the deaths are extremely troubling. Are these people dying because theyre that ill, because we dont have proper equipment or because they're not getting proper care?

and if the backlog is cleared and we subscribed to MS Excel, why are location pending numbers still going up?

I agree there should be no reason for the 102 location pending number.

It is evidence that they have no idea what they are doing. Screams of incompetence.

Makes one wonder if this same incompetence is the cause of a number of deaths.

I suspect this is why Brave Davis went to the US for treatment. Sad, because he has had a large part to play in our current health facilities.

Based on our statistics , about 45 people die each and every week in the Bahamas.

With or without covid 19.

Seem there is no rise in death rate, only a rise in those being “labeled” covid 19 deaths.

Fake pandemic. Wake up people.

Tell that to the people who watched their family members get sick with COVID-19 and then died. I can think of two people who have lost, otherwise perfectly healthy, family members.
