**Yahoo News Report Today** Overwhelmed funeral homes in China are struggling with a deluge of deaths as the country exits its zero-COVID stance.
One facility is so busy that it's giving families only 5 to 10 minutes to mourn, per Bloomberg.
Demand for funeral services is so high that people are queuing outside funeral homes to sell their spots.
As a reopening China grapples with a tsunami of new COVID infections, its funeral parlors have become the latest industry under siege.
So many people are dying in Shanghai that one funeral home — handling five times more corpses than usual per day — is giving families only five to 10 minutes to mourn the dead in an unelaborate manner, Bloomberg reported Tuesday.
Longhua Funeral Home laid out bodies on stretchers, allowing mourners to briefly pay their respects before being ushered away, the outlet wrote.
"The whole system is paralyzed right now," one Longhua employee told Bloomberg.
The former FNM tourism minister constantly insisted tourism would take years to recover to pre-covid levels after the pandemic!
Just goes to prove the government has absolutely no idea and no way of predicting anything with any accuracy. They will tell us anything as long as it supports their narrative.
From what I've heard so far law enforcement did an extraordinarily exceptional job providing protection during the parade!
Hat's off to PM Davis, rbpf, rbdf, for displaying the commonsense to flood downtown with layers of boots on the ground which prevented the undesirables among us to get anywhere even close to Bay Street.
All of the usual Tribune naysayers would have been here today complaining vehemently and condemning PM Davis and law enforcement if there was a gun, knife, or other violence committed against people during the parade.
**Where are these people when things go right?**
In all fairness, PM Davis, RBPF, and RBDF should be highly applauded for their outstanding job of protecting everyone. I hope they are ready for a duplicate performance for the New Years' parade.
Many people that dared not attend Junkanoo out of fear of personal safety can now reconsider going to the New Years' Junkanoo parade.
They should be ashamed to have to provide meals to unemployed Bahamians while the country is awash with blue-collar low skilled ex-pat workers occupying jobs Bahamians should have.
We should look after our own brothers and sisters first!
**WTF? Davis talking pure steaming bullshyt for consumption of ignorant followers again!**
Man please **STFU** and stop insulting our intelligence!
In a nutshell, the **TRUTH** is...the PLP and FNM totally failed to academically and vocationally educate and train the masses, then added insult to injury by giving 30,000 low-skilled blue-collar jobs to Asians and Latinos which forced tens of thousands of under-educated Bahamians to turn to crime for survival! Hence the resultant crime wave.
**The proof is undeniably in the statistics.** Successive PLP and FNM leadership have totally **F_A_I_L_D** the Bahamian people and are 100% responsible for the current crime wave!
The Bahamas is ranked #1 for serious crimes globally!

Between the Baha Mar and now FTX fiascos both facing serious scrutiny in U.S. courts, several of the most powerful pirates in the Bahamas will finally be exposed and made to walk the plank into jail where they belonged decades ago!
The government will continue its policy of allowing more foreign low-skilled blue-collar workers to take jobs from Bahamians and drive more of our people into a life of crime for survival.
Young Bahamians know they have better chances at making a living from crime and absolutely no chance of being employed.
Adding insult to injury, illegal Haitian migration to the Bahamas has quadrupled in recent weeks, and amid the government's soft approach to dealing with employing illegal Haitians, many establishments have used the new heightened influx to hire cheap labor regardless that the majority of these people do not speak a word of English.
The country is already overwhelmed with crime and continues spiraling out of control deeper into serious crime and the government is too pig-headed to deal with the well-publicized cause of crime.....**Unemployment!**
