Uh ... this storm isn’t coming anywhere near the Bahamas, and even if it does the wind speed would be about 35 mph. But, hey, it’s a fine way for the government to distract everybody from its idiotic Covid-19 disasters.
Try it again: The loss estimate was $3.5 million. The actual loss was $7 million, or double. When you double a number, you increase it by 100%. Thus, the projection was off by 100%. Clear?
If they had underestimated $3.5 million by 50%, they would have been off by $1.75 million, which is 50% of $3.5 million, and the total loss would have been $5.25 million. Man, there’s a few people here whom I would LOVE to meet across a poker table. 🤣😎
No ... it was presented the other way: The loss projection was $3.5 million, the actual loss is $7 million — when a number is doubled, it is increased by 100%. The writer said it was undeestimated by 50%, which is wrong, as the base number is $3.5 million, not $7 million.
Hey, Neil, your math is wrong, dummy. If they thought it was $3.5 million a month and it was really $7 million, they were off by 100%, not 50%. Wow ... an accountant and a business editor involved in this story, and neither can do 8th grade math.
Well-said. Health care in the U.S. is excellent — the problem is the expense, and access. And the current problem is the lack of a cohesive, national approach to the virus.
How can anybody, including The Tribune, continue to call this weasel “Brave” after what he’s done? He’s proved, for one final time, that “Gravy” is his true name: He slurps up the gravy, and average Bahamians, if they’re lucky, get to lick his napkin.

Multiply the projection, $3.5M, by 50% and let me know if the result is $7M. 😎
