Unhealthy lifestyle to blame

Of the 184 countries listed on the Global COVID-19 Index (GCI) Recovery Dashboard, The Bahamas finds itself ranked dead last, with Denmark, Australia, Thailand, Malaysia, Latvia, Taiwan, Canada, New Zealand, Finland and the United Kingdom all being ranked in the top ten. Many of these countries would be classified as either developed or first world, as all of them are allies of the United States, with Canada, the United Kingdom, Latvia and Denmark being members of NATO. Our most important and strategic ally, the United States, ranks 132.

Now we're on the right road, we can begin hard task of rebuilding

The Prime Minister outdid himself during his national address this past Monday. Clearly he has a new crew of advisers and I am especially pleased to note that Dr. Dayl-Regis is back in the loop as lead spokesperson for the health protocols and management of the pandemic on behalf of the Bahamian people and the administration.

Drilling for oil in The Bahamas would be a disaster

The recent oil spill on the southeast coast of Mauritius is a reminder that drilling for oil in The Bahamas is a recipe for disaster.

The 157 will be to blame

A germ carrier has been defined as a person or thing that carries and transmits harmful microorganisms.

Prime Minister's interesting display of political theatre

In an interesting display of political theatre, the prime minister decided to throw the Bahamian people to the wolves in order to save his own political hide. Yet another quality unbecoming of a national leader.

Remembering Neville Smith

The passing of the Hon Justice Neville Smith adds to the rich tapestry of the invaluable contributions that Barbadians have made and continue to make to the development of the Bahamas in various professional capacities, such as teaching, nursing, law-enforcement, engineering, law and medicine.

Unity is key in the face of threat from this virus

Covid-19 has exposed a dangerous fault-line in our public discourse. Our political leaders are not singing from the same sheet of music to address the pandemic. As a result, we the people are getting mixed messages. The lack of clarity plus the loutish behaviour of some of us has put the nation at risk.

Death rate is alarming

The Nassau Guardian reported on Sunday that there have been two additional COVID-19 deaths recorded by the Ministry of Health, pushing the overall total to 29 – all since March.

Gross inexperience and insensitivity

At this point in the global efforts against COVID-19, there is enough information to determine what has worked and what has not.

PM needs our support

The unfortunate illness of Brave Davis and the dramatic rise in deaths and hospitalizations convince all reasonable observers of the Bahamian society that COVID-19 is a serious virus. Frankly, I don’t wish to engage with anyone on this topic who believes otherwise. My advice to such people is that they have private conversations with others who might be able to help them think through this.

Say No to maskholes

Wear a mask. Keep a six-foot distance. Wash your hands.

Sorry language of the lockdown

“Enough is enough. Enough is enough stop running”.

We can see virus has very little regard for social status

As of August 20, the United States of America has a total of 5,550,029 confirmed COVID-19 infections, with 173,306 deaths.

Ms Kelly should retract

Catherine Kelly, in a recent column, obviously thought she was dispensing good natured business advice that would help us during the pandemic-forced shut-down of our tourism economy.

Minnis must remember he said it is the people's time

The announcement that Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) Leader Philip “Brave” Davis had contracted the COVID-19 virus is a stern reminder that the virus is no respecter of persons. We must pray for the PLP leader and the 1,300 plus Bahamians who have been diagnosed with COVID-19.

We must take more offence whenever we hear the N word

It will take a stretch of credulity to try and make the case that Bahamians are inherently racist. Black, brown, white or any hue in between, we are wedded to the principle of equality.

Time to bring back Bay Street

Tribune Business on Thursday 13th August “Commercial Landlords Urged…” realtor David Morley tells the desperate story of where the country is today and perhaps portends where we are on the way to, on our current trajectory.

Funds needed in quick time for rental help

We would like to commend the Government of the Bahamas for the work of the National Food Distribution Task Force, which has impacted the lives of thousands of needy Bahamians in search of food in the COVID-19 pandemic. Those among us that are most vulnerable have been targeted to receive assistance to the tune of 1 million dollars per week. While this feat is quite admirable, thousands of unemployed Bahamians have been unable to pay their rent, mortgages, bank loans and other commitments.

Insulted by this trash talk

I must, outrightly, disclose that I myself have neither been informed nor benefitted by a personal read concerning “conduct” and its “code” – as expounded upon, evidently, in 1955 England, the Lord High Chancellor, Viscount Kilmuir, at the time the highest ranking judicial officer in Britain (see The Graduate’s Letter- to- Editor, The Tribune of Monday, August 10th, 2020). I have not had the privilege yet.

An inspirational leader in waiting

Would you kindly permit me some of your valuable space in your prestigious newspaper to share my thoughts on the Hon. Shanendon Cartwright.

We need to care for those who have hit rock bottom

The Tribune broke the story that Prime Minister Dr Hubert Minnis will be going into self-quarantine due to possible exposure to COVID-19 at the Cecil Wallace-Whitfield Centre.

Some fast food for thought

Yesterday morning while shopping at the Golden Gates shopping centre I noticed that Super Value wasn’t the only hub of activity.

Life can't go on like this past September

So, we are on lockdown until September 30, 2020. Let’s pray that everything works out by then. We are really a lockdown-weary people right now. Life cannot continue on this road beyond September – in my opinion.

Leaders who are going nowhere

The Tribune reported that there were 48 new COVID-19 cases on Saturday.

To make wise decisions, we need the facts

COVID-19 started in December 2019; possibly earlier. In order to contain the virus, The Bahamas and countries around the world went into lockdown. We were asked to be patient and told the lockdown would not last long.
