Certainly there is a better way. Even when the Grand Bahama lockdown started, they were given 2 days notice.<br/>
So how in the world New Providence get 0 days notice??? What, are we the **dogs** of Nassau??... that we can't be treated with a modicum of decency???

Exactly, no time to prepare!! It's complete stupidity at the highest level!!!

One thing that he said that is true is that people can be really stupid about social distancing. When you mention to people to stay on their 3 ft. line and not right up under you, some of them want to curse you out - just for telling them to follow common sense. SMH<br/><br/>
Bahamians can be really inconsiderate at times.

Minnis can't see past his ivory tower to look at the struggles of the poor man.

Yep, the only thing the lockdowns reveal is that they are not the answer.

Lol, I'm detecting sarcasm here😁... I'm sure they just don't follow up to see who has recovered. Government proving they are just lousy as usual.

It would be foolish to extend the lockdowns. With the continuous flow of cases in Grand Bahama even **before** the national lockdown, it shows these lockdowns aren't doing much. Keeping the border closed was the cause and also the answer.
<br/><br/>
These cases came from the USA. It will take a while to normalize. **Continually making everyone stay home is not effective - Grand Bahama is proof of this**. Just keep the borders closed for a while longer. Everyone is rushing to a vaccine. I think that will be coming through the pipeline soon. The US will probably be among the first to get it, so that will help things turn around. If the timeline of Feb/2021 for a vaccine is realistic, that would be a good thing.
<br/><br/>Let the businesses socially distance, people wear masks and just see how long you can keep the borders closed, but stop these 24-hour curfews. I think the 10 pm curfew is okay.

Yes, but it takes people with vision to bring the kind of change we need. Unfortunately, that is highly lacking in our leadership.
