...if the Bahamas really wants to be up the creek without a paddle, let them construct a Huawei 5g network here. Trump knows how to hit where it hurts. Even China was forced to make a trade deal while he sat and waited!!
… actually no! He is in the middle of a health crisis with inadequate stockpiles of necessary protective personal equipment for healthcare workers. GM motors the car company Is making ventilators for gods sake! The war powers act has been invoked for companies to make other necessary products. Any leader who does not act in the best interest of their citizens should not be in power, except in the Bahamas where we reward incompetence!
It is our fault that we did not anticipate that we would need PPE supplies when there was no ban on them from January or February 2020!!
… are you the only person who didn't see the lines at the grocery stores, Aquapure and other places caused the panic caused by this idiotic government?
This is stupid again. How can a person who does not have a mask at home get one if we are locked down for the next 5 days and what happens when they go out (without one) to get one when the lockdown is lifted?
The first idea is that the PM and Minister of Health should both resign. Their shortsightedness and lack of proper preparation and execution coupled with impromptu pronouncements created panic has caused this virus to spread unnecessarily. This means that they will be responsible for the loss of innocent Bahamian lives. They also refuse to acknowledge their incompetence in the progression of this disease!
Secondly, we need to lift these lockdowns and utilize the police and RBDF to maintain proper crowd control at grocery stores and other key businesses, banks etc. Grocery store and restaurant chains must be encouraged to implement home delivery services to keep segments of the economy active while finding ways to reduce congestion in stores.
It is idiotic to close medical clinics at this time. Many will not want to go to PMH for medical care when Covid cases are going there!
All laundromats must be shut down and the government has to find a way to test people BEFORE they become so sick that intervention cannot help them.
Lastly, we should ensure that if nothing else, the first recommendation is carried out!
You are witnessing what happens when power is not balanced with wisdom and discretion! Those who aspire to lead usually desire power but lack the other two, so their decisions cannot make sense to a rational mind!
It also helps to have a educated population that can understand and carry out simple instructions. I cannot disagree with arrests for breaking curfews in this specific situation!

@pileit … I saw a news report on cable yesterday that stated Mexico declined an offer of Chinese face masks because of their unreliability!
