We are about to find out exactly what kind of leadership this country has!

It seems to me that a post storm data analysis might be more accurate at assessing potential cost!

Why get a $100 million credit line from the IADB to be paid back with interest? What happened to buying catastrophic insurance as they have before?

*PRIME Minister Dr Hubert Minnis defended his administration’s stalled pace on promised mandatory evacuation legislation, telling reporters yesterday that no one could have anticipated monster storm Hurricane Dorian.*

What a foolish statement! The whole purpose for mandatory evacuations based on forecasts is exactly because no one can anticipate how devastating a storm can be. Seems to me the focus should be on damage assessment and emergency responses.

I am mystified at the absolute stupidity of the driver risking their life to drive around to shoot video in such a dangerous storm and so close to the open waters. I guess they didn't realize a tidal surge or falling tree could have ended their joyride.

Spot on!

I really hope Grand Bahamas will get a break from misfortune. They need it!

... he's complaining about visas when the Bahamas has been hurt by Haitian drain on health, education and social services to the tune of multiplied millions possibly billions of dollars over the past 20 years, not including the importation of TB into this country? Is this guy serious?

Maybe we can hold out until the HIV rates increase to 1 in 2.

... depends on who you talk to. If a junior doctor then they will tow the union line, if someone more seasoned you may get a different perspective. The reality is that many agree that the quality of doctors has decreased since UWI opened its program in the Bahamas. Some older docs I have spoken too are not impressed with their skills. A degree does not magically confer competence they say!
