@trueBahamian... I suspect the blond hair blue eyed Jesus was not a portrait, merely an artists interpretation. There are also paintings of him in 14th century garb. The rational know that is not meant to be taken literally! BTW good luck examining and questioning everything you believe using the assumption that your deductive processes are actually correct (do you see the conundrum?)!

People can go and mix up at Waterloo, but I have to get curbside service to buy a bottle of wine or pick up a package from a local courier? Seems strange! I wonder what the logic is!

...your statement does not change the fact that the values Bahamians had that caused lower rates of crime, single parent homes, more social order and respect for others and their property 50 years and before were Judeo-Christian in origin. They were not humanistic, Muslim or atheistic values! A discussion on what is truth or the difference between religion and relationship with God can be had another day!.

... just 50 years ago, both children born out of wedlock and their parents were frowned upon. Today it is the norm with all of the social ills it causes. At what point does personal responsibility come into the picture. No white person from 75 years ago influences my decisions today. Bahamians chose to reject the Judeo-Christian values that created character and integrity and it has been all downhill since then! Sorry Kevin!

The owner of this business sounds like an entitled ... well , let's just say he believes he should get to live by another set of rules, while his business serves as an incubator for spread of this virus! Other business owners who violated orders were hauled before the courts and fined, how come he has not shared their experience?

This is political mischief and nothing more. Sands conveniently forgets that he did not do such a good job in changing the trajectory of the virus early on either (although he talked a good game) and was instrumental in the poorly executed early lock-downs that did not work. In addition, he should not talk about abuse of authority since that is exactly what cost him his job with Swabgate!

.. that under the cloud of a possible election, Minnis would rather make decisions that would placate people and encourage more deaths than find intelligent solutions to actually help curb the spread of the virus. Would you want to go to a gym with people huffing and puffing while wearing their masks improperly for instance?? Why make that possible?

... because only jokers would offer themselves for national 'service' without personal accomplishments and actual real world experience not based on political or family connections!!

@DWW ... how is the curve flat if infection rates and deaths are at an all time high compared with 2 months ago? Can you plot a graph?

As more people get sick and die almost daily and the morgue is out of space and contact tracing can't keep up with actual cases, he decides things are getting better and allows more people to mix in closed spaces. This is not leadership but an act of attrition for political preservation at the cost of lives!
