…its kinda stupid to allow people to travel into the country from affected countries WHILE curtailing movement of the local population. The airport and harbor MUST be shut down with immediate effect. Both seem equally as important to me!!
This is the kind of double message that makes it clear that the government is not serious. They are saying they are at "war with the virus" yet they keep the borders open to allow people from affected areas to keep coming in. Such nonsense will only prolong the period of economic recovery as new cases keep popping up. How can they not see this?
Right thinking Bahamians should be concerned about an unconstitutional breach of our civil liberties.
Someone should advise Mr Davis that interferon is **not** an antiviral drug and cannot help to **eradicate** Covid 19! A simple Google search reveals that info!
… logic, like everything else has limitations, the main one being that it is only a valuable tool to arrive at conclusions if the initial premise is correct. Start with a false premise and you must, by default, have a false though logical conclusion!
"*Announcing that Governor General C A Smith issued a proclamation of emergency on Tuesday, Dr Minnis pledged to do all in his power to protect the Bahamian people from the threat.*"
When they had the power to actually do something they didn't (a sensible travel ban and closed borders), now all they can do is talk, curtail the movement of people and wait for the virus to burn itself out!
Too little too late and all while we have 2 doctors in government!
@DWW... please explain how the statements made were unethical or deceitful. Did you bother to read Dr Brennens statement I re-quoted from above??
Do you not realize that the person infected with the virus had to have gotten it from someone. So at a minimum there would have to be two cases here (since she did not travel recently). The only way there cannot be two cases is if those she was in contact with were not tested and simply asked to quarantine themselves. Learn to think!

I have two questions:
1) Why are people having children they cannot afford to feed?
2) Why does the working class always have to foot the bill when people fail to exercise personal responsibility?
