This is the dawn of a new world (economic) order ……… China the Dragon will emerge to challenge the EU and the USA …..... Who is winning right now????????
Soooooooo, why are the Chinese Covid19 numbers not expanding with 1.5 Billion people, of which a billion live like Neanderthals??? …………. and another Billion live next door in India??? But it jumped all the way to a few million in Italy??????
This Covid19 dilemma is a Catch22 problem for any country ……… If we have a 24 hour lockdown/curfew and close 90% of businesses without the requisite social services support to assist the 60% of our financially vulnerable population, we will face a national economic collapse …….. and if we leave everything open, then we may face a potential health crisis that our public and private health services and medical supplies reserves cannot handle.
How do we balance this between economic collapse vs health crisis????? ….. Do we risk everyone getting infected and testing for the true infection rate and still allow for economic activity and jobs once they practice responsible public protocols??? Are we socially disciplined enough for that???
Minnis should have found this courage to impose this Emergency Order with Dorian ……… when potentially 1000 people were sucked out of the Mudd and Pigeon Peas …….. But we are doing it with a "virus" that may not even turn out to be about our health at all …… SMT

With the cruise ships gone and the hotels closed ……….. what will KPT do to find revenue for the Government in order to provide some level of corporate subsidies and allowances to the 50% of the unemployed workforce (by May)????????
Many persons/families in this country cannot survive another 30 days shutdown with NO income or savings ...…… Govt or NIB allowances cannot feed a family, pay bills and/or rent ……… We need other options for at least 60% of the workforce.
How many of these so-called private schools worth paying money to attend???? …….. Probably no more than 10 ……..… The rest of them are probably not as good as many public schools ……….. But Bahamians are suckers for "paying" for what is considered better service. Many argue that the private schools are safer, have committed teachers and parents, and have smaller classes ……. should that not mean better academic performances???? …….. So, how come we hear so few get great results every year at the MOE Awards?????
