Is this going to be Sands' official daily duty over the next several months, i.e. simply reporting the number of confirmed Red China cases and the resulting number of deaths? Isn't there so much more that he should be doing and reporting on to us on a daily basis?

Please tell what else he should be doing and sharing. Then we could know whether to agree or not and then how to agitate for what more would be needed.

If he didn't report, you'd be actively complaining about that. Man........

Don't swear...Easter is around the corner.

**Mathematically, the true number killings can be 14, 28 or even 96?**
This unfortunate comrade's **7th killing,** illustrates **accuracy gap flaws** in the method government reports on fast-spreading coronavirus's killings of PopoulacesOrdinary. Nod once for yeah, twice for no?

With 40 confirmed cases and over 300 in quarantine, the government is only testing the sickest patients to confirm Covid-19, and quarantining everyone else. With a relatively low denominator (number positive for Covid-19), this is part of why the mortality percentage is so high. But only part of why...

Now a WHO expert is saying lockdowns may not be the best way to deal with this problem!

https://uk.news.yahoo.com/coronavirus-l…

Nothing the WHO says can be trusted anymore because nearly all senior officials in that organization are now beholden to the ruthless Xi Jinping communist regime. The WHO has become an international agent for the global domination agenda of Red China's evil government. And let's not forget that the Red China Virus was created by Xi Jinping's communist regime and first tested in a most vicious way on the Red Chinese people in Wahun. This speaks volumes to the ruthlessness of the leaders of Red China's communist government. Truly frightening that Red China's communist regime has started the deadly age of bio-warfare.

I’m curious: What would motivate Red China to unleash upon the world a virus that has shut down their own economy, and shut down the economies of all the wealthy nations in the world whom Red China relies upon to buy their goods and keep all their factories running? Just wondering what they’d have to gain, if your conspiracy theory is correct.

The tariff war with the US has totally changed Red China's game plan. They know now that they will no longer be able to bilk $550 billion a year out of the US....and their backs are up against the wall.

Still, tho: Beyond the tariff question, China remains the No. 2 economy in the world, behind the U.S., and the U.S. remains China’s largest customer, by far. I still don’t see how China benefits by crippling its own economy and the economy of its largest customer. And keep in mind, tariffs are paid by the end-user ... i.e. the purchasers and importers in the U.S. The Chinese do not pay tariffs on goods sold to the U.S. The buyer pays the tariff.

Further, Trump has slacked of a number of tariffs and they’ve completed a deal for massive purchase by China of U.S. farm goods. Sorry, but the “conspiracy theory” still does not compute. You don’t win a race by cutting off your right foot and your competitor’s left foot.

If it helps you any, just think of it as bio-engineered weapon experiment that ran amok on the people of its creator at the time of field testing....a creator possibly with a scorched earth outlook to its ideological goal of world domination. One thing is for sure, the Red China Virus, unlike the flu viruses we have grown accustomed to, is a highly infectious killer pathogen primarily targeted at removing from among the world's population the aged with pre-existing medical conditions, many of whom are persons of African descent. Some are beginning to think of it as a type of unleashed population control agent. There's certainly enough smoke out there involving highly secretaive pathogen research activities sponsored by the Bill Gate's Foundation to justify some of the suspicions embedded in the more outlandish conspiracy theories now floating around.

Respectfully ... and I mean that ... but, much as folks can wildly invoke the names of Bill Gates or George Soros, and “smoke” ... 2+2 does not equal 5. And it never will. We’ve had plagues and pandemics throughout history, before those people or Red China even existed. This is one of ‘em.

But only in very recent history has mankind had the level of technology needed to play serious games with Mother Nature. I am therefore not the least bit comforted by a "throughout history" view of pandemics. What can be done today in highly secretive labs around the world could never have been even dreamed of yesterday, let alone done. Bill Gates speaks with a wry smile on his face about all the research the Gate's Foundation is now involved in with key partners; research that is focused on developing regular vaccinations for 7 or 8 billion people that can be sold to governments around the world for their people. That's both big money and plenty power. It's an entirely new nightmarish age, undoubtedly with financially greedy and/or power hungry evil actors at play behind the scenes. It is what it is.

