They might be doubled in price and out of stock in Nassau but one of the cheaper laptops seen at a local store store was $200 less on Amazon and a used model now out of stock was at least $100 more than a similar model brand new!
Hydroxychloroquine has been debunked as a viable treatment for Covid, studies have shown that using this drug impacted the recovery and health of those patients who received it. Dr Bethel speaks of speculative drug treatments, not mentioning those that have shown promise, corticosteroids like Dexamethasone are cheap, and a major UK trial has shown its promise reducing death on ventilated patients by 30% and those rec'g oxegyn by 20%. There is also Remdesivir, but the initial hype is slowing as complications and problems arise the latest study showed patients died at the same rate on it or not. And a 5 day treatment is over $2000. There are other drug studies in the works convalescent-plasma therapy is another, that are more promising than those Dr Bethel is hyping, frankly I wonder if he just wants to see his name in print...
Waiting for a policeman is an old pastime in the Bahamas tho not for the want of officers 'at the ready' for whenever I passed the station I could hear the dominoes a-clacking!
Having just read comments mocking a report by US Human Rights concerning corruption in The Bahamas to this, my head is reeling; for this appears to be a deliberate intervention by the gov't to aid a Bahamian co. in order to circumvent international (national?) laws, the ethical concerns arising from it's cavalier exposure of it's customers to employees infected with Tuberculosis! The fact that there is no mention of any public health concerns, much less an investigation should be intolerable, instead it's just business as usual. 'Two students tested positive for TB in local schools'
$37.50/week should be seen as a gift, an opportunity. Does no one recall the years after the Market burnt down? Does anyone think how much it would be to rent a store, a corner on Bay St? How disappointing to read the mind set still reflects what holds back change, and independent thinking heartens swaggerts like Davis who seek this type of voter chained to gov't pork - or forgetfulness. Form a committee, take turns in cleaning, maintaining the Market, your place of business instead of complaining, waiting for another hand out.
Amazing that one vendor is put out she must invest her own money to light her own store! To sell her goods! Why celebrate a day of Independence if you aren't your own master?
Madam Minister get of this aging soap box of yours before it topples both you and the pcitizens and constitution you are sworn to represent justly.. answer Mr Gibson's queries about this broken system of justice!
This discussion is never resolved because the laws governing these biz, have never been enforced, & those charged with the 'enforcing' are obviously as corrupt as the owners/operators But the fact is this mpacts tourism $$ ! Nassau needs those cruisers with their feet on the ground not huddled in a bar..
What a waste of taxpayer money. Mayor Reed has been facing angry residents of East and South Atlanta where crime isn't down it's up- way up. Auto thefts, aggravated assaults and murders it's just a numbers game shifting stats between the 6 Zones of the city. And Reed just announced the closure of a homeless shelter for 700 men, but no plans for a replacement.That should help... right? Ask him about the 32 mos study that revealed that 461 criminals had committed over 14,000 crimes; and their means to do so? The City's "rocket docket" that puts them right back on the street. The blind leading the blind in Nassau and the corrupt one big jolly party of ole pols. ,at least they have some things in common besides an abundance of hot air.
