PROGRESSIVE Liberal Party Leader Philip Brave Davis was discharged from Emory University Hospital in Atlanta on Thursday.
The Official Opposition leader was there for treatment after testing positive for COVID-19 earlier this month.
PLP Chairman Fred Mitchell confirmed the details and sent a short video of Mr Davis leaving the facility with his daughter Dr Philippa Davis.
“…I circulated a video of the discharge from hospital yesterday in Atlanta of the leader of the party Philip Davis,” Mr Mitchell said in a voice note.
“He felt good as he walked out with his daughter from hospital. He will remain there for a while with his daughter. Let’s wish him well going forward and he hopes to see us soon.
“God is good.”
Previously Mr Davis was receiving treatment at Doctor’s Hospital for COVID-19, until he made the decision to be airlifted to a US hospital.
He explained that the decision was made to be closer to his daughter who is a senior critical care physician and has been on the front lines of the COVID-19 fight in the US.

Stop calling this guy “brave”. Please. It is not his given Christian name, and there is nothing “brave” about the man. He fled his country in a time of need, fled a medical system he created as a fat-cat politician, and instead used $$$ and his connections to gain special privileges.
There is nothing “brave” about this coward. STOP using that name. Now.

I know right! Even the PM used 'Brave' when he addressed his sickness last week. In official setting he should only be addressed by his official name.

Imagine for one minute the outcry, the outrage, the hysteria if US citizens with Covid 19 were accepted in the Bahamas...

If only we could somehow discharge this coward from The Bahamas forevermore.

It was right and fitting that he seek medical care where ever he could. He left a
bed free for some other sick person.
The glass is always overflowing as far as I am concerned.
Godspeed Mr: Brave Davis.
Your parents gave you the name BRAVE and you have lived up to your name.

Davis knows just how bad our healthcare system has become and so he ran from it as fast as he could with his tail between his legs.

His parents gave him the name Philp Edward — you could look it up. The only name he has lived up to is “Gravy.”

He is a lawyer and his daughter is a Doctor/ How very magnificent is that.
Education and hard work is the key.
There are many from the family of islands who went to school without shoes.
but they preserved. and did well.

They preserved, or they persevered? One is being pickled, the other is they carried on.

Yes indeed, Davis "preserved" well for himself and his family. But in doing so as a corrupt politician, all of that "preserving" came at great expense to the Bahamian people.

His discharge is only beneficial for the Bahamas if he resigns from politics (frontline and backdoor) ASAP!
