They are hinting of a lockdown where foodstores and pharmacies are completely closed.

And mentioned it again this afternoon.

According to them you all going to the foodstore to socialize.

This is my point exactly : You cannot lock the country down unless you are going so subsidize your population with a Bahamian style CERB, which we cannot do due to economic constraints.

Bills do not suddenly disappear just because the country is locked down, and there are now no employment prospects for the vast majority of Bahamians thanks to the economic destruction wrought by these restrictive measures. I hope that Bahamians are prepared for 10-20 years of economic hard times, because that is currently what we have on the table.

Maybe I was unclear, and if so I apologize ... it just seems that Mr. Hartnell seems somewhat selective about which Bahamians he interviews about the Covid economic impact.

Clamshell.......you just don’t get it. This isn’t the US where the government is sending you a $600 stimulus check once a week on top of the unemployment insurance you can collect. Keep the economy shutdown in the Bahamas much longer and you’ll see what happens. The rich won’t be hurting but everyone else will. You can bank on it!

I understand why people may seem to think that there is some underlying racial motive here, but think about this in a practical sense : Our conchy joe businessmen are the pulse of our Bahamian economy. They are a good barometer for what the current economic situation may be.

I would encourage the historically inclined readers on this forum to brush up on the history of Rhodesia/Zimbabwe. Sir Pindling idolized Mugabe so much that our nation faces/will face many of the very same issues that Mugabe's did/currently does.

This has been an interesting series: Neil Hartnell interviews every rich white businessman in the country to hear them cry in their beer about how tough their lives are right now.

Good points but 7pm lockdown is crazy for people with office jobs. It may work for Mr Wrinkle because he either has helpers to run errands for him or he has the flexibility to leave the construction site if he has some personal errands to run.

Maybe we should concentrate on keeping the lights on before we try launching satellites to track yachts. Just a thought.

The increase in infections is proof that lockdowns don’t work. Look at Taiwan 24 million people island next to China, no lockdowns, only 7 deaths and less than half of the number of cases of the Bahamas (and they are testing everyone).
