A record number of cases for a single day in The Bahamas. 818 new cases of COVID-19 on Friday and we still have Jan 10th holiday that will unquestionably turn out as a super spreader date for the country.

My prediction is by Jan 30th the Bahamas will have 1000 new cases daily and the hospital will be over-run with covid infected patients.

The proof is undeniably in the pudding, the "New Day" government made a major blunder by removing too many restrictions way too fast resulting in our current mess which has also not gone unnoticed by the CDC.

Now they need to think out of the box and move fast to find new ways of containing the wildfire virus outbreak especially with essential workers BEFORE the next deadly variant is manifested, which would overwhelm and possibly collapse the already strained health care system and lead to an uncontrolled shut down of the tourism sector.

The cruise and airline industries are already quickly grinding to a halt with thousands of staff unable to work due to covid infections, leading to unprecedented numbers of cancellations and millions of travelers already stranded around the world.

If a solution is not found FAST, the entire travel industry will collapse leaving tourist-dependent economies like the Bahamas and Caribbean "dead in the water" again! Billions of dollars would be lost in record time, unemployment would soar, and crime would be off the charts as more and more already desperate people fall below the poverty line and are forced into a life of crime for survival.

Given the history of government "thinking out of the box" and "moving quickly", **the immediate future does NOT look promising.**

Commandant Lloyd resurfaces and immediately says something asinine! Please STFU Jeff.

NCL Pearl now returning to Miami after leaving yesterday because of the number of crew with positive Covid cases.

My guess is we should expect another more deadly infectious combination of variants in a few weeks that would further negatively impact the cruise, airline, and entire travel industry.

Looks like cruise stocks are about to nosedive as the cruise industry is obviously headed back to mothballs and huge losses unless they can supply passengers with Pfizer's new pill or the new covid nasal spray to prevent passengers and crew from contracting covid.

There is a whole **new nightmare virus** combination called flurona following the emergence in Europe of Delmicron, a combination of Delta and Omicron variants in COVID-19 that has caused more severe symptoms in some patients.

China has locked down millions. We might be in for a few surprises in the next 2 weeks!

Don't get excited just yet, this might very well be the tip of the iceberg! We won't actually know where we are with Covid until the 15th to 18th of this month.

This is the first time during the pandemic that I know people with covid and it just so happens that ALL of them are fully vaxed and some even boosted!

They will plead it was for self-consumption only.....Lol

The last three months of slackness are going to be mutually costly going forward!

Anybody paying any attention at all would have seen this coming! What are the odds of this wave being intensional to open the flood gates of emergency funds to play with, or just the usual stupidity?

About 10 days ago right here I predicted Covid would kick the PLP square in the arse by mid-January, and here we are early for something for once, but it's NOT in a positive way!

**The horse has already left the barn!**

Had the government been watching the world, especially the Netherlands, they would have easily have seen this coming. This is the first time in the pandemic that I personally know of 5 people with covid. It is probably safe to guesstimate at least 20% of undiagnosed covid carriers are asymptomatic spreaders.

This is NOT where we want to be headed!

**omicron** is going to kick the PLP square in the arse in about 4 weeks!!
