We need to put America at level 4 because they are transmitting covid like crazy. If they can put us on level 2 ,and we are still wearing masks and social distancing ,then we can put them on level 4.

This lame government had sufficient time to take corrective actions. But they allow the tourists to come here and walk around with no masks. They are not enforcing quarantine for persons who WHo test positive. They continue to reduce travel restrictions. They approved what could be superspreader events, like carnival and beer festivals. Homecomings are already planned. But the biggest factor is the thousands of tourists coming from infected areas. And not just infected states but infections of new variants and strains. And they tell you the vaccines have zero effectiveness against these new variants. Then they tell you ‘come get vaccinated’. Then they tell you ‘O but quite a bit of the vaccines have expired because Bahamians have stopped taking them.’ Why take vaccines that are ineffective

explain Shanghai...China have banned international flights in and out since the start of the pandemic and yet huge swathes of the city are locked down...kind of disproves your theory about tourism doesn't it?

Not saying you're wrong but keep in mind that the Chinese government has insisted on using their local vaccine which is far inferior to western vaccines.

not anymore.

3 times sinovac better then pfizer for t cell immunity.

I guess my point is, once the virus is in a population its in the population, if you can't locate absolutely everyone that has it (and China is a good example) then you have to live with it

Does it? How comes the islands with few or no tourists have little or no Covid?

China hasn't banned International travel in totality since the start of the pandemic. Stop spreading mistruths. Even at this minute under an actual travel ban people are still allowed to travel internationally *if they have justification*. Secondly **every country's story is different because our borders are different. "Our" story points directly at tourism related spikes**

From 1918 intelligent people realized TRAVEL was the greatest risk of contagion spread. That's when they began quarantining travellers, i.e. sailors. What they also realized was quarantine was very difficult to maintain, humans always found ways around unnatural confinement

Well actually no one ( or hardly anyone) is getting seriously ill and yes there are some Covid related deaths. So government may have a lazie faire approach: Let things work themselves out and not to intervene unless things get seriously out-of-control. This is the approach most of the world has adopted.. not to let Covid cripple the world anymore. Which is understandable… and many countries, Bahamas included, cannot afford more economic fallout from Covid. Bring on that happy face again.

“*We’re seeing it’s basically more related to COVID fatigue,” Dr Swann said yesterday. “There are persons who are pushing for mask mandates to be removed and some of them are just going on and removing those mask mandates themselves, so the reality is we strongly believe in the science and science is proving true.”*"

**the only COVID fatigue that's had an impact on number of cases is that from Chester Cooper and the hotel bosses because they tired tourists cant feel "free".**

We have clear evidence that if there is no significant tourist influx and Bahamians party like its 1969, cases do NOT increase. October through February 2021.

It makes sense, once a variant cycles the community, there's no one else to infect. People could have 50 carnivals and cases wont go up. Youre basically in a natural bubble. The new cycle starts when that tourist infected with a NEW strain nobody see before crosses the border

Sure, it could be a Bahamian crossing the border with the new strain, but when you have over 100,000 tourists coming to the island in a month from the great land of source infections and *I een wearing no mask*, vs possibly 3000 bahamians travelling, the odds say who's more likely to be the carrier

October 2021 through Feb 2022

When are these people ever going to understand that BAHAMIANS ARE NOT ON YOUR RUN.

John and Ours you need to chill.

What do you want? Lockdown? Zero Covid.

If people need to live with Covid, then do it.

Yes the tourists bring, but otherwise we end up eating breadbasket.

Just let it rip.

Omicrom BA2 is even milder than BA1.

The CDC can call any level. It list credibility among its own citizens and no one checking.

No. **I dont want them to lockdown. Ive said over and over and over again that what's saving us now is the fact that the last 2 strains havent shown themselves to be deadly.**

In fact, I point out tgat people can party without a spike, IF, we (either) remove tourist influx (or control it.)

What I address above is **specifically** interpretation of data. That's it. Nothing is more annoying than explanations that ignore data in front of our eyes. Especially when they pull out the *why y'all cant behave* card.

There is no data/evidence to back up your claims.
There have been huge spikes on for example some of the family islands that were supposedly restricted to outsiders and/or tourists.
Simply put the Bahamas needs to up its rate of vaccinations to stop serious complications and it’s mortality.
Also studies prove there is no such thing as a ‘natural bubble’, or ‘natural immunity’ from a previous infection, once the vaccine and/or antibodies one wear off one can be reinfected by the same strain.
No one can believe the numbers coming from the MOH as they do not include any deaths and cases diagnosed with gov’t issued or any kind of rapid tests.

The country doesn’t need lockdown or zero Covid. But if you know the tourists are coming from the highly infected areas and you give them more freedom and latitude than Bahamians or even more than some have in the own country, then what messages are you sending? Don’t forget Bahamians are working in n those hotels and in Cable Beach and downtown where tourists wander around without masks. And they are known for walking up on people. And whilst the symptoms of these new Covid variants may be more mild, what abo the long term effects? And notice the Black tourists do wear masks.

Comrades, *what does it say about we colony's own now that an explosive' COVID-19 Outbreak has so alarmed North Korea's Kim Jong-un that the Supreme Leader has personally taken upon emself to publicly appear only if wearing a face covering .... *But not even a death toll of *800+ motivates a single House-elected MP nor their* lowly politically appointed sanctified after becoming fatigued-out on attending ribbon cutting ceremonies to thinks to lead *by face covering example. ... *Long Live On we Queen/King to save from declarant we colony a *Republic. ― Yes?

That is what they were elected for.

To oust the elected medical dictators and shush the unelected ones.

Bahamian people smart. The Canadians and French just reelected their dictators.

800 people have died from Covid since Wednesday? Is that what you're saying???? OMG that's terrible !!!

pandemic.
#There have also been two more virus related deaths confirmed, pushing the death toll to 800 Reading is fundamental, but comprehension is key

Communist Red China has our government treating us like lambs being led to the slaughter house. At least Swann isn't wearing a mask. LMAO

The world clearly got it wrong. Decades from now they'll report on the millions of people who died from ventilator misuse at the start of COVID in 2020. Then they'll report on the strange phenomena that had countries following each other on doomed reopening strategies. Then they'll report on tourist economies who put economy above public health.

But, Long COVID is real, lots of people are being left with some really strange medical complications. Can you imagine eating making you sick post COVID? "Weird"

Another thing is long vaccine adverse effects.

The nirdic countries have started reporting on it. But the studies are being shunned.

This by far the greatest risk for all those under age 65 without pre-existing high risk medical conditions who foolishly allowed themselves to be coerced into getting multiple jabs of these experimental vaccines.

True. I get that medical professionals have to act even in the face of incomplete knowledge but this vaccine campaign and the refusal to listen to alternate ideas was anything but *first do no harm*

The government certainly did all in its power to make damn sure this surge came!

As first-world countries were reporting new surges all over the globe, the PLP was busily rolling back Covid protocols as fast as they could.

The current surge was **UNQUESTIONABLY** intentionally motivated by hopes of getting their fat fingers on more rounds of Covid emergency relief funds to play with!!

Now they're gonna work themselves into knots trying to explain why carnival is safe and increasing participation from 500 to 1200 makes sense. All while ignoring that their "controls" still resulted in a spike because nothing outsmarts COVID and a travel vessel

Global vaccine results are not being read by WHO PAHO and Bahamian doctors staying the Covid script narrative toward full vaccination for each human or be locked out of jobs and a life New World Order. This is the first time in world history that a vaccine is ultimate with no science correction.