Respectfully, again ... Bill Gates does not need money so desperately that he would kill a few million people to get more. He and his wife are giving away $billions through their foundation. He has never shown any interest in gaining political power. Get real. I think you’re watching too many video thrillers or reading too many pot-boiler novels. Try to get some sleep ...

Your too respectful...and all too transparent. Have a Happy Passover.

Oh good grief ... now you’re claiming that I’m part of the International Jewish Conspiracy? I hope all this ends soon so you can go get some fresh air. You could use it.

I just knew that one would go over your head.

I just sent your name to Bill Gates. Better run! Hide! 🤣🤣🤣

POTUS STARTED THE TARIFF WAR, THEN STOPPED. WHY?

Tariffs already put in place are still in place. Only the next round of planned tariffs has been postponed.

Why the sudden surge in numbers? Is it possibly this is related to the employee at Wendy’s who served hundreds of customers at their drive-thru window? I’m sure they have the store’s tapes hence the prediction.

… are you the only person who didn't see the lines at the grocery stores, Aquapure and other places caused the panic caused by this idiotic government?

Perhaps it did, but perhaps the disease's the 14 day incubation and Bahamians failure to social distance had a role. when the first curfew and social distancing order came down Bahamian were still in bamboo shack and every where else without masks, bahamians wheb asked to back up a few feet refused. Early on i went about with a mask on to hear Bahamians tell me and i quote, "i should take it off and breath cause it aint that serious".

It is all about exponential growth. We can wake up this morning and that number can triple.

"To date, the Bahamas has a COVID-19 **mortality** rate of 17.5 percent, one of the highest in the world."

The D average don't know what **mortality** means. It means our **DEATH** RATE is one of the HIGHEST in the WORLD! Now I'm scared....

We also have one of the lowest level of testing in the world. If you only test those who are already very sick your death rate will be very high. They need to expand testing beyond only those who are very sick

I am begging PM Minnis at this point to have a complete shutdown for 4 weeks. The last 2 weeks should be open as a drive through food store.

The best way forward is to test everyone on New Providence and seperate those found infected from the general population.

And how would you propose to do that? Any suggestions for how to secure that many test kits given that literally every country in the world is experiencing a shortage? I'm sure the government would welcome solid ideas. Stay well.

Alternatively, those most vulnerable in our society could be isolated from everyone else. But that would be most Bahamians who are aged 60+ and/or morbidly obese with two or more significant existing health conditions. By my count that would be a majority of Bahamians.

Thank you Dr. Sands for telling us the truth about how deadly this virus is to Bahamains in particular.

Thank you for explaining why many more Bahamians will die from this, than those in other countries, because of the huge number of underlying health issues that Bahamians have.
You are giving us a better understanding as to why it is so important that we remain at home and are very careful about social distancing.

40% of us have 3 or more underlying issues. We know from the news reports that just a single underlying issue can be deadly with this virus. We see a large number of Afro-Americans dying in the US. They are dying in dispraportionate numbers because of undrlying health issues such as the ones we have 3 or more of.

Dr Sands is a great communicator

"*We see a large number of Afro-Americans dying in the US. They are dying in dispraportionate numbers because of undrlying health issues such as the ones we have 3 or more of.*"

Could be underlying issues.... But I understand that black patients receive "different" in hospital care under normal circumstances. Just think of how the store clerk treats a regular black Bahamian versus a white tourist who steps through the door. This is real.

Sadly, right you are.

I believe they are all doing their best. This is a tough one. no one really understands.

"***But some health professionals have wondered whether ventilators might actually make matters worse in certain patients, perhaps by igniting or worsening a harmful immune system reaction.***" -abcnews.com

This has been my theory all along. Well, they've gone partway on my theory.

They're speculating that the "ventilator" may be the cause of the high death rate. My theory is een nuttin wrong with the ventilator. My theory is the nurses and doctors **using** the ventilator don't know enough about managing a patient needing a ventilator.

