The Solution to the Crisis

The law does not justify the lockdown of healthy citizens. It only justifies the containment of those who pose a health risk to the general public. We need a solution that balances constitutional rights, economic sustainability, and safety.
This is a summary of our short term plan to bring some normalcy to our community. 
​
The Floating Hospital
Cruise ships are sitting in out waters free of charge. Some cruise companies have been actively selling their perfectly good cruise ships for scrap metal because it would be more expensive to maintain them just sitting in the ocean. We are aware of 33 ships that have already been destroyed and recycled during the lockdowns. With that understanding the COI government will negotiate with a cruise company to acquire one of their ships to use as a Floating Hospital and COVID Command Center

Hospital ships were used in New York during the early days of the Pandemic. 

See all the ships that were scrapped or sold in 2020 in this video or skip it and read the rest of the plan first.

​The ship would be docked in the Nassau Harbour and would be used for the following:
1. All hospitalized Covid patients would be housed and treated on the ship. This includes ICU

• This will lessen the load on PMH.
• PMH will continue to focus on non COVID related cases

2. Some persons who have tested positive for the virus will be required to stay on the ship until they have tested negative.

• Persons who are asymptomatic will be kept on a separate floor from those who are symptomatic.
• This is to avoid persons who may have received a false positive being put at risk.
• Persons will be fed healthy meals and snacks paid for by the government
• We will provide meals and vitamin supplements that will Boost the immune system. Including natural remedies also known as Bush Medicine

3. Some persons who have been exposed to the Virus will quarantine on the ship.

• Many cannot afford to be quarantined for 2 weeks.
• They will be housed on a separate floor from persons who have tested positive.
• Their meals will be provided.
• This system will reduce the amount of people exposed because those who test positive will be on the ship and not in society.

Remember the ship is not just for hospitalized persons. There are currently above 2500 active cases. in the Bahamas. This would justify the use of the ship to keep them away from society and keep the society safe while not fully locked down.

How would we fund the acquisition? We would acquire the ship by one of the following

1. By leasing the ship or;
2. By purchasing one of the ships airmarked for demolition
   

​
If Leased

1. We would make a lease agreement with the Cruise line that would involve little to no upfront payment.
2. We would take over the maintenance cost of the ship.
3. We would deduct the cost of the lease from future cruise line docking fees, customs duties and “per head” taxes.

If Purchased Outright

1. We would mortgage the ships with payments to be deducted from future cruise line docking fees, customs duties and “per head” taxes.
2. Once the COVID emergency has ended the ship will be commissioned as a floating hospital for the southern islands.

​
​Additional measures
1. All persons entering and leaving the Bahamas must be tested

• Tested when leaving so contact tracing can be done if a guest may have entered on a false negative test.

We will immediately initiate free testing for all Bahamians

• Mass testing through out the Bahamas
• Weekly (free testing for workers)
• Test must differentiate between the Flu and COVID

2. Testing will be accompanied by aggressive thorough contact tracing.

3. Cloth masks are clearly not effective. We will encourage the use of N95 masks

• Massive import of N95

Technology

• Mandatory COVID Response App
• Customers will scan a QR Code on entering a business, church, or other establishment.
• This assists with contact tracing.
• Once a person scans businesses will be notified if the person is positive or was exposed.
• The person will be cleared once they receive negative testing.
• Persons will receive a notification if they were exposed to the virus
• i.Notification will instruct them to self quarantine at home
  
• ii.Task force will visit the home and conduct testing of entire family
  
• iii.Task force will visit every day at random times
  
• iv.The law will prevent employers from laying off quarantined citizens
• Persons are also able to see if they were at a place where and when a person with the virus was.
• Public receive text messages of movements of those infected: businesses & restaurants
• Interactive maps about infection sites

End corrupt policies and nonsensical rules

1. End travel visa program
   1. Allow passengers to produce negative tests at port of travel
   2. Create a digital portal where labs and other medical centers will report all test results
   3. Airline and COVID officer will validate test in the system to approve travel.
2. Immediately end nonsensical curfews.
   1. They serve no scientific purpose
   2. We will have time restrictions on businesses that encourage crowds and restrict parties and other crowded events for the time being.
3. End the emergency orders
   1. Laws can be put in place to restrict the movement of contagious persons​

Hotels

• Hotels would become bubble environments
• For the time being only guests and staff would be allowed on hotel premises.

• Rooms for some staff. Convert Ballrooms to living quarters for others
• Staff will operate on a 1-2 week rotation
  • Staff can volunteer for longer tours of duty
• Staff will be tested on arrival, each week and before going home

• Mass Education Campaign
• We will focus on protecting persons with comobilities and the elderly.
  • We will ensure that all treatment options are available.
• We will make proven treatment more readily available.
  • Ivermectin
  • Hydroxychloroquine
• Vaccine

• Will be available for those who want it
• Antigen test to determine if needed
• Vaccine will be treated as a treatment not a cure
