How long will it take people to get it that what we are seeing today is the fallout from what happened BEFORE the Easter holiday. **Jan had 300+ cases, Feb had 300+ cases. In March the hospitalizations restarted and people started dying. Cases doubled to 600. Easter was APRIL 2nd. If you don't examine for yourself they will continue with the propaganda**. Nothing changed in our behaviour between January and March. You know what changed? **DAguilar told us**. HE said **we have doubled our visitor count every month from January**.

The focus moved from enforcing the Emergency Orders to promoting the vaccines. The emergency protocols brought the country through the first two waves and whilst the vaccines may have been another tool in the fight, the competent authority seem to want to throw away everything else for the vaccine. In fact Minnis seem to want throw everyone else away who didn’t want to take those vaccines.

Funny how cases spiked in all these nations right after they started giving out vaccines.

even funnier that it coincided with the start of door to door political campaigning.

it's a COVID variant. That was clear from March. But they refused to acknowledge it until the CDC called Renward wells out on his *there's no COVID variant in the Bahanas* statement. One week after Wells made his statement the CDC releases 2 sentences, ~*don't go to the Bahamas. Risk of being infected with COVID variant*. Then Dal Reghis pops up and says oh btw, we have some test results that might indicate a COVID variant.

The deaths and hospitalizations are the indicator. It was not just a case of more people infected. And unless they produce a test result to say there's now a new "Bahamas" strain of the virus, some tourist brought the variant here on a boat or a plane

if we were looking at the data and searching for a cause, the story should read *What happened in March?*. The catalyst happened then. By April it was too late, the exponential community spread was well underway

Dr Sands made the most important decision of this entire pandemic. When he saw the first case, he asked for the borders to be closed (i did not agree with preventing bahamians returning, but be that as it may), as a doctor he understood that the very first case was the most important to act on. Dr Minnis does the reverse, when cases are low he talks about opening junkanoo shacks and mass campaigning. Then when things PREDICTABLY get completely out control, he starts telling us we need to behave. I don't know if that means he's non scientific and not a doctor. cases spiked exponentially 3weeks after DR Minnis took over as health minister

Our borders should have long ago been closed to all travellers from Communist China (as the 'source' country of COVID-19 that outrightly lies about its own number of cases and deaths), from India (as the 'hottest' COVID-19 country on the planet at the moment) and from other 'hot' COVID-19 countries around the world as identified by the CDC.

And because 85%+ of our tourist market is the US and Canada, we should leave our borders open to air arrival tourists, but not cruise ship passengers, from these two countries in an effort to carefully balance the dreadful health consequences of the pandemic for our people against the devastating economic consequences it is having on our economy and, by extension, the lives of our people.

The gross incompetence of Minnis and D'Aguilar has all along been nothing short of pitifully staggering to say the least.

Why is the Covid accompanied by deep and permanent Constitutional changes to belittle us. True leadership does not take orders from foreign entities or power as if an agent.

You've clearly still got that head of yours up your ....... lol

Y’all dizzy people still don’t get it!
You change your minds more often than most people change underwear, when Minnis first implemented the lockdowns alla yinna was screaming and hollering.
Now, in retrospect, y’all think that was the best thing since sliced bread. And of course the cause of the huge spike in Covid cases is the influx of mostly vaccinated tourists, lets blame da white furriners dem as always. Send money but stay ya ass home!
Of course the spike in cases couldn’t possibly have anything to do with our ignorant non vaccinated, non mask wearing and unhygienic people all crease up at Fish Fry, Potters Cay, the beaches and the many illegal private gatherings and parties. Bahamians never have and never will accept any responsibility for their own irresponsible behavior and bad habits.
SSDD!!!

you must be talking to a different set of people. I know I said closing the border was the thing to do **BUT** I did not agree with preventing bahamians from returning. My position hasn't changed from then to now. As to tourists bringing the COVID variant... When you in a crisis, check the usual suspects first. People was at potters cay and arawak cay in oct nov dec jan and feb and cases were going DOWN. Something different started happening in March. The evidence today suggests that something different was a covid variant noone had immunity to

you speak the truth messenger, Bahamians will never accept responsibility for their behavior, its always "someone", "somebody" elses fault.

Gotta keep those virus numbers up. More vaccine sales. KaChing! KaChing!

Yup, that too. Not just population control of the worst possible kind.

I can see you're still begging for your mark of the beast. Would you prefer to get your vaccine passport number tatooed on your forearm or implanted in you by way of a micro-chip with wi fi capability? lol

Oops! "tattooed"

They were saying if an unvaccinated person comes in contact with a vaccinated person for a period of time, then the unvaccinated person will test positive for Covid-19 for a period of time. Then after a few days he will test negative.

They also say that if an unprotected comes into contact with another unprotected for a period of time one of them usually gets a positive result, then after a few months will have a negative result of another unwanted and uncared for statistic adding to the negative gene pool we’re currently blessed with.

I gotta laugh at all the conspiracy theories! Talking about micro chips.

This time of year when I was young the old folks talked of this thing they called catching the check. Their helth seemed to be always challenged not by the winter's cold but a damp cold then hot. I recall them wearing their head scarfs, up to four undershirts and long socks. They avoided damp surfaces and were just fearful of this time of year draft. Another would pop up in October. The worst should come when the old folks kept alcohol on hand because the rains joined in but they always wiped our heads with alcohol and ensured our clothing was always dry. Coincidentally it's now called Covid season and you are registered as a case.

Another product of the negative gene pool.
I rest my case!

So they opened the borders, economy, and schools and the infection numbers went up.

Now they're acting surprised!

No cases went up with vaccination roll-out. India says it ran out of AZ but we wonder. Seems Vaxers spreading something strange beside herd stupidity.
