@Dontassume, unfortunately I have to agree with you for the most part, although probably as many of our visitors are vaccinated as unvaccinated. With the current rise in infections locally they have a better than even chance of going home infected than arriving.
Furthermore, if people are not vaccinated or we have not achieved herd immunity, and are unable to congregate as a result, how do we get our economy and businesses back on track and reverse the unemployment spiral? How do you continue to contain the spread of the virus in the public and private business environment with the majority of the population unvaccinated and not having achieved herd immunity? If people wish to remain unvaccinated that’s their right, it is not however their right to inflict themselves on coworkers and the populace at large unless they can produce, as those who are vaccinated can, current proof of Covid negativity whenever in the public domain. And, until we have achieved herd immunity the variants will continue to crop up with regularity.
@dontassume, while I completely agree with you that safe and and sanitary procedures and policies are the best way our undisciplined people have not, nor will not, abide by them. As for segregationist efforts, what makes people who live in gated communities, and no I’m not one of them, segregationists? There are plenty Bahamians, black and white, who live in them and what gives the unwashed horde the right of access and trespass on or through private property? As to poor governance, we have long since been reduced to the lesser of two weevils fighting for the flour. Do you honestly expect anything better from the other crew? SMT.
@john, bey you just wouldn’t change ya bad ways, still bringing people ma into the conversation and still beating up on Marvin Dames. The hospital full, I guess alla yinna ignorant mofu’s going on the beach at Albany and Old Fort to dead when you catch da ting,aye?
I don’t suppose that the fact that one of the pilots was a student pilot and the other wasn’t rated to fly that aircraft having no time nor training in type might have had any bearing on why they crashed?
#Mr Smith contrasted the Government’s position with that of the Opposition, whose leader, Philip Davis, has promised to cancel any Paradise Island Crown Land lease involving Royal Caribbean should it be elected to office at the upcoming general election.
Mr Smith, without excusing the government’s disingenuous behavior, you should be careful of getting in bed with Brave and Co, to sup with the devil you need a long spoon. As we Bahamians say mout could say anything, money buy land. Once the cruise industry money going in another set of pockets you might be dismayed at the results.
A national cleansing of our current crop of politicians and a goodly portion of the so called clergy could be considered a Godsend, nod once for yes, twice for no.
Decades of UNION corruption and incompetence has definitely led to people trying to grab what they can just to survive. And the BPL union are one of the worst, never in the history of The Bahamas have so many of us been so inconvenienced by the actions and attitudes of so few!
