The population of the Bahamas did not seek out Dr. Minnis to become PM. He was not asked to leave his private practice and enter the world of politics, rather he put himself forward as one capable of doing a better job than his predecessors. A part of that job is making decisions.
We are in a health crisis, his medical training should have given him an edge in decision making, but it has not. He has failed repeatedly at making decisions that are beneficial or in the collective interest. He has singlehandedly dismantled the belief that doctors are supposed to be intelligent people. It is for this reason, he has lost the trust and respect of the Bahamian people and all, but his sycophants, would be glad to see him go!
I've only said a million times that they need a way to physically track these positive people. We are entrusting our health and safety to people with training in health who cannot make sensible decisions about health issues!
People in FNM constituencies need to start calling their MP's advising them to put forth a motion of no confidence in the PM, or else!! Let the DPM take over and lets move forward. I doubt anyone can make as many poor decisions as Minnis has!
@ geostorm... no, some of us are being responsible and doing our part, but we are still being subjected to the draconian measures imposed by a leader who cannot make a coherent decision. It is stupid to allow 200 people positive for covid to go home and hope they stay there when in reality they are moving through the community. That stupid decision puts those who are doing the right things at risk!! Those people should have been quarantined in a makeshift facility somewhere.
It would not have been discriminatory or unconstitutional if they had developed a list of criteria for Bahamians to travel abroad and specific protocol for re-entry. Consider that just several months ago they had idiotic protocol for family islanders in Nassau to go back to their island of origin!!
Tourists also could have been restricted to the hotel and beach areas while being observed. The facts are clear, this man wanted a decision making position when he lacks the capacity to make rational coherent decisions that include considering worse case scenarios! Its that simple!
... come on now, what Sands did was never about swabs, but abusing his authority to allow a privileged few to come into the country during a closure of the border. The swabs were a cover for that. If Sands wanted swabs that badly the donors could have had them sent by Fed Ex!
It would be a credit to our democracy and the rule of law if we did not allow persons who would fly into a covid-19 hotspot to sit on juries!
Secondly, how can the app track a person if they decide to leave their phone at home and take covid19 into pizza hut, Super Value or a friends backyard bar-b-que?
The PM was worried about people mixing up together and being unruly BEFORE they opened the border and there were no new cases of COVID-19. Now he is asking those with COVID-19 to use an honor system to stay home and not spread the virus because they don't have a means to track these people. Absolutely ridiculous and negligent management of the problem!
