Delivery tends to be too expensive. If the delivery price could be the price of gas, I would probably use it.
I order curbside from a local business They charge 5 to deliver per item. That is why I go pick it up. If they charged let's say 5 for the first item amd 1 for each extra on the order I would use it. 20 to deliver 4 items down the road is more than a an air fright forwarder.
> Instead, Mr Johnson said foreigners granted work permits would be replaced by Bahamian workers who have been deemed “competent” by officials to take over those roles.
So these officials are going to grant pharmacist permits and medical licenses now?
Thing is they are not giving 40000 work permits to "training managers" and other highly skilled specialists. These permits cost more than 10000 dollars.
The bulk of these permits go to dimestic workers and other labourers, assigned to jobs Bahamians prefer not to do.
As for the "training" requirement a pharnacist or specialist doctor cannot "train" someone to replace them, the trainees have to go to schools. So this is a sector of work permit holders that remain for 10-12 years.

That is actually the same reliability of your diabetes blood test machine.
If that is good enough to monitor diabetes, it should be good enough for covid.

They could have said that from day 1.
But instead they made people believe lockdown would protect us from the virus.
This nonsense of flattening the curve just makes the outbreak longer.
Now there are all the unemployed people who cannot pay bills.
We used to think lawyers made bad politicians. Try doctors!!!!

Cassava has little nutritional value. And the bahamian population does not know what to do with it.
It is also quite the invasive species and harmful to forests and has caused a lot of problems in madagascar.
