So, I am not playing politics. Don't care much for your Brave, or Minnis for that matter. But, Brave is right in this instance and I suspect that it is you, moncur, who is playing politics. Here is where I agree (and before you call me all manner of names, please answer me). Brave says 1) There is no overall government strategy articulated to deal with what is happening. This is true, in my view...if there is a strategy, please direct me to it and I will apologetically and humbly apologize for my ignorance. Brave says 2) What is the difference in opening stores now as opposed to during the Easter break? Again, this is a fair question. If we were on lockdown to "flatten the curve" and if by Dr. Dahl-Regis' own admission (as of Monday April 20 at 4:30pm) that the curve is "not yet flattened", then why are we re-opening businesses? Again, not politics, not a Brave or PLP supporter, but these are fair questions I believe.
Actually, not true Mudda. In my own state, masks are mandatory when you go outside, there are no exceptions. By the way, if you have breathing difficulties, then your @$$ should be inside, not outside traversing the streets.
Mudda, I am almost in agreement with you. IF (caps for emphasis) these civil servants have earned these promotions, then they should receive them. I do not agree that the promotions should be rescinded. However, I do agree with you that the promotions should not take effect now. Perhaps mid-2021, which, by that time, hopefully, the economy will return to the "new" normal.
No Dawes, their greatest "journalism" is to continue to hold water for the bigoted, former-UBP merchants and to spread Eileen Dupuch's reprehensible garbage throughout The Bahamas. Malcolm Strachan, is a good soldier - no, lieutenant in this effort.
Actually, the reason why our hospitals are full of non-Bahamians is easy. 1) Bahamian nurses make twice the amount in the US, UK and Canada (even adjusted for taxes); 2) Ridiculously better quality of life; 3) Removal of oneself from banana republic Bahamas; 4) Removal of oneself from black crab Bahamians - which most of us are - who hate to see other Bahamians succeed... Nothing to do with a darn work permit. But, my point to John was that you can't legislate your citizens into staying home. In the first instance, as you suggested, one must create an atmosphere conducive for Bahamians to stay home, then go from there.

One has nothing to do with the other, Mudda. Btw, your post vis-à-vis comparing Italy to The Bahamas, was very solid!

This is not true, Porcupine. No need to insult Bahamians just because, in this instance, someone has a different view point than you.
