Please launch a law suit against the EU for "conspiracy to injure".

The Bahamas is a sovereign nation that writes its own legislation and laws.

The Bahamian people are not subjects, or a dominion, of the EU.

As the UK decided, the EU politicians are a bunch of overbearing, interfering, unwelcome tyrannical and above all very poor quality people.

The Bahamas should forge closer ties with the UK and Switzerland.

All very best wishes and deepest intentions for Boris's full recovery. the UK needs their Boris...!

As for the new restrictions here, with great respect to Parliament and the Government, this may well not have been the most ideal strategy, as it will have increased concentration of people and may therefore increase transmission risks and infections.

Spatial viral loads are a very important point / concept and I am not sure people understand this well enough. Suffice to say in creasing the density of people is not a good idea.

However, every Bahamian has their destiny in their own hands to a large extent - stay away from others to the very best of your ability and practise excellent hygiene and keep your immune system strong... (i.e. lay off the alcohol, and carbs - eat well, exercise and keep your stress down as best you can..!)

Testing in high density areas would also be a very, very - and fairly obviously - good idea.

God bless... (especially Boris)

you are absolutely right about the agricultural program....

Great article Neil - thank you for all your incredible reporting and journalism.

There is an argument to advance that supports what you say. Last week Oxford University came out with a model that suggests 68% of the UK had the infection by 19th March and 80% of Italy by 9th March. They suggest substantial herd immunity in those 2 countries has already been established.

This is potential cause for great optimism, but it is ONLY a model and not proven by any means yet. That is why this editorial is still correct that we MUST continue to self isolate.

Until the data and antigen tests confirm one way or another, the alternative - much more negative - model put forward by Imperial College, London could still be right. Let us pray that in this global situation Oxford is right and Imperial is wrong. But for now we must stay in place.

Infection rate in Texas for example, is currently only 0.0034%

80% of them will only have mild or few symptoms...

What number of people die when unemployment goes up by 1% ??

No judgment as I don't know enough about true data on Corona, but just asking really important questions.

Very best wishes to everyone on Abaco...

Great good luck to every one and a full and fast recovery! God Bless.

Well said, this is woefully insufficient. I agree completely with Bogart.

And in addition any cut offs should be postponed until at least 1 month after the Bahamian people go back to work...

Simple - we have low numbers at this time; it could have been a lot worse if those actions had not been taken. Credit where credit is due. God bless you.
