We must re-set to zero infections or we are going to be in serious trouble. How are we going to achieve that without another complete lock down? Government unwisely gave the community some rope and we are back to square one (actually we are in a much worse position than where we started from). So again I ask, what is the alternative to another total lock down?

I don’t understand why any of this has to be my problem. The Lyford Cay set are probably treating this like extended vacation time. I’m sensing some creative intimidation going on (our open secret is now official - keep that slave quiet). I don’t think the daughters of Pindling receive so much disrespect, and I don’t think the gaming brothers and that pastor with the private jet has to wonder how they will pay basic bills, buy food etc. She means more to us than even all the officially famous people out there - we don’t need to be always be around them to know when they’re nervous, annoyed, stressed, etc. We aren't privy to so many deeply personal things.

There are no needs for lockdowns anymore. There are several treatments against the virus that have greatly reduced the death rate. At this point destroying our economy is the worst option to follow.

Are you not keeping up with how this virus is progressing? It's not just about the death rate - many patients are taking months to recover and for many the virus looks to have caused long term health issues. We are not dealing with the flu where most people are ill for two weeks, they recover and they can get on with life as before. This is different. The spectrum of complication is very wide and for many people catching the virus, they can end up being permanently damaged. If this virus develops out of control there will be no economy left and many will die. So if we have to lock down for a few weeks more in order to send this virus into retreat then I am in favour. No tourist income will be lost due to the new quarantine restrictions and so if we are going to have a lock down, let's do it now.

And after a few weeks and it has gone do we stay closed until a vaccine? In which case most of the country will be unemployed and the country will be failed. At some point we will have to live with this virus.

Totally agree but living with it means we have to be able to outsmart it. So far we are collectively not playing a smart game.

Lockdown are not the sollution for a virus thats going nowhere, get over it already! How often do you wish to repeat the same cycle of lockdown, open, surge....lockdown, open surge. Its idiotic to think the outcome will be any different the second time around. There needs to be a sensible balance of economic stability along with safety measures, anything other than that will only sink the already drowning into more debt and peril. Remember the borrower is a slave to the lender.

The world is overpopulated. This is Nature's way of protecting the world - God told us that!

I think you mean it's Bill Gate's and Dr. Fauci's way!

whats that definition of insanity again?

REPOST:

.. lockdowns are a stalling tactic nothing more, it is not a cure! The compliant with lockdowns are still vulnerable if exposed to the virus. A good vaccine is the only cure and that is in the distant future.

The only sensible route is antibody testing using a high quality test. At least we can have some idea of who has been exposed and who has not. Those who have been exposed and are healthy can return to work as there is no concrete evidence of a person catching this virus twice. That will allow sectors of the economy to reopen. I said this three months ago, but lets continue to destroy the economy for a virus with a global mortality rate of 4%!! That makes more sense, right Minnis?

Until we realize that the government cannot really help win this covid battle......only if people, each taking personal responsibility, changing our actions, and doing what is sensible.....only then will we win this battle.....the government is helpless if the people do not comply.

Minnis needs a slap in the face until his lips flap and simultaneously a kick in the backside which will achieve the same result!

And this slap should have the full force and intensity of a LBT double-boob slap in order to keep him knocked down for the final count.
