... financing small businesses is not the governments business! That should be in their contingency planning! There is no assurance of existence in business, it is a survival of the fitness model that fuels the market!!
... and you can go into food stores, gas stations and pizza parlors to pick up orders, but you cannot go into a wine store to select a bottle of wine with a mask on while practicing social distancing. The man is an idiot!
@K4C Minnis has to go, anybody else with common sense could do a better job. He has singlehandedly destroyed the premise that doctors are suppose to be smart people!...
... the government has done a horrible job suppressing the virus. Do you realize that Minnis is personally responsible for causing Bahamian to congregate in groups that would encourage the spread of the virus on multiple occasions with his previous orders. Remember that 80% of those infected will have no symptoms, this can only mean that a significant proportion of our population has been infected and now have antibodies to the infection and are unable to get it again. But we are not testing for antibodies, so we have no idea what is going on!! Our leader is an idiot!!
The PLP should sit small and shut up! If they had not wasted so much borrowing and wasting, we would have a bit more room to figure out how to respond to the current crisis. The PLP leadership are an integral part of why we are in the state we are in! Brave Davis and his minions are an absolute waste of time!
actually what is of priority is the approximately 40%higher incidence of mental illness in that demographic that is unrelated to social pressures or bullying! Single mothers are far more likely to suffer harassment, discrimination and other pressures on a job because of the obvious disadvantage (lower education, dependents etc). BTW heterosexual women and men are both seeing increases in physical, emotional and substance abuse at this time. No one is immune. These issues are larger than a particular demographic!
