Well, when he set the election date he was salivating for another lockdown just to extend the emergency order.

Let people try another way.

Drs. Minnis and Sands need to forever keep their peace.

PLP will have a lot of deaths on their hands. Election is over. They have NO plan for Covid

Never did!! All they did was exploit the COVID-19 crisis and play on the emotions of gullible Bahamian people by politicizing the Pandemic. Brave Davis knew damn well he had no practical solutions to slow the spread of the virus. Instead, he gave in to public pressure in order to secure votes by reducing restrictions. So here we are! And a lot of people are going to start dying again as this latest outbreak continues to proliferate. This “New Day” is beginning to look like “Doomsday”.

**You've clearly discounted the greased down hill ball election crowding and campaigning set off**. That was exactly 4 weeks ago and literally nothing to do with the PLP. Consider the possibility that those persons were infected on September 16th or by people infected on September 16th, then go listen to Dr Chetty's COVID timeline

**Real doctors warned us that we'd find out in a few weeks.**

Just as I said when Minnis was in power and struggling with covid outbreaks......no government plan can keep covid out of your body, only you can. Davis was running around 'blasting' every move Minnis made and that wasn't helping. Now, Minnis is running around 'blasting' every move Davis makes .....and that is not helping this desperate situation we're in ......at all.

Minnis had a plan ...... Brave has none

That’s right! He did have a plan. But the Bahamian people voted him out of office because they didn’t like his plan. So now I ask the Bahamian people….. Now what??? What’s the alternative???

So according to real doctors who examine data... COVID has a clear cycle. Education, data collection, tracing and early treatment is the prescribed approach to battling the disease. This ALL looks like fallout from another of Dr Minnis' ill advised seat of the pants decisions. The FNM would be well advised to run in the next direction

The Bahamian people voted for this incompetent mess. They complained when a scientist/doctor tried to scientifically combat this deadly virus and were more than eager to hand this crisis over to the same incompetent con men of the plp. I pray for my Bahamas. Please get vaccinated, wear masks and hold back from gathering in groups of unvaccinated persons.

These politicians so dry up, Minnis only opposing for the sake of opposing like they all do when their out of power. Many powerless politicians run to these newspapers an will oppose your pet gold fish in an article if they have too just to stay relevant in the minds of Bahamians voters, it's a old tactic thats played out in the eyes of the people. We the people know the former administration global ranking in the Covid- 19 Global Response Chart its all over the internet. We the people also know every previous administration economic track record for the past 48 years as well , thats all over the internet too in Moody, S&P and IMF Bahamas Economic Reports. So go figure........buddy!!!!

He cant be serious. Why do reporters allow politicians to say things that dont make sense? These people are dying from the spread Dr Minnis caused. Remember July 2021 crammed airports with homeporting and no testing? **Remember the ill advised general election 4 weeks ago? 1 week to feel symptoms of infection, 1 week for someone to sit at home believing bush tea working, 1 week for them to start feeling like bush tea een working no more, 1 week to develop (untreated) into pneumonia.**

Who is advising Dr Minnis? This is his fault

Sad part is during his time in he had less to say now that he is out he as seamlessly learned how to speak to the media whom he once always ignored. I dont see any plan they had other than lock down.

The utterly disgraceful Minnis has zero credibility to blast or castigate anyone about anything. His voice rightfully catches no ear and the same applies for the FNM party as a whole as long as the grossly incompetent and imbecilic Minnis remains leader of the opposition.

That his Covid death house of glass is destroyed and grim with death while in power, by simply breaking down Braves glass tower at its foundation he is attempting to revamp his phantom of political ligitimacy. The public believes he is blaming Brave for the hardships and Covid deaths under his failed watch. The grim reality.

roc wit doc did say "The Ingraham err is over. Now the same applies to him

THE HUBERT MINNIS err is over.no longer PM no longer the competent authority, no more the most honourable.

God be thanked The Minnis err is over.

era... but I guess since your talking about Minnis, err works just as well

So you corrected birdie and made a mistake in your correction. D grade

For all those persons who expected a magic wand to be wheezed about and everything is accomplished in seconds are in some form of fairy tale fantasy, this country does not run on autopilot where one administration works flow into another administration with everything left soundly in place, every or most all employee upon being employed looks forward to or expects a probation period, at least three months, the FNM upon being elected into office took the first three months vacation, came back with no plans, After four weeks it is only fair to allow our new employees their probation period, had the FNM been more concern about our health instead of an election and focused on the pandemic with plans from the get-go, then things would have already been in place. True to word Dr. Minnis it is so sad that you could not interact with the Bahamian people, you never had time to talk to us or the media when you would have been ***relevant***, now every opportunity you get seems like you want to eat the mic from being so close to it, sorry bro you ***ain't relevant*** no more, now is a good time to enjoy some boiled fish. Oh, and can you please tell Mr. Dames to try to lock up the persons responsible for opening the road you closed. I would love to see this. GOD bless the young lady's soul that was lost because of this nasty act.

