to the murder of so many young men, widespread domestic abuse, obliteration of the middle class by discriminatory government practices, the failure of governments to provide equal opportunities for Bahamians in their own country, the failure of the educational system to properly prepare Bahamian youth for the world ahead, the failure of the church in stemming the tide of evil that assails this country; the rising Chinese influence that has made us slaves in our own country, predatory banking practices and the list goes on and on. Instead he wants to channel his energies into removing a statue that ain't bothering nobody and replace it with people who were also oppressive, victimizers of their own people in many instances?
Using their lunatic logic the only person who should ever have a statue is Jesus Christ, but even then they may have a problem with the statue being painted white!
Whenever one makes decisions based on feelings as opposed to evidence it is possible to do whatever one wants! The government has no evidential basis for is decision making and will pay the price for it!
... that was the obvious and easy part and when that happens it is brought to the attention of the masses (those who were previously unaware), that is why discoveries are usually announced!! A discovery that remains hidden is of no benefit to mankind!
@moncurcool... did electricity exist before Benjamin Franklins kite experiment or did molecules exist before Einstein described Brownian motion or gravitational forces before Newton described them? Did the outer reaches of space exist before telescopes or Hubble?
