I think it's obvious there are mixed motives in reopenings
If he says, partly by the cabinet, part economic and part health, part pressure by an MP, I have lots of broke people on that island, part election, part guessing, part science, etc that would be the complete honest answer.
Though the reasons are always 'guided by health...'.
It seems like with the crabbing story many can argue their economic well being is at risk, particularly those on the other family islands.
We can assume, whatever issue exists in Exuma, may exist in Andros or the other islands which have opened.
Plus as someone mentioned the borders are closed. So European flights? Which European Flights are coming to the Bahamas?
We've done t2 yesterday. We've tested 168 over the past 6 days for an average of 28. and we've been trending below the average. lately. So either fewer persons presenting and therefore less testing and contract trace testing.
Or we just don't have the test kits to do widescale testing.
Congrats, there is lots of liquidity and appetite for yield. My guess, pension funds swooped in and gobbled this up. Those who sat on loads of cash looking for returns filled in the blanks.
Though, you know it tells you about our state of affairs when its national news that an organization can sign and execute documents electronically. My reading from this is if this is news, many of their peers in govt are behind.
I was worried but after these statements I'm now comforted.
"Notwithstanding the fact that we had to load shed…if you check the record, this summer has still been better than any of the five summers under the former administration, any of them,” Bannister said."
This came days after BPL chairman Donovan Moxey told the Nassau Guardian the company did not anticipate any load shedding this summer. “We don’t expect any load shedding,” Mr Moxey said last week.
Both quotes came in 2019. Both quotes before the worst summer in BPL history.
Maybe we have no more problems, maybe we have tremendous problems. If I were them, I'd just stick to not making promises and tell persons to not listen to promises, otherwise, I have a bridge to sell on Spanish Wells.
