As a person in the construction industry, the PM's speech sounds great, but talk is cheap, empty barrels make the most noise so don't hold ya breathe, as for the Ministry of works they gave the building of the boundary wall at the new ministry of national security to an inexperienced friend or lover because for a brand new wall to have to be repaired for multiple cracks along the entire wall every 2 months since being built (February 2020) is disgraceful and the person that got this contract under the table should be named.

In the count of cases per Islands, there is stated 68 location pending what does that mean? Do they or do they not know the location or where these persons live or are these foreigners? or are they still deciding on which island they will randomly add these numbers to?

Yes, this is past brutal, thousands don't have electricity so they can't store any food for more than a day, thousands don't have access to running water and are in need of water from the government pump hourly, to lock down the country without any warning to at least be able to secure food and water for even a day is cruel and ugly. God doesn't like cruel nor does he like ugly.

In the Bahamas, there are NO middle-class anymore, there is now only ***RICH*** and ***POOR*** =***The RICH*** = less, to non-vulnerable. ***The POOR*** = most, to very vulnerable. ***The RICH*** = 25% Population. ***The POOR*** = 75% Population. So now you know Ms. Larson who needs HELP. 75% of the population.

The POLICE are the first responders, they could have given him a bly, or try to understand his actions and let him off with a warning, or even turned their heads just like they did for the tourist on the beach, but no they hate on the poor and the defenseless, just watch and take notice how differently the police interact with persons who are rich be they black or white, and even if you are white and poor they act differently, all with some form of likeability and respect. So because there is no middle class anymore, the middle class is now down-graded to poor, when it comes to the poor black citizens in the Bahamas (mainly Nassau ), we are treated by the police with hate, no respect, and contempt, and the ironic thing is after treating the poor citizens this way they themselves too must live amongst and be apart of the very citizens, the poor citizens that they hate on, show no respect for and take advantage off. shameful.

Now, all we need is a functioning Freedom Of Information Act, without one, the police can and will in certain situations that could be in their favor always find a reason why footages from the body or dash cameras can not be seen by the media and/or the public. Will we see accountability? Will we see transparency? The cameras are now in, so it's waiting and see time, only time will tell to see what the jury (the citizens) will have to say in the day and week to come.

Dear Mr. COVID-19, you just won't stop, now you are presumably the cause of an increase in divorces, one thing that's certain you are causing the truth to come to light and make everyone in any and all circumstances take note of themselves, their lives, their surroundings, their futures, be it economical, love, hate, spiritual, financial, in leadership, and so on and on. Yes, Mr. COVID-19, you are one bad mother-f$#%&r

Let's be clear the only group that the law doesn't apply to is the RBPF, no matter what they do wrong they are never held accountable or punished. Police were there when Ash was selling illegal liquor nothing happened to them, when they are proven wrong by the coroner in police shootings nothing happens to them, when young men are beaten with bats on camera at junkanoo nothing happens to them, now this, nothing happens to them they are never held accountable or punished. When persons are looking for food or water during the lockdown they are quick to lock them up and bring them before the courts. This country is joke. a banana democracy.

When you see a white Bahamian businessman expressing openly that they too may have to break the law to survive you know it's tough. Way to go, Mr. Albury, I'm with you. the country is not reaching a boiling point, the country is at a boiling point and ready to explode.
