When the most protected person in the United States and high ranking officials in this country are contracting the Corona virus, it questions exactly how contagious is the virus, are there other ways it is being spread and what other measures can be taken to combat the virus, that are not already being taken and except full lockdowns of the population. A school of thought is that a population has to be managed after a lockdown or even a series of them. Take for example New York vs China. New York had one of the strictest lockdowns in the United States. But now as they struggle to reopen their communities and economy, there are serious outbreaks of Corona and activities like schools and colleges and restaurants have to be shut down again. And so it’s like chasing fires. While one is being battled, others break out. China seems to understand this and appears to have mastered the art of controlling Corona. First it’s boarders are secure. Everyone going out or coming in or re- entering the country is tested and retested. If you test positive, you are quarantine. Quarantined under strict, containment like conditions. And these two factors seem to be the biggest contributors to the problem in this country. The borders and too porous and not properly monitored and controlled. And persons that are supposed to be in quarantine are not in quarantine but moving around as freely as a jay bird. From the policemen to the store clerk. And measures need to be taken to more strictly enforce quarantine. Another measure China does is it doesn’t wait for numbers to explode before it takes action. If someone in a household tests positive, that entire household is immediately locked down. There’s contact tracing and all the contact that are located are taken into quarantine. Strict enforcement. And if there’s evidence of community spread, that particular community is put on lockdown and Chinese army is there to ensure no one enters or no one leaves. The people in the affected area only have access to the businesses, banks etc that is within the lockdown area. Anything, like food and medical supplies coming in is done so under strict safety protocols. Unlike the family islands. The population on New Providence is mix up like conch salad. Someone living in Pinewood may be working in a store in Cable Beach and going to a bank in Palmdale. Another person in that same household may be working in the Carmichael area and have children living in Fox Hill. So this gross intermixing and intermingling of the population has a direct effect on the corona numbers and the wide spread across the island. So what about Abaco? Well it is speculated that many people from Abaco still frequent Florida. To shop and to make other transactions. And also there’s a lot of travel between Nassau and Abaco. And a lot of it may be unregulated. And involve illegals who, too, are still trying to recover from Dorian. And they are back and forth to Nee Providence a

The facts are, this second wave had a different level of contagion and a different fatality rate. Why have more members of parliament and persons working in those offices coming down with the virus? Yes government has a corundum. Obviously they cannot continue as business as usual but they cannot choke and strangle a dying economy and saying they are trying to save it? And the food stores have barely any restrictions or loss of operating hours since the pandemic started in March.

The new update from the CDC (Comedians?) says that corona droplets are released in the air by an infected person and can remain in the air for HOURS after that person has left the area. So what does this say for persons going into banks and food stores and other high traffic areas, including malls? What does it say to banks and now some business establishments now asking patrons to 'remove their masks for the camera?
.
‘ "CDC continues to believe, based on current science, that people are more likely to become infected the longer and closer they are to a person with COVID-19," the agency said in a statement on Monday.

"Today's update acknowledges the existence of some published reports showing limited, uncommon circumstances where people with COVID-19 infected others who were more than 6 feet away or shortly after the COVID-19-positive person left an area. In these instances, transmission occurred in poorly ventilated and enclosed spaces that often involved activities that caused heavier breathing, like singing or exercise. Such environments and activities may contribute to the buildup of virus-carrying particles."

Are the cases on Abaco directly linked to travel between Abaco and Florida? And to some degree Sbaco and New Providence? What types of businesses are having a large number of employees test positive? What about more younger people moving about on New Providence? Students who may be taking the virus back home?
