INSIGHT: We’ll all be winners if we each do what we can in the fight against COVID

Sorry, but both countries being surrounded by water is where the similarities end.

New Zealanders are generally better educated than Bahamians, both because of their educational system, and the desire of their young people to learn.

New Zealanders are generally more tolerant to rules & regulations than Bahamians.

New Zealand has a thriving modern economy.

New Zealand has a strong healthcare system and infrastructure.

New Zealand doesn't rely on tourism as it's primary source of government income, nor does it rely on tourism as it's primary source of jobs for it's population.

New Zealand doesn't put all it's development into one city or town (i.e. Nassau).

The gap between the have's and have-nots is significantly greater in The Bahamas (i.e. no middle class).

I could go on and on, but I just thought of another similarity between the two countries, - they both drive on the same side of the road.!!

The reason they got the virus under control in April/May is because Dr Sands and team urged them to shut the border. That was the right thing to do, with exception that they denied Bahamians entry to their own country.

We are an isolated community. This should have been easier to control. but under the guidance of the Competent Authority and Health Minister Dr Minnis, and unlike New Zealand, we threw away the most valuable weapon we had again at the virus...a border
