“*We’re seeing it’s basically more related to COVID fatigue,” Dr Swann said yesterday. “There are persons who are pushing for mask mandates to be removed and some of them are just going on and removing those mask mandates themselves, so the reality is we strongly believe in the science and science is proving true.”*"

**the only COVID fatigue that's had an impact on number of cases is that from Chester Cooper and the hotel bosses because they tired tourists cant feel "free".**

We have clear evidence that if there is no significant tourist influx and Bahamians party like its 1969, cases do NOT increase. October through February 2021.

It makes sense, once a variant cycles the community, there's no one else to infect. People could have 50 carnivals and cases wont go up. Youre basically in a natural bubble. The new cycle starts when that tourist infected with a NEW strain nobody see before crosses the border

Sure, it could be a Bahamian crossing the border with the new strain, but when you have over 100,000 tourists coming to the island in a month from the great land of source infections and *I een wearing no mask*, vs possibly 3000 bahamians travelling, the odds say who's more likely to be the carrier

Bahamians can't see what's in front of their faces. This is the easiest market to sell snakeoil.

Scaramucci made over a million dollars in 3 days because a couple hundred people paid him 5000 dollars each to sit in a conference room for a few hours. The topic could have been *effective techniques for growing lilies*. The game was selling seats not crypto. Crypto was simply the sweetener

"*fill had not been added to the plots of land, suggesting this was the reason why water may have settled in some portions of the property.*"

This would be the very definition of "flood zone" wouldn't it?. An area that has to be *filled in* to prevent flooding. One day we'll move away from partisanship and just assess facts and work to resolve the problem rather than save face

lol. Queue the statements from Tourism and the hotels on the need to get the numbers under control so it doesnt affect arrival numbers. This after they usher in the petri dishes and did everything to make them "comfortable" because they were "*tired of wearing masks*"

"*Taylor said L W Young’s principal was attempting to calm an angry student when the student in a fit of rage formed a fist and swung at the principal, “grazing” the administrator’s forehead in the process.*"

How is that different from being attacked? These officials need to stop with this whitewashing of everything acknowledge the depth of the priblem and address it. Ratger than wasting 60k on Rodney find 600k and get some real experts and a real plan. Good news PR is not productivity or effectiveness

"*An opportunity is an opportunity. It may not be the ideal salary that they’re hoping for*"

This doesnt sound like the sales pitch they gave when everybody showed up to the town meeting in I love Disney t-shirts...The results are always predictable when you sell your soul for a bowl of porridge. Our poor people, forever sold up river by fast talkers

We need innovation. Real innovation, not the carbon copies that we call innovation, or the govt sponsored "success" stories where friends and favour govt contract placement decides who suceeds. We cannot continue to base our entire existence on an industry that is so vulnerable to external shocks. The key word being "entire"

There is one major restaurant that was selling spoiled meat for days. They had to know it was spoiled, if the cooked food smelled like decay how did the raw meat smell. Where are the inspectors? How was that meat allowed to stay in fridges for who knows how long?
