as they will hold onto a result from 50 samples that took 4 months to process that there's no COVID variant.

Meanwhile the CDC has just said Americans shouldn't travel here because they're at risk for contracting COVID variants.

We could lie to ourselves forever but the world een on our run. I said WEEKS ago the dramatic rise in cases was likely due to VISITORS crossing the border and with persons suddenly dying and showing up critical in hospital, more than likely there were COVID variants here. But these guys buried their heads in the sand until crisis hit. What they feared, " the world thinking there were COVID variants here happened without them and without their mitigating action".

While it has been confirmed that the country is experiencing a third wave of Corona and also that the CDC has issued a travel advisory for the entire Bahamas, authorities seem to be dragging their feet in putting stricter measures in place to help control the virus. There were five or six schools on New Providence that reported children coming to school and testing positive and some of these schools had to be closed. A full lockdown will be too costly to a country in economic turmoil but some measure has to be taken, at least in the highly infected areas. There are reports of tourists refusing to wear masks on hotel properties and putting staff at risk

Why are so many places that has mass vaccinations seeing increases in covid numbers? Is there a relationship between the vaccine and the increasing numbers?

no the relationship is between the number of visitors coming from America. They are bringing COVID variants we have no immunity to and people are getting very sick and some are dying. It is somewhat ironic that the CDC trying to protect their citizens from us

Both true! Israel, England, Chile every single country once it’s V programs gets underway cases go up. Vaccinations force people to congregate and as such possibly are super spreader events in themselves also vaccinations temporarily impact immune system to deliver its payload which means it’s easier to contract than it already is...also there is pandemic fatigue setting in and well there’s the off chance bill gates along with some secret society of megalomaniacs are messing with a bunch bio software and taking it for test drive..but that’s a long shot ;) lol

The vaccine does not stop the virus, it does however severely limit how bad it gets and massively reduces the number of deaths. The UK is seeing daily deaths down to single digits (and down 69% from a week ago), whilst cases are down around 3,00 a day (17% down on a week ago and down from 60,000 at the start of the year). The USA had deaths over 2,000 a day a short while ago, now it is in the 7-800 range, cases around 70,000 from 250,000. This is the same in most countries that have widespread use of the vaccine. Bahamas is under 5% vaccinated, which is not widespread.

on long term vaccines only worsen the situation because we will get quadrillions of asymptomatic super spreaders.

But also 700 active active cases in population off 400,000 is hardly a wave...
And with 194 deaths in over a year we re officially 80% below the average yearly deaths due to heart disease and diet related illnesses....and we still have not tabled the banning of fried chicken or mandated morning walks..hmmm.. not mention that 78% of those that died or were hospitalized of/with covid 19 in usa were clinically obese...

you've swallowed the koolaid on "only 700 cases". A visitor asked the question how many cases we had, when given the number they then asked about the protocol for testing. The response was *you only have to test if you have symptoms*. The visitor said, oh, I see, no wonder your numbers are so low.

This is not an accident. The administration has a tourism marketing plan specifically geared, it seems, at falsifying numbers... errors of ommission they call it in accounting. If they don't count it, it doesn't exist. Its so insidious that theyve begun to believe their own tales. So what happens is the only time they take action is when things get ridiculously out of control because it's the only time they can't deny something is happening. Even up to yesteday Jeff Lloyd says he's not getting into any talk about a 3rd wave... as he has to forcibly close 6 schools???!!!??? This is the kind of "strategic thinking" that's leading our country. "Admit nothing"

It’s travesty that rather than deal with reality our government would rather deprive our children of education....

I hate koolaid but yes the official count is always off by a magnitude of 10, - there is just no good reason to get test unless you need it for travel or work or visiting Grammy ...the point is still same when far less than 1% of the nation has a cold and 3-5 people are in ICU - what are we wringing our hands about? Particularly when Mac and cheese and mayonnaise are killing far more people every year...?

you forget also these 250+ who die from shootings every year. By same logic there must be 24h curfew because of these shootings
