CASUALTIES OF COVID CRISIS: Baha Mar begins mass layoffs just as flights resume
The Governor of California just ordered the re-shutdown of 75% of that state which, if it were a country, would have the fifth largest economy in the world. Things are now so bad in so many states in the US that other states are imposing quarantine requirements on persons coming their way from the hot spot states. Not a good sign at all.
The very negative trends have been there for all too see for a few weeks now and there was absolutely every reason for Minnis and D'Aguilar to postpone the re-opening of our country to travellers from the US. It was already clear that the few dare devil Americans who venture our way will be adding little hard currency to our economy in relation to the Covid-19 exposure risks and related costs. Keeping our borders closed to US visitors for at least the month of July was a no-brainer but Minnis and D'Aguilar couldn't even get that decision right. How do they explain re-opening our economy to a few dare devil tourists on the same day that the EU has closed its borders to visitors from the US?
We are looking more and more like the banana republic nation that many people around the world now claim we have become. I guess it's time for us to now try grow banana trees and pick a few hands of bananas whenever we can as part of our new diet. For those of us who can fish, we can only hope and pray the Dominicans and Cubans leave us with enough fish in our territorial waters so that we can enjoy the occasional seafood meal.

Just how stupid can Minnis and D'Aguilar be in reopening our borders today to travellers from the US when even the major hotel operators in our country have annouced the postponement of their re-opening dates. And to add insult to injury, even all of Europe has shutdown its borders today to travellers from the US for an indefinite period. Minnis and D'Aguilar must rank high among the two dumbest politicians our country has ever had. Mark my words, in the coming weeks these two dim wits are going to be personally responsible for having caused the deaths of many elderly and more vulnerable Bahamians with underlying medical conditions.
This pig-headed decision of Minnis and D'Aguilar to pre-maturely open our borders today to American visitors is the height of irresponsibility and the two of them should not go unpunished for the serious consequences that will surely follow. Their very foolish decision is tantamount to a serious and very deliberate criminal act that greatly endangers the lives of many of our people. And for what? Nothing but a few tourist dollars from a few dare devil tourists, some of whom are bound to be laden with Covid-19 even though they may show no symptoms on arrival. This is sheer insanity and madness!

Reckless to open the Bahamian borders with Florida haemorrhaging infections...opening the infection floodgates to the Bahamas will desolate their islands..
