The country is more open than it has ever been since going into its first Covid-19 lockdown around this same time last year. The borders , though controlled are more active and apparently persons leaving the country and returning pose more risk than tourist who visit. And some, in both instances Bahamians and tourists, who travel by sea do not always follow the safety protocols. Especially those who enter or leave and/or return by private sea craft. And Other countries are also seeing surges in cases. Britain, for example has forbid anyone to leave or enter that country, beginning Monday, without special permission. Anyone violating this law can be fined $7,500U$. And some 28 states in the Us have seen surges in cases after its spring break season began. Students flocked to beaches and other party hotspots and many failed to follow safety protocols including social distancing, mask wearing and curfews. In fact some beaches in South Florida had to put in more restrictions, including closing and/or restrictions on bridges leading to those beaches.

‘ Influenza (Flu) and COVID-19 are both contagious respiratory illnesses, but they are caused by different viruses. COVID-19 is caused by infection with a new coronavirus (called SARS-CoV-2), and flu is caused by infection with influenza viruses.’

John says...

Vaccines are irrelevant in this instance. No one can enter of leave Britain without special permission. And wasn’t Britain among the countries that suspended the AstraGenica vaccine?

John says...

I said the virus will be mostly gone from The Bahamas by the end of March and from the rest of The earth by summer. Is this country at least 90% open, yes or no? Are the corona numbers mostly flat for most of the country, yes or no? Do most, if not all spikes in numbers, especially on Grand Bahama, New Providence and Abaco relate to some person(s) who have a history of recent travel, yes or no?

And they all stem from the Spanish flu.. the global epidemic that reportedly killed upwards of 50 million people...go study!

It’s your very narrow mindedness and blind vision that led you to that incorrect conclusion. My posts reflect events that may be of interest to Bahamians or affect the Bahamas. Not everyone is into character bashing like you dude.

Starting next Monday, it will be illegal to leave Britain without special permission. And this special permission will only be granted under special circumstances as Britain closes its borders to help stem off a new surge in the Corona virus. Britons will not be able to leave at will and anyone who leaves or enters the country without special permission will be fined the equivalent of US $7,500.00

John says...

Yes it is a virus similar to the flu.tell o that to your friend who you are asking for!

Regardless of what happened on that day two things are obvious:
.
. The majority of Bahamians sympathized with the DNA and sided with them in this issue. This may not necessarily translate into more votes but Bahamians expect free and fair play in the upcoming elections. No Donald Trump style bullying in these elections, ok.
.
People are starting to take a second look at Hubert Minnis and some of his MP’s and Cabinet, Marvin Dames not excluded. Does Minnis have a third eye? What exactly are the motives behind the FNM’s pre-election antics? Is the information they getting saying that this is no easy win for Minnis and the FNM? Or are the boots on the ground reporting that it’s a ‘no win’ for Minnis and The FNM? So what will Minnis and Marvin dem do? Extend the Emergency Orders yet another time? Keep Bahamians cornered and at bay beyond the period that is necessary to safely navigate the Corona pandemic? Will Elections 2022 be an unexpected gold rush with a little GREEN renewable energy?
