… but still the overwhelming majority of voters in a Tribune poll thought the government was doing a good job managing this crisis. Bahamians have such low expectations, are cognitively disconnected from what normal should be and have such short memories that in the not too distant future a T shirt, promise of a job and a few cold Kaliks will be enough for them to forget the hell they endured at this time and they will rush to vote for another slate of incompetent candidates. Religion is not the opiate of the people, gambling, alcohol and sex are... the brainless love them!
Biblical Christianity is rooted in having a relationship with God-- that is a personal thing. Religion is rooted in trying to have a vicarious experience with God thorough customs and traditions-- like going to a particular building to worship or following a particular form of worship. The constitutionality of one having a relationship with God and expressing that how they choose is not in question!
If pastors were the least bit concerned about the health and well being of their congregants at this time, they would encourage them to follow the law and strengthen their personal relationship with God. To do otherwise is suspect!!
This is idiotic. Without exposure there means there is no one with immunity to the virus. One person landing with the virus would wreak havoc since there is no proper medical care or testing in Exuma. Look at the incompetence of the governments response to Bimini! Only those showing they have antibodies to the infection can be allowed to the island or there will be hell to pay. Mark my words!
Why put an additional demand on the already stretched public treasury for a new technology when national security already has ankle bracelets that allow tracking? Who is/are the beneficiary(ies) of this new app?
Secondly, why is this being introduces so late in the game. It should have been foreseeable that if you ask infected persons to self isolate there should have been means in place to monitor them to ensure they did not become 'super spreaders'. Too little too late!
But yet the vast majority of those in a Tribune poll thought the government was doing a good job managing this problem.
Quite an arrogant posture to take from one who lacked the authority to breach an EO by the PM. Unfortunately our politicians lack the moral character to do the right thing without political pressure being applied and the PM is too politically weak within his own party to stir up more controversy, so I guess D'Aguilar ain't going nowhere!
