Ms. Gibson has some good ideas there. The challenge now is that money is tight. What should happen is the police should see what things they can do now to tackle this issue. Also, social services should look more into these matters. The church should also be stepping in here. Neighbors have to be neighbors too. It will take everybody to make an effort to chip in.
NIB needs to do better with collecting contributions. Punishment has to be levied for those noncompliant. Although, people are looking for assistance, people have to understand the government can not sustain this assistance indefinitely. Minty isn't coming in as it was pre-pandemic, so money is tight.
The government, however, should manage the crisis better which will allow some businesses to stay open which will keep people employed. This will reduce some of the strain on the system.
Sounds like the company responsible for this don't fully understand their system. If you set up a virtual learning system, you should know how many people could possibly be on that system and you should sufficient resources to handle way beyond that number as you may need to add other islands at a later date. Also, taking into account more users ensures your system can sustain the load.
Technical issues can occur for any number if reasons. But, this seems like a miscalculation by the vendor.
The union President said there were issues before the school opened. So, the first thing is, was the system properly tested before going live? To the other person commenting above about a potential hacking, we should ask if the government invested in network security. Of.course, a really good hacker can beat the best systems. But, we can safely assume that a really good hacker wouldn't be interested in the Ministry of Education in the Bahamas. They would find a more interesting target.
Lol. We should be grateful for his leadership. Sorry, what did I miss? This is just total utter arrogance. The PM has made quite a bit of mistakes that is quite costly for this country. I'm not a fan of the opposition either. Anyone looking objectively at the current handling of this crisis will point to the July 1st reopening as the genesis of our current dilemma. Now in the middle of medical chaos, the PM and the genius Minister of Tourism want to reopen again. This is clearly not a bright thing to do. But if course, this is "exemplary" handling of the crisis. A complete banana republic response and a bunch of yes men applauding our destruction.
To state that the government's performance is exemplary is amusing. We're down this road now because of the ill-advised reopening on July 1st. This was clear. This current situation shouldn't become a ping pong game of politics. Bad decisions were made and bad decisions continue to be made. There are some of us that hope for the best for our nation and we are really fed up with the bullshit from both sides of the aisle. Some of.us can bury our heads in the sand and say. "Great job Mr. PM!". But, logic and statistics don't move on politics. The people should be more compliant, yes. But, the government screwed up July 1st. Now in the midst of a complete disaster, they're full.speed ahead for another ill-advised reopening. Completely asinine! We vsnt get out of this problem if the government keeps.finding ways to exacerbate it.
And when we emerge from this lockdown, how many businesses are left? A lot of people in this country don't gave money to cover three to four weeks of food in one shot. You have to consider that.
If we punish people who violate curfews and who have parties, etc. we will solve part of the problem. The government needs to make better decisions. Out numbers were controlled prior to July 1st. We're going back to a reopening and our numbers are not under control. Also. I've yet to hear of a real strategy to handle increased cases which we will have when we reopen. The healthcare system is already collapsing under the strain. So, my friend we don't need a lockdown we need sensible solutions from people other than the idiots in Parliament.
Can the PM grow a pair and fire this clown? D'Aguilar makes a donkey look like a genius. With him and the PM and others making such a blunder with this crisis, they're destroying our economy and overwhelming the healthcare system. Tourism will not be fixed this year. This is a write-off. Focus on getting the numbers under control and keeping local businesses open.
For those not adhering to rules, enforce the rules. This is not rocket science.
This country is in.a sad place. We're stuck between two useless parties.

They were telling pharmacies before to do curbside as well. Clearly, there's no thought put into this process.
