True, but we don't know the long term effects of any treatment (medications, medical procedure, implants etc) until well into their life cycle. Same applies to foods. What about astronauts going into space ? Nobody knew the long term effects of experiencing zero gravity for such long periods, but it sure didn't stop us from doing it.

So what is the real number then?
Also, we all know that flu is passed on when people mingle socially, or at work, or at school. People have not been able to do that in 2020 as much as normal, not to mention that people have been more rigorous in washing their hands more often, and wearing masks. That is more likely to be the logical reason for the decreased flu cases. And there is (and has been for many years) a rapid test for flu, which can easily tell the difference between the viruses

And one other thing, the virus infection rate is exponential, not linear. That's what the 'R Number' is all about - how many other people does an infected person pass it on to. As the number of cases goes up, the virus multiplies exponentially within the population, so your estimate of 8.25 years is way off the mark

I too question the number, but it's all we have to go on at the moment. I think people would be more accepting of the seriousness of the disease if it had physical symptoms akin to Smallpox & Measles etc, not to mention it would make identification of the infected a whole lot easier (but not 100% certain).
And, by the way, Cancer, Homicide & car accidents are not contagious - not a good comparison

I would bet there are many people out there who know more about the vaccines, than you appear to know. I don't know where you get your information from, (I know it's not MSM) but I would really like to review your source material, if possible.

I think the families of the 400,000 who have already died in the US, might disagree with you on this point. Sure, 99% survivability sounds great, until you think of it in terms of 1% of US population probably won't survive. That's about 3 Million people who are likely to die. In your opinion, at what survivability rate should we start to worry?

*"The bioweapon "vaccine" will not stop Covid, it's already mutated making most of them obsolete."*

All viruses mutate, it's part of their evolutionary life cycle, just like all cell based life including humans. Some mutate at a faster rate than others. RNA viruses like COVID-19, Measles, HIV & Influenza are more prone to mutations than DNA viruses such as Smallpox, HPV & Herpes, which tend to mutate at a slower rate.

It's interesting that when we hear or see the word "mutation" it automatically conjures up images of freakish and deadly changes, when in reality, most mutations are not a big deal, and in some cases can lead to a weaker virus.
I personally see no reason why the current crop of vaccines shouldn't work with the latest variants. From what I've researched, the mutation (D614G) is on the spike protein, which is the part of the virus that helps it get into our cells, thus making it more infectious, but not necessarily more deadly. The next several months will tell us a lot about the virus and the vaccines, as more and more people get vaccinated. Just remember, once you are vaccinated, you can still carry the virus and transmit it to those who haven't been vaccinated. The vaccine ONLY protects you, since it teaches your body to produce the appropriate antibodies to fight the virus

So how does the other party (not at fault), get their vehicle repaired or medical bills paid? You expect them to pay for everything themselves even though they were just minding their own business?
No-one likes paying for insurance (myself included), until you have to make a claim for something. There are some decent insurance companies out there who are very easy to work with when you have to make a claim. The problem is, that there aren't many of them out there. The worst ones are the budget insurance companies who people flock to because of their low premiums, but they will do anything not to pay out.

If Trump runs again in 4 years, I think it will be as an Independent. I can't see him getting the Republican ticket for a second time, as those guys are too scared of him now. If he does run as an independent, it will be interesting to see how many of the traditional Republican voters vote for him. I sincerely doubt it will be 74 million, but I think he will get a good portion. This will ultimately lead to another 4 years of Democrats being in office since he will 'steal' a good slice of Republican votes, somewhat akin to what Ross Perot did in 1992.

Although what you say is true, it's not as clear cut in The Bahamas as it is in the US. The US has a huge pool of skilled workers, such as engineers, to pull from, and numerous businesses that require said engineers. Unfortunately, due to the sub-standard education system in The Bahamas, and the limited job opportunities in skilled areas, there are not that many skilled & qualified Bahamians to choose from, and employers constantly struggle to find qualified Bahamians. Those Bahamians that do go off to college to study, for example in engineering, more often than not stay overseas where the job opportunities are more numerous and the salaries much better than back home, for the exact reasons you state.
In my opinion it's a vicious cycle.
The best thing this country could do, would be to establish traditional and formal trade schools where they teach all the essential trades (apprenticeships) where upon completion, students leave with a formal accreditation. This would make it so much easier for employers to hire Bahamians rather than risking hiring someone who has the 'bush' know how experience, but no formal training.
