*He said of this number, 150 persons that participate in the trial would have had to test negative for the virus, while the other half would have had to test positive.*

So they need 150 who *previously* tested positive or *currently* test positive? To be comparable to PCR I would have thought it would have to be the latter, in which case it might take a lot longer than a month to validate the equipment.

Tribune, may I suggest next time you try asking some pertinent questions before posting.

You would have thought Cable Bahamas could digitally track which are the most watched channels in The Bahamas. They can then get rid of all the surplus crap that hardly anyone watches. Alternatively, they could offer an a-la-carte plan where the customer can pick & choose a set number of channels for a fixed monthly fee. I doubt there are many people who regularly watch more than a dozen channels out of the 200-300 currently offered.
Most of us here probably grew up with 3 or 4 channels on the TV at most

Pigs get fed, hogs get slaughtered

Oh boy !!!

*"When these type viruses start to rapidly mutate, it’s an indication that they are beginning to weaken"*

Wrong. Virus mutation can mean it is weakening or getting stronger or more contagious

I think you're the one who is being stupid if you think 95% effective means no-one can become infected even after being vaccinated. Middle school math taught me that 95% means 5% can still become infected. Maybe your math class taught you something different ? (shrug)

Also, you do realize that viruses interact with your genetic material don't you?
How the hell do you think they replicate in your body ? Let me explain:
Viruses "reprogram" their host (in this case the cells in your body) by providing instructions (in the form of viral DNA or RNA), on how to copy the viral genome, express it's genes and then use the host's resources to make the viral proteins, which are then assembled (again by your body), to make more copies of the virus particles.

Probably better to think of mRNA as a prescription sent by Big Pharma Doctor to tell your body what antibody & T-cell treatment to produce.

And, the Astra Zeneca vaccine is what they call a Viral Vector vaccine where the virus is genetically modified outside the human body (not in your body) to become harmless. Same goes for J&J & Sputnik vaccines. Viral Vector technology has been around since the 1970's and has been used in the fight of many infectious diseases including Ebola, Zika, Malaria, HIV, Influenza etc.
mRNA technology has been around for 20 years, although this is the first time it's been used in a vaccine, the technology has been used in cancer treatment

Duh!! 95% effective is not 100% effective. No-one has ever claimed that any of the vaccines are 100% effective. Stop with your fear-mongering nonsense.

Agreed. 27 new cases in Grand Bahama & 13 in Nassau suggests people are letting down their guard and asking for more lockdowns
