what if i said 2 out of 3 people show now symptoms at all? what if is said that the actual real world mortality rate was less than common influenza? would anyone believe me?

You would be wrong and that's why no one would believe you.

you are correct ! It's .00026 % of the population .

Thank you breaking down the numbers for the public as to what testing costs.

**"When asked last month if officials identified a target number of tests to complete each day, Dr Merceline Dahl-Regis, coordinator of the government’s COVID-19 response, did not answer directly, saying at the time that the number of tests being performed––about 36 per day––was adequate."**

What a joke, they aren't even testing 36 people per day, if you look at the daily charts the testing range is 5-10 people per day, A JOKE!!!

Sands and his crew had many months to gather more than enough tests to test the entire population, but he and Minnis were too busy licking the boots of Xi Jinping and the Yellow Chinese species!

On many occasions I said that Sands showed his incompetence by not proactively ordering more tests from Feb/ March of this year, and when they did order tests they did not order swabs. He communicated more clearly than Minnis, but did not aggressively or creatively address the COVID crisis

This is a distractions as he seeks to put himself forth as the martyr candidate. Real money is behind him to contest Minnis, but in truth, neither is fit to lead this country!

Please stop putting politics in this situation, we have to become ONE unify country right now, I am a student in Canada right now and I can tell you that this virus doesn’t care who made wrong discussions in the past and who is PLP & FNM. The fact is the country has 390,000 citizens and we only tested under 3,000. The first mistake is that we already opened the boarder domestically which means people who have the virus in Nassau who doesn’t know they have it had already gone to the family islands. This is a mistake.

@LawMan98... where is the politics in stating the fact that the good Dr. did not do something that a good Dr. would, by simply ordering necessary tests and PPE's in the face of an emerging pandemic? He could have done it but didn't and is now saying we need to do more testing? Sands first mistake was not pushing for CLOSING the border AFTER the first covid case was diagnosed, something any sensible non doctor would have suggested! His statements have the stench of sour grapes!

As for politics, just watch and see if his words and actions are not political-- they are in HIS interest and certainly are not in the national interest!

In truth neither Sands nor Minnis is fit to lead but we certainly know beyond a shadow of doubt which one of them is the most unfit to lead - undeniably Minnis!

They got those 10,000 swab test that those pesky folks they snuck in under total lockdown hidden under all the FEMA stuff for Abaco and Grand Bahama

But he had no problem letting that plane full of people in because they “did not appear to show any symptoms of Covid!” Too bad he didn’t grow a set until he was no longer a puppet. He had the platform to speak his mind loud and proud and now he’s going to question protocol?

**Even the unaccounted for hundreds to thousands deaded, and faked graveyard interned** knows that the colony's former substantive health minister's bravery would never have surfaced had he been permitted to remain a** loyal** substantive crown minister to **Minnis's Imperialists red coats organization.**
He, comrade Dr. Duane, heself has lots still to personally account for and not be alllowed hide behind his exiting from **Minnis's Imperialists red coats organization.** Nod once for yeah, Twice for no?

you want children over two years old tested to travel? Stick that swab up your nose into your eardrum and get back to me . As being tested to travel the swab has to be driven up into your sinus 2 inches ! It is not for the faint hearted.

Actually, ma comrade, the **once landed in the country** swaps caught up in the Minnis's Imperialists' Red Shirts Organisation's private plane scandal have long been declared too cruel a nose obsolete test method - now given way to a no longer required painful up back end nose method test method COVID-13.
Hard to now fathom how the **once landed in the country** but never got around using test swaps had cost the crown's former substantive health minister would be so moved to stand up on floor House from opposition benches to expose the secret ways the **Minnis's Imperialists' Red Coats Oraganisation?**

IF you can check Yahoo news sometime today you would see that Las Vegas open on Monday.. dem buggers already carrying on as though there was no Corona at all. They not wearing mask, partying like crazy, no protocol what so ever. Some of those may end up here.

There is also a video in youtube showing people cavorting and drinking on lake geneva where the WHO headquarters is.

They do not need to test. They need to open the economy.

This is like groundhog day. We're at the same point we were at in March before 100,000 people died in the US. *This is just a hoax*. And we waited to act until the severe infections, that were inevitable, started coming in. This round may, "may", be even more serious because people are tired of restrictions. In fact why don't we have carnival in August to celebrate *COVID Over*?

Again, this is why Sands makes no sense and is very deceitful. He is the brillant doctor, was the substantive Min of Health ane made no preparations and developed no plan for covid. All he did was hold press conferences. he sounds smart, to the average Bahamian, and dresses nice so he was praised for doing nothing.

I think that you will find that Dr. Dahl-Regis put a stop to an order of 10,000 tests because she felt that they were too expensive. Yet Bahamasair can burn through $10 million in 3 months.

Guess bahamaair 600 or 700 staff more important tha the lives of 390,000 Bahamians.

It's hard to understand and accept an airline's board being chaired by someone like Tommy Turnquest? Talk about a recipe for financial disaster!

We should require visitors to have tested negative before allowing them entry, intelligent people will understand this and be more likely to risk travel to,a country which has strict protocols and an extremely low amount of cases. Would you want to risk travel to one of the US hot spots tomorrow?
A cautious approach and low rates of infection could actually make our destination more popular i the short term.

It is mportant to begin to restart the economy but not in the way being targeted to flung the doors wide open come July 1, 2020. Nod once for yeah, Twice for no?
