In what universe is doing something that has been shown not to work ever a good idea!

- Allow people to go to the stores when they need to ,
- Increase police presence in and out of stores to ensure that only one person is shopping at a time and social distancing is being enforced, (I saw a family of three adults in a store today)

- Allow the elderly and essential workers to enter stores at any time once they approach the door with an ID,

- Encourage local stores to get into online deliveries, since deliveries can be make at the door with no need for person to person contact (make it easy for them to do so)
- Shut down all laundromats (ASAP)- separate issue

*Dr Minnis appealed – in fact, he said it was a “strong appeal” – to doctors in private practice to help in the fight against COVID-19 “during this hour of great need”.*

That's funny because during this last lockdown, all private medical facilities were closed during the lockdown (if I am not mistaken). How could he want them to help in the "fight" but not allow them to work?

Maybe we should all talk to doctors we know and find out if any of them have confidence in the way Minnis and team are handling this situation! I know what the people I have spoken to have said!

@ Clamshell…. I nodded 4 times does that mean I am still confused?

That one is for all the never Trumpers!

… actually the government is forcing Bahamians not to comply by their idiotic and spontaneous pronouncements! Can you imagine grocery stores on Tuesday morning for instance!!

Of course governments should try to help out its citizens in these kind of situations, but they cannot spend the taxpayers money as though it is their own. Will the beneficiaries of the funds have to pay it back, and what are the details of that?

@CatIslandBoy... when a disease is spread by person to person contact you are not trying to save lives when you make a decision that causes panic and drives people out of their safe homes to grocery stores on long lines where they become exposed to infection. Can you not see that?

@CatIslandBoy… I hope you can appreciate that there is a vast difference between becoming a party leader and leading a country. They require different skill sets. The person who can become party leader will become PM whether they are qualified to lead a country or not, and we do not get to choose from the best because of the nature of politics.

… that is what I was referring too. Thanks.

… umm the assumption you are making is that the one making the decisions has a rational mind. The cumulative evidence thus far says otherwise!
