the virus has spread to 19 countries in a very short time. Ability to confirm cases is difficult because of the long incubation period of two weeks, which means the total number of cases is expected to increase in the following weeks. Our open borders and increases in Chinese travelers should have us on high alert, which we are not. That is cause for concern!
A non medical person with common sense would have known that the virus reaching here was a reality and would have taken necessary steps to have prevented or minimized the possibility of it happening. Things Sands in his capacity did not do!
I was on Amazon last night looking at N95 masks to purchase and suggest others consider doing the same. Its better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them!
The author is correct. Grocery stores are the only business where our goods are not packaged to allow you to leave their stores and it creates an unnecessary inconvenience for customers. I constantly see people leave stores with 1 or 2 items in hand, unbagged, because they may have forgotten to bring their 'reusable' bag to stores and the stores do not provide a small bag for small items. It is ridiculous!

Chinese tourists have checked into Bahamian hotels in the past three days? Are they considered quarantined too?
We simply cannot trust Bahamian government officials to tell us the truth and look out for our best interest!!
