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.
As far as we the public are aware there is no true accountability in law for our elected officials. The wealthy few pull the strings - kick backs are probably rampant and no politicians spend time locked up because the laws either aren’t there, aren’t enforced, or there are loop holes. Are there any campaign finance laws, anyone keeping track of politicians wealth building while in power, what about their foreign accounts and assets, what about the MP’s doing their jobs on the same side of the aisle or have they given up having their own opinions heard and acted upon. Do they get a Christmas bonus for keeping quiet? Also not one public renewable energy plant on New Providence yet and we are supporting fossil fuel exploration in 2020- not very forward thinking . “When I analyze the stench..” (Bob).
Please- just flattening the curve until when- when you have an island of upper class and severely impoverished due to economic lockdowns- the curve will play out and the end result may be close to the same...
Very Sad and stupid- why close the beaches - resentment for this government must be at an all time high! But of course like every prior Bahamas Government they don’t give a crap what the population thinks or wants. The population is looked upon as children or patients I appears...!
open the country completely and promise in writing not to close it in any way again! sweden - a country which never restricted anything, is doing better than the rest of the world with this!
The numbers of infected are far higher than reported, the narrative of an October wave is world wide and not completely substantiated as it is deduced from elevated testing volumes. Absolutely no action by the government will stop COVID in Nassau at this point - Government restrictions of any type will further kill the economy and people as a result- let the economy run if there is anything left of it! And free the people of this control crap - open the beaches! Instant testing, open tourism entirely! Seriously!.
Absolutely we don’t need to be treated like idiots while trying to keep things afloat in the private sector.
Furthermore government needs to promise NOT to lockdown again before anyone can get anything substantial done to fight this war on COVID.
Enforce testing and allow alternate testing methods as the FDA has done, Open the economy 100% and keep it open no matter what - its a sinking ship at least give us a fighting chance - either that or give EACH citizen and investor a cheque for a years expenses NIB is doing whatever they feel like- changing how long they support persons to suit themselves!! Banks are trying to help as they seemingly are about to go out of business under pressure Don’t force people to wear masks outdoors or in their cars (it’s stupid) Don’t reduce store days or hours (it’s stupid) and only causes crowding- reduce occupancy Don’t close the beaches! post maximum Occupancy - put polite defence force officers to enforce this (people have a right to liberty in truly free countries??!!)
Don’t restrict inter island travel - require rapid testing before boarding aircraft. (As UAE did/does)
This war will last a lot longer than 6 months - try 24 months plus. Remember the current goal is to flatten the curve - eliminating the spread will only come with herd immunity with this one (Sweden)
Lastly what is the point of having such a large government if only a few representatives and the PM actually take part in governing and in the decision process? We’re any representatives consulted, do any of them object to anything or are they just collecting a paycheque with benefits and a government plate? Or are they discouraged because they know the system doesn’t work? Take action, get involved.

Idiots. No evidence or science this approach will do anything but make travellers go elsewhere and will just confuse the issue.
Protect the elderly and vulnerable with underlying conditions and let the rest of the country get on with their normal lives!

Just enforce the laws currently in place and require all crew to have work permits- don’t give the police state more power.
