So the Minister of Tourism Dionisio D’Aguilar had a big press conference to say how he was rolling out the new tourism programme  with the country to open on 15 October 2020.  The problem is if you come to The Bahamas, not only do you have to have a negative Covid test in place but you have to agree to quarantine for 14 days. Well who the hell is going to come here and be stuck in your hotel for 14 days? The Minister called it a clever name: Vacation In Place or VIP. Bullocks and public relations mumbo jumbo.

The heroine of Black Tuesday is dead and she was laid out  in Gambier House, the PLP’s National Headquarters on Thursday 10 September 2020.  She was buried in St Agnes Cemetery on 11 September 2020.

So now let’s remember this. Remember when just before the last storm was one thousand miles away, the Prime Minister Hubert Minnis announced that there was going to be an immediate lockdown for 7 days. No one could go anywhere. We were all going to die of Covid 19 if he didn’t do it. There was revolt in the streets. He got on the TV the next say day to say because the storm was coming, he allowed us to shop and the lockdown idea was suspended indefinitely. When he came back, he spoke nary a word about lockdown and

So Eyewitness News asked the Minister of Health Renward Wells on 9 September 2020 why he didn’t bring the Cuban nurses and doctors into The Bahamas to help with the severe shortage of Bahamian healthcare professionals in the face of the Covid crisis in The Bahamas. The Minister said that the Cubans have a problem in that they cannot speak English.  This is strange since Cuba has health care professionals all over the world including Jamaica, St Lucia and Barbados.  All of those countries speak English and none report language issues. You can say you don’t for ideological reasons want
