It's tough for residents in those islands. But, it's a business decision. Why is Chester turning this into politics? A government shouldn't show up to a table to tell a company how to run their business. Chester is a businessman. It's ridiculous for him to bring this to the table.

Why is there an article on this garbage? Why should we focus on what he believes? If Rupert Roberts said that he is an atheist, are you going to stop buying grocery from Suoer Value?

What we need to focus on here is Mr. Johnson's gross incompetence. That's relevant for our country. Also, people are too focused on some of these religious leaders such as Mr. Ellis. You need to ask, what have they but specifically Mr. Ellis gas done to better this country? Shouting and screaming and carrying on, is good for a show, but how about doing about the work that you are supposed to do. A lot of churches operate in poor communities and don't give a shit about the people in those communities. Pastors complaining about people not being allowed to go to church because of revenue. So, they're prepared to risk your health in the name of the dollar.

Again, this article is just trash. Mr. Johnson belief is not something for public consumption. But, his performance in his chair as Financial Secretary is something we should focus on. He is showing the same gross incompetence that some of the Minnis cabinet is showing.

Dr. Sands is trying to take a major step politically. Putting that aside for a second, he's right to speak to what is happening and to give some suggestions.

This really isn't the time for flashing party colors. As one country, we need to sort this problem out. Brave is right that the government has failed. But, after you point that out, give some suggestions to fix the situation.

Testing, testing ,testing and more testing will be th e inky way out of this crisis. Lockdowns with increased resting is just further destroying the economy. Get it right PM!

...hot air and arrogance...typo above

Covid-19 finished them off. Hurricane Dorian was another disaster for them. This was a huge problem that nations much greater than ours would be challenged to address. However, there are failures that are unique to how this government handled and is still.handling this situation. The increase in VAT was not a bright idea. Don't think a poor man going to the store every day will forget he is taking less food home than he did before. There are other solutions to addressing our financial shortfalls than an increase to VAT. Keep in mind those with little, add little to.the economic pot. It.makes better sense to increase taxes on those that have more. No one wants to pay more taxes. But, for some of us it is better to give a little extra so the little guy can survive.

The PLP isn't the solution. But, neither is the FNM. The landscape has to change. We have no real leaders. Just hit air and arrogance masquerading as men.

So, we have Bishop Ellis putting on a show. He made some good points, but given the hypocrisy in this man, it's hard to pay too much attention to him. Instead of spending so.mich time.blasting the government,.how about he just quietly go about the community and do good. Isn't that what the church is supposed to do? Too.many church leaders want to win an Oscar for their performance instead of being true messengers of the faith. John the Baptist, we are told in the Bible, prepared the way for Christ. He ate locust and drank wild honey. He didn't have a throne in church with a European car in the church driveway with a home in a gated community. So, let's put the BS aside and be a true messenger of Christ.

🙄 O...k. We should applaud a supposed decline now? The numbers we see daily is around the total we.had up to June 30th. So, let's not applaud a disaster. The July 1st reopening is why we're here now.

Lockdowns don't solve the problem. You lock people in their homes for the weekend and have 7pm evening curfews. So, you really think this will solve the problem? The problem is better managed from increasing testing and contact tracing. If you look at the number of tests done.and the number of infections, we.can clearly see.the government is failing. By their own data, they have shown it's a disaster. Is the PM increasing medical resources (personnel, test kits, etc.)? Has the PM ordered the Ministry of Health to increase personnel for contact tracing?

If you identify more people infected or who were exposed to someone infected and ask them to quarantine and properly monitor them, the numbers will go down. You don't need a lockdown for this. This is not medical ingenuity. It's commonsense. The WHO said this iver and repeatedly. Why are we still stuck on lockdowns and curfews instead of actually attacking the problem. You have to control the virus, not control people. It seems the PM doesn't understand the difference.

Didn't Mr. Bannister mention the other day that they wanted to spend $20 million to build sidewalks? If you can find $20 million for sidewalks, you should be able to pay your creditors.

Hopefully Mr. Bannister gets well soon. It's interesting that we hear how Bahamians are not listening and doing their own thing and that's why we're not getting the numbers down. Then we hear Mr. Bannister did an interview with reporters without a mask.

Why are more and more politicians testing positive? Given the PM's statements about the population, then some of these guys are going to parties.

So...the weekend lockdown isn't working? But, we're reopened for tourism, which allows locals to travel to Miami. Interesting!
