health Experts in South Africa claim that the symptoms of the Omnicron virus are so mild ( like the common cold or mild flu) most people will not even realize that they had the virus. In fact most people who are admitted to hospital are there for reasons other than Omnicron and then the virus is detected. The Omnicron virus does not attack the lungs as violently as the other strains and most patients do not require supplemental oxygen. The average stay for an Omnicron patient is two days compared to eight days for patients having other strains of Covid. And Omnicron patients are usually treated with steroids on admission, indicating that they have already passed the most critical stage of the illness and is on the road to recovery.
Experts have warned that as the Covid-19 pandemic eases, there will be an increase in the number of people suffering from mental issues. These will include alcohol and substance abuse, anxiety, panic attacks and, unfortunately suicide and suicide attempts. As schools reopen, expect students presenting with behavioral problems that will include violence. Some will have no interest in school work and others may not attend school at all. So the health ministry should be about increasing the bed capacity at Sandilands , if only on a temporary basis and have a team of counselors ready to go to the various schools (family islands included) as necessary. Reports are that treatment for out patients of Sandilands has been reduced to just refills of medication for fear of the medical team contracting the virus.
The shock treatment programs as was seen on American television was designed to portray the young Black male as a troublesome, violent dangerous and highly unsocialized individual. A person where all the stops have to be pulled to get him back in line. And those who designed the programs knew the ‘shock treatment’ was more harmful than good and they knew the televised programs along with ‘Bait Car’, the programs that tested for and/or contested paternity were all designed to showcase Black people in an negative light. Of course there were some sprinkling of whites and Hispanics in the programs to make the intended target less obvious. And it also has Black people who watched the programs that it was the norm, rather than the exception. . . IF this government has a program that is intended to rescue troubled youth, male and females, and set them back on the right track, and if these programs involve more than shocking persons with visits to graveyards, morgues, funeral homes and military personnel barking down the young peoples neck and physically abusing them in other ways. Then the positive parts of the program should be made public. There should be a definite name change from shock treatment and persons who were engaged in the program and were bettered by it should also be highlighted. But if ‘shock treatment’ is the core and main aspect of the program then it should be disbanded. Even mature adults doesn’t to visit morgues and graveyards or be unnecessarily roughed up by marines. But if there are youth that need that type of treatment, it speaks volumes to the social failures of this country.
Meanwhile the details on the Omicron virus is that It does not cause breathing problems like the other strains. Most persons admitted for Omnicron do not require oxygen. The average stay for a patient admitted with Omnicron is 2 days compared to 8 days with the other strains. Patients are usually treated with steroids and are released shortly thereafter because when they are admitted, they have already passed the critical stage of the viral attack. And most patients who are hospitalized with Omnicron were admitted for other ailments. It was only through routine testing and treatment of the other illnesses that they were discovered to have Omnicron. It is also believed that patients who have the Omnicron and recovered will now have natural immunity to all the other strains of Covid-19. This is yet to be confirmed.

I setting up a carnival right now. To open this week. Not to worry about approvals. None whatsoever! Because kisses go by favor in this country. But O I forgot, I am Bahamian. Kicked in the face again
Hey Dumbass. You criticize errybody but as you know the average Bahamian have a difficulty both writing and comprehending English. Yet you, after at least ba deckade at least continue to write in what is not even Greek (doesn’t sound like Greek to me). So if you and y’all plan to fire Vaughan McCartney , ceremoniously or in an ad hoc manner, then find the intestinal fortitude (balls) to say so. Vaughan is an educated and qualified individual and should be treated as such. And don’t need no tooth (or toothless) fairy ass godmother, creepy in the night to determine his future. I wish it was me u ole troll
