People can only pontificate on what they have been told. About 300k of us don't live on Abaco so its good to share your knowledge.
Now If that's the reason then they should say. People are only reacting on what they've been told. The claimed reason form the govt was simply 'special skills' and Bahamians will be trained. If its that Bahamians just don't want to handle the work conditions, pay, then all of what they said is incorrect and they shouldn't make a false claim.
If Bahamians won't tolerate the conditions then the training story and the technical skill gap is false too because they won't be there to be trained.
I think all we need is proper clarity so your info is good to know.
He continued: “But it also depends on how this COVID-19 turns out and whether we keep seeing increased cases and don’t come up with no cure or remedies to lower the cases. That may be another issue but The Bahamas government, in my view, is prepared to ensure that the necessary steps are taken to prevent persons from coming in with it and to prevent Bahamians from getting it.”
If this is the case, then what's the warning for?
On top of that if we have 1 or 2 companies complying with the act and using covid as an excuse, seems to me that this is not much of a headline.
Seems like the govt can easily put this to bed if they say: Here are the skills and the reason they were brought in for. Or even release the request letter.
Saying they asked for 400 and got 130 isn't a good answer.
Hey, Bahamians don't go to the crazy US hotspot, especially Florida Califnoia NY Texas the Carolinas, for non-essential travel you may cause a spread when you return.
Hey, Americans especially from Florida Califnoia NY Texas the Carolinas, please come for non-essential travel you won't cause a spread when you return.
2 takeaways 1) They did not apply this warning approach to the curfews as they do with the masks. Persons were getting prosecuted but here, hey you mask on. 2) In less than 2 weeks, not only did they find an MP named Carlton Bowleg, but they discovered another one named Ricky Mackey.

If masks are mandatory regardless why is it also mentioned for these attractions? It would imply that otherwise, they wouldn't be.
It like saying, they must have a valid business license, and the owners must not have an outstanding arrest warrant.