Colin Powell, a former US secretary of Defense, died over the weekend from complications related to Covid. He was 84years old and he fully vaccinated. A great human being, May he rest in peace.

It is very sad that Hubert Minnis is trying to politicize the Covid pandemic when it is so tragic as many Bahamians and peoples around the world are falling ill to the virus and many are losing their lives, or seeing and experiencing family members coworkers and loved ones lose their lives in numbers unprecedented in this lifetime.
..
.

The cold, hard facts are Covid-19 numbers around the world have been on the decline for at least two months and so have the number of deaths. Another easily verifiable fact is that The Bahamas lost more lives to Covid-19 in recent days than some countries have lost since the pandemic began. The fact is the pandemic response in this country has been grossly mismanaged in the last few months, Grossly so. And whilst Minnis (and Duane Sands) now attempt to point fingers and cast blame a lot of the mismanagement was under their administration.
.
.
Start with the availability of vaccines in the country. Minnis both as prime minister and the competent authority threw caution to the wind saying vaccinated people didn't have to wear masks, they could have indoor dining and they can have family gatherings as long as everyone attending were vaccinated. He then went on to allow foreigners and including tourists to come into the country without being tested. Some were required to take tests after entering the country, but this never happened as some never showed up to be tested and they could not be located by local authorities. the science and the number of new cases and increased deaths proved these were gross and deadly errors.
.
.Then came Minnis 'snap election,' The first thing he holler out was, " only vaccinated people could campaign.' This may have been good in principle, but even Blind Blake could see that most of the people campaiging and carousing were not vaccinate. In all the camps, do some parties has less crowds and more order. And so the not only gathered in Nassau and on Free[port but flew to many Family Islands. Super spreader events for sure. And then came the election. The early polls was a total disaster. No sense of order and huge and unruly crowds at times. The main election was much better and more orderly but many people stayed away for fear of contracting the virus and based on what they saw of the early polls. And the science will confirm that many of the new cases and deaths being witnessed today stems from the election and the related campaigning. plus at least two other factors.
.
.

POINTS TO PONDER: Too many people are becoming infected in their homes. These are usually older people who hardly leave their homes. And they get infected by people they live with or people who come to visit them. THEY DIDNT TELL VACCINATED PEOPLE TO WEAR MASKS IN THE HOME OR IF THEY LIVE WITH OLDER PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT VACCINATED. The vaccines suppress the disease and the symptoms. So whilst a vaccinated person may not get severely ill, they can pass the virus on to others.
.

TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE GETTING INFECTED IN THE HOSPITALS. Many go in for minor surgery on non-life threatening illnesses and die from covid. One school distract in the US had 6,000 students in quarantine just a few days after school re-opened. They had required that all teachers and other school employees be vaccinated. So the kids caught the virus and took it home to other family members, some older ones who died. So the schools had to close and go to virtual classes, until they figure out a safe vaccine for the school children. Does the same thing happen in hospitals?

IS THERE TOO MUCH PARTYING IN THE COUNTRY STILL? Minnis says the numbers increased because Davis relaxed the curfew hours. But the 14-day window since the curfew hours have been shortened has not yet passed. And, as a matter of fact, the number of new cases have been declining over the past few days. So the surge from the election and the campaigning is obvious.

.
.
DR Anthony Fauci (who's credibility is incredible) now says persons who take the John and Johnson "one shot" vaccine must now take a second shot. He says data shows the efficacy rate of the 'one shot' vaccine drops from 90 percent to 40 percent after four months. And the data shows that the vaccine should be two shots and not just one. BUT FAUCI RECCOMENDS that those who take a second shot Should NOT take J&J but one of the other brands, Moderna or Pfizer.

WTF? Minnis must have memory issues or he's totally lost it altogether. He must have forgotten that he was the one that called an election during the worst COVID surge ever!

Regardless how he tries to duck out. He is 100% responsible for the current spike in COVID-19!

Is there intentional manipulation of the Covid numbers. Why does it appear that whenever the Covid numbers decline, the daily numbers are not reported? For example yesterday the news reported that there were 163 new cases from Wednesday to Saturday. So over a four day period that averages out to 40 - 41 cases a day compared to over 300 plus cases a day in August and early September. That’s an over 70 percent decline in daily new cases. The number of active cases in the country and hospitalizations has also declined. And it is expected that after a ‘natural lag’ the number of Covid deaths will also decline. Not discounting the fact that these deaths were unnecessarily high since August and points to gross mismanagement of the pandemic, And not to forget declining numbers are being realized despite the country being 95 percent open. In their final days in office the Minnis administration seem to push vaccinations exclusively rather than other safety measures and early treatment for Covid patients . Persons who were supposed to be in quarantine were spotted in food stores, restaurants and banks and some even went to work as usual.
