First, let me say that I think U.S. medical care is far superior to rationed socialized medicine in my opinion.
Regarding your letter, the major flaw is your reliance on statistics provided by the Chinese Communist Party regarding the numbers of infected and deaths. There is substantial evidence that the numbers they have provided are mere fairy tales. It is China's authoritarian state that suppressed reportage of the initial outbreak and, in cahoots with the World Health Organization, downplayed the severity of the outbreak. These officials allowed the festivities in Wuhan to go on unhindered and spread the virus throughout the world. The U.S., and by proxy, The Bahamas and the entire Caribbean would most likely not be in this predicament if China had addressed the issue at its onset.
I also agree that there must be solutions short of shutting down the entire economy of a nation. Unfortunately for us in The Bahamas, THAT DECISION was made by other governments. Our reliance on tourism means that those decisions will continue to be made by others for the foreseeable future.

... the absence of a free media in China makes it impossible to believe any stats that come out of that country! Online trends are showing that even Chinese citizens are suspicious of the reports coming out of their own country!

China stacked up body's like cord wood but you will never know!

And they are still secretly stacking up thousands and thousands of bodies as a second wave of their Red China Virus sweeps through every densely populated metropolitan center in Communist China.

Bimini Rick,
The US health care system sucks. What don't you see in the complete failure?
Health care for profit, where a vast majority of people struggle just to pay health care costs.
Half of all bankruptcies are due to medical bills. Fighting with insurance companies just to get needed treatment? Yes, medical care in the US is "superior" for those who can afford it. The US spends way more than any other country in the world on healthcare and has less than stellar outcomes. The vast majority of Americans would prefer single payer universal health care, as polls show. Now, ask yourself why it can't happen. There should be no profit in healthcare. None. Abolish the insurance companies. They produce nothing of value for society.

The sad thing is that medical care isn't even superior to those who can afford it. On average it is inferior to the top systems in Europe. Anyone who had treatment both in the US and Europe will be able to attest to this. The reason why this comes up every time, is because the US attracts top talent by it's sheer size and wealth. Yes, you are going to get world class treatment, but only in specialized fields.

To most Bahamians, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and Orlando, and what they see on TV is the whole of the US.

This is not true, Porcupine. No need to insult Bahamians just because, in this instance, someone has a different view point than you.

Preach …………… The US airs all of its dirty laundry to the world …….. and it is funky right now ……….. Don't hear this coming from Canada, hey???

Hum, Yes the US has learned a lesson. This administration in it's second term will no doubt see to it that it doesn't happen again.
