Mr Bannister, Utilize the Government powers of "**Eminent Domain**" and acquire all the spare oil tank storage capacity at BOROCO in freeport and buy the OIL now at the low prices thus saving BPL hundreds of millions of dollars this year. .Make it happen no time to talk, time for action.

agreed John, all islands in the Bahamas with no Corona cases should be allowed to go back to normal operation. Covid-19 will be a long term problem. Even cities in China are reporting that some recovered cases are testing positive a second time after they have been Corona free.

The Bahamas Government should begin to plan ASAP for the Covid-19 tourism environment at all airports and all entry points in this country including Marinas when these lock downs and curfews end and the Hotels begin to open up. The post 911 world made shoe removal, and the taking of certain items onto planes illegal as well as advanced body scanning techniques the norm at airports around the world. It is going to be critical that we install Body scanning thermometer's at all points of entry to measure the temperatures of all passengers entering this country. When a vaccine is found for the corona virus all passports will have to show a stamp indicating the holder was inoculated. The situation in china now that they are opening back up proves that the virus will be seasonal.

it might be true because BFS cater to the major holes which are all closed down. BFS closure wont affect super value because their traditional suppliers are the old Bahamian oligarchy food whoesale companies.

I smell a rat ….Cable Bahamas sold their Summit Broadband Florida company for $301.5m US. The deal was closed earlier this year so why lay off 100 staff members at this time. I question calling it temporary the same week they sign an agreement with sun cash to accept Cable Bahamas cash payments and Cash and Go is allowed to operate banking hours and also accept CB payments. Looks like a down sizing exercise to me with Covid-19 being used as an excuse.. I think those customer service employees got thrown under the bus. Sun cash and Cash and go now doing their work.

Banker ….Hardware retailers like Kelly's and Tops, would cry foul if CBS is allowed to operate so I think this less about their a online presence. The other day Sands beer was shut down because they started home deliveries and commonwealth brewery and other liquor merchants strongly protested because sands had permission from the office of the PM.

in addition they follow the political directorate in power and build many government buildings and clinics. The clinics may be justified because the funds come the NIB medical branch . but NIB built Customs HQ, Min of Education HQ, Paul Adderly Building, Police HQ and dorms in freeport. Min of health HG, Sandilands rehab extension, many government office complexes in the family, the leonard Thompson airport in abaco and the list goes on. Many contracts were given to political cronies and all went over budget....SAD
