Pushing for persons to get vaccinated is one thing but forcing them to do so is completely wrong - everyone knows this.
Same goes for providing more freedoms or less restrictions to those who agree to get vaccinated! Some persons have medical histories that do not make the risks associated with vaccinations tolerable etc. Make the damn PCR tests required for travel free if you aren't being unreasonable!

Get serious and govern with respect, STOP dictating.

Any private sector legal minds reading the news...?????!!!

Absolute BS - push the vaccine for willing citizens and forget the garbage data, fear mongering, and crappy reporting.

The Bahamas must "face the music" on resolving ongoing corruption and kickbacks - not further taxation to make companies, large and small, even less competitive. Items cost far more to import and clear than their first cost most of the time - how is that sustainable? So much for VAT reducing import duties.... what a joke.

Awesome! Its about time the Bahamian entrepreneur wins one!

Isn’t anyone else tired of being treated as second class and second in line in their own country?

Privately run businesses with pure grit are always better for the economy than enriching the consolidated (hole in the ground) fund to no end for no return..

"ANYONE who receives a COVID-19 vaccine once they become available in the country will receive a certificate that “may be associated with travel in the future,” which is a “potential requirement being discussed internationally,” the Office of the Prime Minister said last night."

The vaccine makes sense but is indirectly forcing persons to get it in order to travel really in line with what the Bahamas stands for? - restricted travel for not falling in line? At least some of those doctors who approved the vaccines recognize and indicated that it is not OK to mandate vaccine use due to potential risks - shouldn't this apply to direct or underhanded mandates? Does the vaccine prevent asymptomatic transmission? Very very doubtful. (Won't persons still contract the virus but just have lessor symptoms given their prep'd immune system) Does the Vaccine prevent reinfection after 180 or even 365 days? Very very doubtful. Is the Vaccine therefore really necessary for anyone outside of the high risk categories? Are vaccines going to be required every year then???!

If WHO and PAHO are going to pay our or relieve our deficit then sure keep nodding to everything they say otherwise please start thinking of ways to actively save the private sector by easing restrictions not building new ones.

Maybe, just maybe you should reconsider the requirements - 5 day retesting is an inconvenience! Particularly after paying $225 in FL for 48 hour turn around time for results for a PCR test in USA in order to get the $25 health travel visa (reportedly up to 72 hours to obtain in USA) and land in Bahamas within 5 days from test day... hmm no wonder fewer visitors. Is there a suitable saliva test - YES or NO? What is so special about the 5 days versus 7 or 10 as is the case elsewhere? Why do some need tests to leave Nassau and some don't? Why is rapid antigen ($17) Ok to enter a hotel and not Ok to get a travel Visa at least domestically?

Come on government - PLEASE adapt & improve or this ship will sink!

Privatize that wasteful money pit of an airline urgently - doesn’t anyone in government own a calculator? 19 million per year over 20 years -> 380million plus interest in losses and for what exactly - a country’s ego and independence?- come on!!

Prima Minister should definitely stay the course as PM just not as King!

Anyone else remember the Pindling days? Sure as sh&t didn’t speak your mind publicly if it opposed him. Do we really want that crap again? How difficult is it to take away emergency powers and still protect Bahamians from covid which has a mortality rate around that of the flu ?.... what, is the government we currently have employed too lazy to meet more frequently if needed and come to a consensus on the next moves for this mess.
If the other MPs aren’t doing anything I trust we aren’t paying them more than 25% of their salary (seriously!) during this BS game the competent authority is playing while his freedoms of course are completely in tact. Come on!!?!

The FnM MPs musseee can’t be bothered to show up to discuss anything - too afraid or stupid to see and acknowledge the precedent being set. Are y’all hoping for full on civil unrest or something?

Please MPs, AG, Governor please !!! get this power drunk PM in check- are there any honest men in parliament?

We the Bahamian people hereby challenge the honourable PM to relinquish his emergency powers voluntarily no later than December 31st 2020 and prove that it truly is Better in the Bahamas!

With all due respect - Government of Bahamas please stop your crap! Let people live their lives and give back their freedoms.
We need to be able to travel inter island relatively easily (its more for the test than the ticket plus the damn quarantine), we need to be able to stay out past f’ing curfew to see family, friends, to shop, to LIVE. Children are being negatively affected in a huge way.
Enough is enough - stand up and think.
Protect the elderly or have them under curfew if you dare! Stand guard at the f’ing beach’s if you have to but otherwise STOP trying to be royalty and behave like representatives working for the Bahamian people not parenting them.
