NO social/physical distancing
customers are bringing in their OWN grocery bags,
that's a perfect storm
This behavior will guarantee the further spreading of COVID-19
SOMEBODY in MY Bahamas has to be a leader
to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 disease RULES have to be in place and FOLLOWED

the tribune stepped on the ball.
the man said to open food store till 10 pm and told people to wear mask to food store.
even the slow-to-update nassau guardian spoke before.

now they've added a new rule today "you won't be allowed in stores without a mask". I am going to bet plenty people will show up tomorrow not having heard this message, on the last day to shop, and after waiting 3hrs to get to the front of the line, people will be told they can't get in...but hey I'm sure theyve thought of the repercussions so what could go wrong?

I realize that we need to have an exam for any person who wants to become Prime Minister. No campaigning, being elected party leader or any of that nonsense. The person who scores the highest gets the job.
The questions should revolve around different scenarios and the first question could be something like:
If an infection is spread by person to person contact and you want to reduce spread you should:
a) do nothing
b) control the flow of crowds, practice social distancing and make policing more effective,
c) use government policies to make every come out their house at one time and bundle up together like its Junkanoo, or
d) make and then change rules everyday

Instead of complaining I'd like to offer a solution ......
There are many very easy (and inexpensive or free) to set up queue management platforms such as:
www.skiplino.com www.qless.com/queue-management/ And many others
If anybody knows any retailers please point this out to them. If enough people comment maybe they'll wake up and implement a solution because rest assured this is going to be our new normal for a while.
