Once again he shows that he is a complete idiot. You're asking people to come on vacation and stay at the hotel for 14 days. Keep in mind everywhere that you can stay isn't near a beach and may not have anything on property such as a restuarant. You also have Airbnb going as well. Is he completely stupid?

Where do we find these people? You pay thousands of dollars (assuming you're going to one of the major properties) to go to the beach, hang around the pool, get a few drinks and then go back home. Right! Most vacations are going to be less than 14 days, so why travel to.be locked up at a hotel or an Airbnb home?

Also, he's mentioning how tourism is prepared for this re-opening. I'm not sure if they are prepared, but one thing that's clearly missing is whether the Ministry of Health is.prepared. How much of a morom can he be that for a health crisis, he doesn't think to assess or ask the Ministry of Health to assess their capacity to handle a reopening. Please just fire this dumbass and move on.

Lol. He pulled the race card and mentioned clubs frequented by police being allowed to open.

The process should be the same across the board. So, if he's closed then everyone should be closed..No exceptions. If the PM only listens depending on the melanin in your skin or the size of your bank book, we have a problem. It's sad and funny that in a country of black folks who would.have endured so much over the years and who still face issues today, have to deal with inequality from our leaders.

Isn't this contradictory? We get blacklisted by the OECD, France and The Netherlands, now we get an award. Seems laughable. The same folks to stab us in the back on Monday gives us an award on Tuesday. This is a comedy show, right?

Why would she do all.of that are work with everyone watching? Most office "romance" that crosses the line at the office happens after hours with no one around except the two involved. Not condoning any form of inappropriate office behavior, it's just unbelievable that someone would do all of that in front of all of their colleagues while in breach of policies on access to the cashier's csge. Her and the boyfriend are clearly not thinking straight. As.asked by TalRussell, what happened with the boyfriend? Surely, there should be some.penalty assessed to him.

He increased the prices on some of the items. In the midst of the pandemic, we were getting price gouging. Now he's reducing inventory. That's fine. But, can someone check what he's doing with prices. Unless I'm making a mistake, I've seen about 2 or 3 price changes on a couple of items in the store since March. To be fair, I have seen a lot of strange things pricewise with other companies as well. How does $12.00 pack of toilet paper prior to Covid curfews and lockdowns suddenly cost $30.00 after curfews and lockdowns? Is it Is a royal flush?

Interesting! You have people staffed in the government whi pass inspection on buildings that have building code violations. So, how about fixing that problem as well instead of pretending that don't exist.

There are some issues that the government would be not know is happening and these should be brought to their attention. However, other than the look the other way inspections, you have well known violations that are just being allowed to happen. Too many games.

This is a sad story. It reads like a depressing drama movie. Things need to be improved. To be honest, a lot of things that the doctor has pointed out, should be in place at all times. We are dealing with Covid-19 but everyday people have other issues that pop up. Hospitals are giant petri dish for bacteria and viruses. After Covid-19 is in the rearview mirror we need to take a hard look on how we handle things in general. If tourist come here and Covid-19 is no longer an issue, do we assume they can't have anything that can have a huge negative medical impact on us? Do we assume that medical facilities are safer from the spread of disease simply because Covid is handled? Even on smaller matters people want to disinfect their food from the foodstore to get rid of potential Covid virus on their groceries but in normal time they're not objecting to th air groceries being dragged across the checkout counter that is still wet from raw meat. Then days later wondering how they got food poisoning. We have to protect ourselves more, beyond Covid-19.

So, let's see. We allowed them to be here, but we didn't understand fully what that meant. Is that what we're reading here?

Wow! To say this was excessive is an understatement.

trueBahamian says...

Agreed. If you moved from one island to the next, you know what island the person resides in. If you have a visitor to the Bahamas then it is very likely that they infected locals and those locals infected others.

I took the statement from the government that the cases seen were locals who travelled abroad. How.can we say with 100% certainty that what they said is true?
