"downward trend" hmmmmmmm.

How Israel treats Palestinians is well documented. Most decent people are able to say the racism. Nelson Mandela saw this cleat as day. The West Bank and Gaza are called open air prisons by most fully human people who visit there.

Kevin,

Philanthropy is merely an excuse for having individuals do what society doesn't have the fortitude, decency and guts to do. But to say, "Minnis, thankfully, doesn’t have to face such difficult options, owing to his well-deserved status as prime minister and being a highly accomplished gynaecologist and obstetrician. Bahamian multimillionaires are not feeling the effects of the coronavirus driven economic downturn, like the average Bahamian who typically lives from hand to mouth. This is not to precipitate a conflict between the economic classes, mind you. I am a free market capitalist in the tradition of Adam Smith and John Calvin. Nor am I attempting to lay a guilt trip on wealthy and successful Bahamians. Whatever they have achieved in life is theirs, due to the Lord’s common grace". Quit being an ass kisser., Kevin.
And, ask yourself one question. Would Jesus, if back on earth today, be a capitalist or a socialist? If you can't simply say Jesus would be a socialist, you do not understand Christianity, nor do you understand economics. You were brainwashed by those around you on both religion and economics. And further, you don't understand Minnis. Kevin, you spout some of the most ignorant drivel I've ever read.

Truly unbelievable, but sadly becoming more believable every day that passes.

Same on Andros. We operate in the last century. Who seems to care?

I am passing this along. Seems like some sound advice.

The reason for this is that Doctors and scientists know more about Covid-19 now than 3 months ago and hence are able to treat patients better. I will list *5 important things* that we know now that we didn’t know in February 2020 for your understanding.

Now since knowing about happy hypoxia we are monitoring oxygen saturation of all covid patients *with a simple home use pulse oximeter and getting them to hospital if their oxygen saturation drops to 93% or less*. This gives more time for doctors to correct the oxygen deficiency in the blood and a better survival chance in June 2020.

I know. That popped out at me too.

Any new cases today?

Excellent points

Start with a progressive taxation regime, if you want long-term sustainability.
Right now, taxes on the poorest and working class here in The Bahamas will destroy any middle class aspirations any may hold. Eliminate Custom's Duty. We have way too many of our people in Make Work, producing nothing. They spend too much of each day moving things around and twiddling with entries and numbers. Imagine if Customs agents were free to actually help Bahamians, instead of throwing up roadblocks every chance they get. Bring in FDI, sure. But, then not to tax them or their businesses is not a way to make life better for Bahamians. If they have the right to profit from here, for God's sake we should tax them fairly and effectively. If we had Statesmen in our government, none of the current MPs would be in office.
