On Abaco they refer to it as the Chinese port, not the North Abaco port. I wonder if the Exuma airport will be the Chinese Airport?

So, 165 million for airport "upgrades' while we have people struggling to make ends meet. Really? Look at what happened to Abaco after Dorian. There is no hurricane redevelopment plan. It has taken a year to get some-and I underline some- water and electricity to Abaco. Wouldn't it be better to take that money and create an infrastructure to help our people cope with what may be an annual event? And, get reliable water and electricty to every place in the Bahamas. We just had another power outage in Nassau.

Where do you get a sailboat that goes 10 knots-try 6 knots. For me, it’s a 30 hour crossing!

I thought our trusty Minister of Tourism said there would be a “small fine” if you missed the 5 day test $1,000 must be a pittance in his book. These new rules are going to be an absolute disaster. If American Airlines can’t figure out how to do this at Miami Airport, I am sure our trusty government, that failed the Abacos after Dorian, doesn’t have a chance. I predict we’ll see more changes before Nov 14. And cruise ships? Maybe Feb or March.

And American Airlines can’t figure out how to Rapid Test in just the Miami airport for people getting on a plane. But, our government can test at 30 or 40 different locations and then figure out how to PCR the positive ones and then keep track of the positive ones and evacuate them so they don’t infect other people? Really? 3,000,000 tests? Believability is a real problem with our government.

Mr. Myers- just wait! You’ll see a lot more twists, turns and u-turns in the road by our trusty government. No need to worry about hospitals filling up, the $60 “insurance fee” covers Med evac according to some. And, on our Family Islands, where does a person go when he tests positive after 5 days and has to get a PCR test and then wait 3-4 days for those results?

So, let’s see- you have to check in daily online? What if you don’t have internet? What if you go for your 5 day Covid test to the family island airport and test positive? Do they hold you there until you pay $25,000 for private evac? Do they let you go back to get your stuff? Does the health insurance cover that? I don’t know who in our government dreams up these schemes. Is it any wonder resorts don’t open? Or that tourists don’t come? Or there will be a new set of complicated rules? I’m totally baffled by this hodge podge!

American Airlines can’t figure out a way to do this in just Miami yet our government is planning on taking it nationwide in 2 days? Really???

American Airlines just announced cancellation of pre boarding Covid tests as the system to do it was too complex. And we think our government can handle this at all airports?

Glad the brain trust at WSC figured out what to do on Abaco. Let’s see, that only took 14 months. And, don’t let them kid you water is flowing in the Abacos-trickling is a better description!
