Imbecilic followers of US protesters throwing down statues. Columbus is a part of our history like it or not. It is possible to celebrate both holidays together, after all this nation only has made up heroes! The real heroes have been relegated to the dustbin of history!
Actually failing to prepare for and then not passing exams is what can ruin a child future. We have decades of failed students without ever having had COVID-19!
Are you aware that 80% of those infected will have NO symptoms? Did you realize how much Bahamians were mixing up with mistakes made by gov't with panic shopping etc. Most in the capital have probably already been exposed and have some immunity against a second wave of infections.
We are also foolishly not testing for antibodies to assess vulnerability to a second wave, but any major surges will most likely occur in the family islands.
... the church is simply like school my friend, lessons are being taught there, but it is up to the individual to make a choice and apply what is taught. Sitting in class does not make a student smart or educated!
The most sensible way to re-open churches for services is to have outdoor services. The ability to transmit the virus is significantly lower outdoors especially if attendants continue to wear masks and are spaced 6 feet apart! Breeze can carry away any possible viruses expelled through singing or preaching outdoors, unlike having a service in a closed room.
The police are the products of a society filled with broken homes, a dysfunctional educational system, widespread anger and systemic ignorance where no one respects the law or others. Do we really expect better??
When you give power to an angry, unsocialized bully who lacks the ability to think rationally you can only get one thing. You reap what you sow!
... when Bahamians grow up to the point where they can ignore what a person says and watch what they do, only then will they see that both Sands and the Dept. of Public Health did virtually nothing but talk. Only by Gods grace things were not as bad with covid-19 as they could have been!
... even more pressing is what is the PM using as a basis to make these potentially life threatening decisions? Surely is not antibody testing or any other rational tool!
... which shows that no race has a monopoly on being hateful oppressive or able to abuse those with less power. Which is why I propose we get rid of the racist card and call things for what they are, hate crimes against humanity!
