This is just dumb. It isn't going to improve any time soon. There is no need for our borders to open right now. Obviously. If there are not enough tourists to have even the slightest impact on our economy why are our borders open? This mutated strain in the US is 10 times more contagious than the virus we just beat. Why are our borders open? The downside is pretty obvious, what's the upside? 19 tourists a week? What happens if (more likely when) tourism stays depressed but this new strain hits and all of a sudden we start seeing 10, 20 infections a day? Our death rate was what? 6, 8% during our first wave? This opening could and probably will take us from the pan straight in the fire...
This isn't making sense. If there's no business why are our borders open? You're risking a major surge allowing even a few Americans to come in and they can't actually help our economy. Why? You look like idiots, you declare we'll open July 1, then the hotels decide you're an idiot so they're just gonna stay closed. And you stick with this dumb plan? Why? Because Minnis is more afraid of looking bad than saving lives? Anyone that dies because of this dumb re-opening, their death is on your hands...
Close the borders. Or at least close us to countries that are surging out of control.....
I'd have to see what he means by a whole lot of land, the one thing we do have here in Freeport in absolute abundance is a whole lot of land. And none of it is swamp... lol...
They should have waited for the closing to complete. I have no doubt RCCL is telling our government they're still interested and good to go. Only a fool would believe that right now....
