You have to wear them at all times in public

- unless you are in the parliament sitting down then you can take it off
- but if you are in church you are supposed to have it on at all times
- but if you are in a restaurant when you enter and exit but not when seated
- same with the beach when its not closed on holiday weekends and you arent a fence hopping tourist
- but in your car is ok to not have it
- if your exercising outside then its ok not to but inside gyms its required or at least some gyms
- perhaps also when you aren't speaking in a mic as it seems they all take it off then
- if you cant do our job with it on maybe there is an exception but I'm not sure

did i get it right?

looks like good news.

How is BEC to pay the debt of the 500m bond? I thought this was going to be added to the bills? What will be the net change to bills:

Orignal bills:
- savings from the generators
- savings from locked in fuel costs
+ cost to finance RRB.
'= final bill

has the govt counted this in its budget?

Agreed on local govt. The big issue, the central govt loves power too much.

They would dread the thought of only being needed for immigration, defense, foreign affairs, and other national issues.

The govt gives a broad ok for projects to be in the Bahamas granted things to pass that level of checks but Imagine GB, NP, Exuma, and Andros all deciding themselves as to whether they want a Free Trade Zone project. Listening to Fred Smith you see the issue, he said the Govt should direct all investments to GB. Each island or district or whatever should be allowed to attract investors to their respective islands and let them compete.

Just wondering...is it typical with all of these cases popping up in a short time to only test 14?

I mean its easy to talk about your low cases when you test 14 in a day. The most you will have is 14 cases...right.

We went from 2519 to 2526 to 2540. So 21 in two days.

I'm not a testing guru so there may be a method here...
