Sweden 8th in the world at 571 deaths per 100,000.

Norway, which share s hailf the boarder with Sweden, is 78th in the world with 47 deaths per 100,000.

Not so sure Sweden is the way to go. I prefer the way Norway has handled it.

I agree completely with your comments with respect to government communication on details.

I don't watch the PM anymore because he takes forever to read a short address. I try to get a copy of it afterwards.

Not only that, I am not in primary school and am offended by the PM's condescending delivery.

Does he put this down to the patients age, weight etc?

Is the virus mutating in The Bahamas and becoming more virulent?

Other countries seem to be getting better at treating patients so wat is going on here?

Sweden also has the 8th highest death rate in the world from COVID 19. That is out of 213 countries and territories. That is a very high death rate.

Man in yellow striped blue shirt not wearing his mask correctly. Another government worker ignoring the government rules making easier to spread COVID 19.

The limiting of three days forces people together so the spread of COVID 19 is increased.

The Government is forcing sick people (not tested, or can't afford the test priviately as Government doesn't test unless you are already sick, it or are scared to lose their jobs etc) on the healthy ones.

The same thing is happening at the foodstores with people in long lines for hours on end.

Makes no sense.

Sweden has 571 deaths per million. Germany has 111 deaths per million.

There is no better evidence than the current state of affairs to prove that the total failure to test early on was a terrible decision.

Countries like Germany, South Korea, Iceland and Singapore all locked down early, like we did, but, unlike The Bahamas, they tested and tested and tested. They were able to locate hotspots before they were able to spread COVID 19.

When they opened up they continued to test and test. We have failed our people and now both the health of Bahamains are seriously at risk and the health of the Bahamian economy is aslo seriously at risk.

Very Bad Decesion not to test early on.

I am quite happy to debate this till the cows come home.

The fact is Bahamians are as good as anyone else, but we don't demand it of them. There are tens of thousands of Bahamians working around the world and they didn't need Bahamas Immigration to protect them to get the job.

No business, foreign or Bahamian wants to spend thousands of dollars on work permits if they don't have to. They are in business to make money, not to hire expensive foreigners.

In the past (40 -50 years ago) foreigners, who worked here, brought numerous businesses to The Bahamas; that has dried up now. Those businesses created thousands of jobs for Bahamians and paid millions into the Public Treasury.

That business has gone to our compeditors. You may want ask yourselves what they are doing that we are not.

You are not referring to foreigners who are working here. Had you ever wondered why one of the most reputable Swiss banks pulled out of The Bahamas? Remember the immigration round up where they picked someone up because he did not have his work permit on him, even though he told them he had one. They didn't check with headquarters, they just bundled him into the van.

Think of how many good paying jobs that Bahamains lost over that.
Look at others that have pulled out. Look at how the Bahamian middle class has shrunk over the last 10 years.

We do have a number of very bright Bahamians who can do cutting edge solutions but they have looked and decided that they are better off in the country they are working in. Very few power failures, people who show up when they say they will (might have something to do with competition which we don't have here, it's called protectionism).
