This is so, sad. But do the vaccines actually work?
jerusalem—The massive surge of COVID-19 infections in Israel, one of the most vaccinated countries on earth, is pointing to a complicated path ahead for America and the world.
Israel reported 9,831 new diagnosed cases on Tuesday, a hairbreadth away from the worst daily figure ever recorded in the country—10,000—at the peak of the third wave. More than 350 people have died of the disease in the first three weeks of August.
In a Sunday press conference, the directors of seven public hospitals announced that they could no longer admit any coronavirus patients. With 670 COVID-19 patients requiring critical care, their wards are overflowing and staff are at breaking point.
Dr. Bethel from Freeport offered a simple prevention protocol that works but the government aren't allowed to consider it. Someone has a lot of blood on their hands!!!
Bahamians living in cars, literally begging, struggling like hell and fighting for survival, and these clowns talking about " Ready To Do ‘Whatever Is Necessary’ To Assist Haiti"!
Why the hell aren't they " Ready To Do ‘Whatever Is Necessary’ To Assist Bahamians" !?
I have crossed and visited the glass window bridge on calm days and rough days innumerable times, and many other bridges on 3 continents.
We're only dealing with a very small span. For the life of me, I cannot understand why it's so damn difficult to simply build a cantilever construction arch bridge with sufficient height that regardless of how rough the sea is the bridge and its users would not be affected!
Secondly, investing $35m in repairing the existing bridge is just beyond ludicrous. This doesn't make sense and totally fails the smell test.
Thirdly, ultimately, how will the bridge be paid for and **maintained**? In real countries bridges are paid for and maintained by charging users a minimal toll over time. If the plan is to make the bridge a "tourist destination", (and it's done properly) a toll should be used as a vehicle to pay off the bridge in a shorter period.
Every traveler, be they local or foreign, greatly appreciate a well-organized, comfortable airport.
Family Island airports are decades behind regional resort competitors. As expensive destinations, family Island airports are an embarrassment and disgrace. Usage fees for maintenance and ongoing upgrades are long, long, long, overdue!
One major concern here is what procedures will be implemented so that "usage fees" for various family Island airports are actually used for upgrades, development, and ongoing maintenance, and do not disappear into the consolidated funds' bottomless pit account?
How will we control **graft and the usual government goon squad underhanded thieving** that we all know consumed departure taxes from Nassau International airport for decades?
If we are remotely serious about upgrading family Island airports, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Key West, and Orlando airports **"continuous ongoing development"** should serve as a template of what it takes for an airport to develop simultaneously with a growing resort destination.

It would be very interesting and would probably save others lives to know what regimen of vitamins and bush medicine the Bailey's were relying on.

I wouldn't trust the FNM or PLP with a bag of rotten fish!!
Both parties have bull-shytted the electorate so much neither of them was able of coming up with a sensible campaign slogan.

Fred Mitchel is a bullshyt-talking factory! I have no special respect for Wells, but to suggest he resign over $1,158.40 is just stupid.
Fred needs to tell us what should happen to the PLP MP's caught helping themselves in the cookie jar before the last election!
