Do you know the Covid-19 virus acts differently over different ethnicities? Take for example Haiti and the Dominican Republic. The DR has ten times the number of cases than Haiti and similar fir the number of deaths. And whilst most African countries have flattened their corona curves, most countries like Italy, Canada, UK and the USA, continue to have surged. Then Cuba has a surge that started in December and has recorded more cases in the past few weeks than it recorded all year long. But wait, the same thing is happening in Barbados. It is seeing a surge in cases that is almost doubling the number of cases it had all of last year.

So if these Covid virus are (historically) a one-time event, what is the vaccine against? It’s not like the common flu that comes around every year. And even if it does return it’s rapid mutation will make any current vaccine obsolete and ineffective.

The facts are po that tge FNM does have a platform to campaign on. And if this Corona virus continues to remain low with corresponding low death and totally disappears by March or shortly thereafter ( personally I don’t think the vaccine will be a factor because there viruses disappear after circulating the planet) this will be one of the biggest feathers in Minnis and the FNM’s hat. People will focus on the recovery from the pandemic and busy themselves with the economic recovery rather than the curfews and lockdowns. And there are several pieces of legislation Minnis will try to pass ( legalization or decrimilizing of marijuana and an accompanying ex sponging of criminal records for possession of small amounts of weed, the public disclosure act and some semblance of a fund or body to collect and disburse funds from the natural resources, for example. Then Brave Davis enters the arena leading a party that is scandal ridden. He may not have the power to deny nominations to some who are scandal ridden. So yes, it will be a matter of trust.

After surpassing 100,000 deaths, the UK has been labeled the country with the most mismanagement of the corona pandemic. In fact it has been labeled a disaster with even more cases and deaths expected to occur over the next few weeks

It would be interesting to see the list of businesses that benefited from government loans, grants and other benefits because many companies said their applications were rejected. Some were told during the first phase that all the funds were exhausted . But when the programs were refunded their application was still not approved.

My opinion is the current 10:00 pm curfew has more to do with combating or curbing crime than with the corona battle. After all most all and every business is closed by 9:00 pm so why should tge 10:00 pm curfew be such a burden? Especially since most of the hotels are still closed and those that did venture to reopen in December have now scaled back their operations. But the surge in crime, murders and armed robberies especially, continues as if to set new records. It now appears that except anything short of a miracle, Marvin Dames will not fulfill his campaign promise to curb crime, especially murders. And this is despite having one of the most lucrative budgets in recent history if not if all time, in addition to having almost a year when the country was under some type of lockdown and/or curfew. And this is never to portray the police as being lazy or not dedicated but apparently the approach to the culture or murders and violent crime has to be revisited. With murders, especially, maybe the police are tragedy too many blows to the body and not to the head. What is the motive for the majority of murders happening in the country. New Providence and, to some extent, Grand Bahama. To give an insight: a young man said when he was in school, when he was on the bus or even on school property, he would be approached by other students or outsiders who would ask ‘who you riding wit?’ Meaning ‘which gang are you a member of’. If he gave the wrong answer ( not the same gang as his predators, he would be robbed and beaten. If he said he wasn’t ’riding with no one’ he would still be ‘tapped up’ and told to ‘get protection.’ Some guys quit school to avoid this constant harassment and others joined gangs to ‘get protection’. Some got involved in gang banging and others lost their lives just because they were affiliated with a gang that was ‘warring’ with another gang. The point here is that not all young men want to become gang members or be involved with gang banging. But at some point they do joint a gang due to pure (and peer) pressure not knowing that later on it will become a life and death decision. How can the authorities intervene from the stage of young men being pressured even in junior high school?

I guess you favor the Donald Trump style if battling the corona pandemic

One Day the Good Lord will send an interpreter to tell us exactly what Tal russel has been saying over the years. Or maybe its just food for the birds or messages for aliens who visit this planet from time to time.

PS: with barely 1 1/2 years before elections, my opinion is Many or most Bahamians have more trust in Minnis as leader of the country than any of the other potential leaders on the current political horizon.
