The toxic Corona Virus in The Bahamas seems to be bringing all the political would-bee out of the woods. They seem to be going rudderless, wild and crazy about what should be done to deal with the contagion in our country.

The American authorities have just announced that COVID-19 is not going anywhere - anytime soon. So, as the political heat in the country gets hotter, and our general election draws nearer with each passing day – Bahamians should be prepared to ask every political hopeful, what their policies are – and plans to deal with the deadly virus – if they are successfully elected to serve the people.

Do not get distracted brothers and sisters. Get to know all those who seek to represent us, and what they stand for. They are giving the impression that they could do a better job.

Then, it is our right to question them about what is it that they will do different in a fluid COVID-19 environment.

Anyone could criticise and pretend to be the preferred Competent Authority; and that’s exactly what they are doing in the press, social media, and on the toilet. They are talking nanny left right and centre; and some of us are swallowing it all day, and everyday – without a break.

But talk is cheap, and money buys land. What are your COVID-19 strategy PLP, DNA, and all the rest? Just criticisms and propaganda to help get elected?

That will not be sufficient. The Bahamian people have more sense than that!

We are paying attention to all the noise in the market, and so far – opposition forces in the nation are just barking their azzes off, and they really believe that that is cute and vote-catching.

Oh, what madness and folly is this, in these serious times?