They may know how to turn the machine on, they know how to adjust the settings on the machine, they know if they put the setting at a certain level it gives X amount of oxygen/pressure. My theory is the missing element is a DEEP understanding of biology. What's not happening is the nurses and doctors don't know how to adjust to *in the moment* biological changes. They apply one formula to all patients. It's the difference between a worker with a set of rules and the manager who has to assess the current environment and react to the environment, adjusting rules as needed.

That is what is killing patients at these dramatic rates, lack of knowledge in nurses and doctors. And these could be doctors in the profession for decades. Some of whom are supposed yo know how to ise the machines. There's alot of social promotion in the medical profession. This is my theory many died who didn't have to. I also predict that no hospital will admit it.

In some cases it doesn't make them bad doctors/nurses, they just dont "know". They tried everything **they knew** to do but a really sick patient just didn't make it.

And where there is no knowledge the people perish

And I dont mean to imply that every patient needing a ventilator would have survived. Im just giving my theory for the *unusually* high death rate.

The people on ventilators are on them because they need them. They would die quicker without them.

Yeah, I acknowledge a couple of things:

1.the patients are really ill
2.A ventilator could help
3.Some would still die even under the care of the most knowledgeable dictir in the world

What I have said all along Is, something is off.

Doctors who dont know me or my craxy theory are also now saying something is off. They also believe "some" of these patients shouldn't have died. They havent come up with a consensus on what the underlying problem is, but they think its linked to the ventilator. Theyre now opting to try everything **but** put patients on ventilators

It's why everything possible is being done to keep Boris Johnson, PM of the UK, off of a ventilator. Only one in five survive this Red China Virus once they are put on a ventilator.

Bahamians are on average the most unhealthy people on the planet. Speaks volumes about our quality and way of life, not to mention the complete failure of our public healthcare system when it comes to both standard of care and preventative care. We are as third world as it gets when it comes to healthcare and the greedy insurance companies have locked most Bahamians out of proper and/or affordable healthcare. Truly a very sad situation.

The real conundrum for our society is that keeping everyone locked-up in their homes and unexposed to the Red China Virus only means they will remain vulnerable to contracting whenever our tourist sector re-opens and the cruise ships are once again allowed to bring super spreaders back to our shores. The current consensus of the world's leading pandemic experts is that it will take approximately 18 months to develop an effective vaccination or serum recipe that can be rolled out on a global scale basis. After that it could then take a few years before most of the world's population is resistant or fully immunized. Some are even saying that an annual booster vaccination will be rquired for the Red China Virus going forward. Certainly not a rosy outlook for the tourism industry....too many people are going to be afraid to travel, period; especially as passengers in filthy floating hotels that are now known to be impossible to keep clean and therefore serve as deadly pathogen incubators. One thing is for sure....we can't all remain locked up in our homes with fear and high anxiety issues for the next 18 months, with a dead economy to boot. That's simply not doable under any circumstance. Put another way, keeping the curve of cases flattened so that healthcare facilities and providers are not overwhelmed may well ultimately prove to be an unworkable solution for the longer term.

So Mudda, is the country of China's not officially named The People's Republic Of China?

The very ruthless Xi-led communist regime's track record of inhumanity to the people of Red China who in any way are perceived to oppose the communist party's ideology and rules are well known and evidenced. One only has to look at what has happened to the Red Chinese people who practice the Muslim faith, or the communist regimes harvesting of kidneys and other organs from prisoners.

As you probably know, the one and only 'real' China is the "Republic of China" a/k/a ROC or Taiwan which is an island state where the non-communist Chinese fled in 1949 to escape persecution by the ruthless Mao communist regime.

**Dr Dahl-Regis admitted there is difficulty tracking contacts of confirmed cases.
“You would imagine if you have a Wendy’s worker who has serviced the public, it will be quite a challenge for that person to identify all possible contacts,” she said, several days after a Wendy's employee tested positive for the virus.**

GET TO THE ROOT OF THAT PROBLEM. CLOSE ALL FAST FOOD OPERATION.
FAST FOOD SHOULD NOT BE AN ESSENTIAL COMMODITY. LET BAHAMIANS STAY HOME AND COOK REAL FOOD. IF THEY NEED A QUICK COOKING LESSON FIND ME, WILL BE GLAD TO GIVE A LESSON.
