The Healthcare system has collapsed.

Sands continues to be a major disappointment. He, like Minnis, knows full well that our entire dysfunctional and grossly under-resourced public health system was on life support long before COVID-19 came along.

The country is in need of a real Minister or Ministress of health at this time, first to inspire our health workers so they can return to the frontline, second to manage our COVID crises. This is war and without our frontline, we will defiantly be quickly defeated as it now shows. We would fall faster than Afghanistan fell. The question now is can the FNM find someone to take up this task, because the current health minister seems to only make matters worse.

I wish sands would just shut up!

Dying of covid versus dying with a positive covid test are two different positions. An honest public assessment would bring much needed clarity.

A Perfect Agent:

A Perfect Agent is a person who is an agent, but not aware of being an agent. That Perfect Agent is totally immersed and indoctrinated by the enemy's agenda; he believes in the indoctrinated tenets and executes them with righteous fervor, and with righteous indignation enthusiastically targets those he perceives as non-believers.

Possibly a very good official for the coming Inquisition.

Perhaps Sands needs to visit the Ministry of Health website, click on 'health statistics', then click on 'mortality' and have a good hard look at the 2014 numbers for leading causes of death per 100,000 people in The Bahamas. The numbers were compiled by the Health Information and Research Unit of The Bahamas Department of Statistics and made available to the public in August 2017.

The leading causes of death in 2014 were as follows:

Heart disease 135 deaths per 100,000 people;
Cancer 102 deaths per 100,000 people;
External Causes (Accidents, Violence and Poisonings) 67 deaths per 100,000 people;
Stroke 38 deaths per 100,000 people;
Diabetes 30 deaths per 100,000 people.

The statistical info for leading causes of death for years after 2014 is not yet available on the Ministry of Health's website for whatever reason. But it's unlikely the rates that would be shown for the years since 2014 have gotten any better.

Over the past 18 months we've had 333 COVID-19 deaths in The Bahamas according to public health officials. Some believe that number has been skewed to the high side for political reasons, but that's a story for another day.

The 333 COVID-19 deaths so far equate to about 55 deaths per 100,000 people calculated as follows:

333 ➗ (18 ➗ 12) ✖️ (100,000 ➗ 400,000) = 55.5, where the population of The Bahamas is assumed to be about 400,000 souls.

All the scaremongering by our elected officials and their appointees is really baseless when you consider that the average person living in The Bahamas has a greater chance of dying from so many other things.

Incidentally, you have about a 133 in 100,000 chance of being raped in The Bahamas, nearly three times more than the likelihood of you dying from COVID-19.

For those of you interested in learning much more about COVID-19 and the vaccines, the latest research studies published by the Israeli government are generally regarded as the gold standard. So far, these studies support the greatest amount of ongoing T Cell and B Cell immunity being achieved through the development of natural immunity, i.e., those who have been infected and recovered from COVID-19.

And it now seems the novel experimental vaccines only provide waning protection for a period up to 8 months, with unknown potential long-term side-effects will only become known with the passage of significant time.

Sands continues to be a major disappointment. He, like Minnis, knows full well that our entire dysfunctional and grossly under-resourced public health system was on life support long before COVID-19 came along.

So, 55 COVID deaths per year is okay with you ? At what number do you think it's not okay?

I'm guessing the homicide statistics are going to be pretty similar (per 100,000) so no problem there also, right?

ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzz..........

Exactamundo !

Slavery implies the loss of human rights and freedoms to a bigger “power”. The loss of these to the power of disease is normal. Anyone who has been ill, even with a cold, knows this.
The loss of these to a government which is using disease as its leverage to take away the choice as to whether these are lost to disease or tyranny is the “new normal” ?

I applauded the work done in the early stages of this “pandemic” from a public health perspective. I admired Dr Sands for his common sense backed by his medical education. We know the public health measures imposed on our nation worked and gave us COVID FREE STATUS. What went wrong? There are a LOT of unanswered and (dare I even suggest, forbidden questions).

Lawrence and Lydia Rodriquez were a couple for 21 years who shared — four children, — 18-year-old twins Nathan and Ethan; son Adam, 16; and daughter Synphonia, 11. Their parents — **didn't trust** the COVID-19 vaccine. — The Texas couple. Lydia and Lawrence — did not get vaccinated because they **distrusted vaccines due to misinformation.** — As Lydia remained in the ICU, Lawrence —became — **deaded** — to complications of the disease. — On August. 2, — **Just 14 days** later on, August. 16, — **Lydia, joined, Lawrence,** in becoming — COVID **deaded.** — Lydia's last dying wish to her sister. — Please promise me that our kids — **will get vaccinated.** — Yes

No, but only because you, like so many in the politically bent main stream media, choose not to tell us any sobbing stories about persons who have died as a result of getting jabbed with these novel warp speed developed experimental vaccines. Constantly cherry picking outlier stories of your fancy to suit your own political narrative and agenda only serves to destroy your credibility.

@ the minority **10% determined remain unvaccinated.

ZZZZZZzzzzzzzz.........

Boy, you sleepy today. Heavy night last night ?

Not really. Just no time for indulging nonsense. Getting ready to go fly fishing for a week with a couple of my good buddies on the Snake River near the town of Jackson in Wyoming.

Wife and daughter just got back last week from Jackson Hole & Snake River. Said it was beautiful. Hope water level is okay given the drought Wyoming is having this year. Tight lines.

I wonder when this guy practiced medicine and he prescribed a med and the patient didnt respind well or had an allergic reaction, did he just prescribe another round of the same thing?

Probably not.

Then why us he a stuck record these days? Whe is he opposed to the use of medication all of a sudden?

He said on the radio he got 2,astrazeneca and one pfizer dose.

He was telling people to get one AZ AND ONW PFIZER.

Did George Floyd die from covid?
