Can we please stop the hysterics.

The real impact of Omicron is not hospitalizations and deaths. Examine whats changed: exponentially more people are getting infected within shorter windows but no widespread severity. Essentially a greater percentage of people are sick at the same time. **That** is the impact, imagine if all the surgeons got sick, all the flight attendants got sick, all the bank tellers got sick... the affected business would grind to a halt. then imagine it happening to multiple businesses at the same time. Fortunately that scenario hasnt happened anywhere other than the airline industry, its had some impact on 2000 flights but hasnt stopped the entire industry. But its the potential scenario to be aware of

And in this scenario the only implication of being "sick" is, you cant go to work, specifically targeting roles where remote work is not possible. Economic impact from a less deadly angle

Again. Tourists are the main cause of spread. Their travelling numbers far outdistances the number of Bahamians travelling and they interact with 10000 Bahamians, who have families, on a weekly basis. If we dont learn that lesson now and act like it, it will be too late next time

The real story about Omicron isnt hospitalizations and deaths. Its work absences. The absences are the impact. As long as we pretend that tourists arent the virus spreaders we're going to get this result

Regatta weekend?

Thats what they "said". Was that the holiday cruise to regatta or was that another incident?

In any event I'd expect a yacht to have a pretty fancy radar system and a pretty fancy well paid and experienced captain who wouldnt just leave the ship unattended... Im guessing a radar system would detect large objects within a certain distance of the ship so as to avoid surprises.... but what do I know.. maybe one was operating with stealth technology

We do not make our police accountable. This will backfire on us.

Agreed. When Venezuela first erupted into chaos a couple years ago as their dollar devalued, it wasnt hard to invision a similar situation here. When people cant feed themselves they become mindless zombies with one objective and by any means necessary. We are one disaster away from this scenario. Oil spill, pandemic, hurricane, global boycott. Zombie apocalypse

The people getting into politics to bite off chunks from the treasury dont realize they could be engineering their and their own family's demise. In literal terms.. That *do unto others* mandate is so profound, you could literally read it, youre doing it to yourself. starve them, you starve. Steal from them youve robbed yourself

- A man was shot in the head. twice.

- The Police spokesman comes out and
says nothing to see here folks all
the evidence says this is a robbery

- His business partner was killed 4
months ago.

- Also shot in the head

- The man and his wife are currently
being sued by an intl jewelry dealer
for 34 million dollars

- The intl jeweler said he's desperate
because he's being hounded by people
he in turn owes money to

I dont know about conspiracies.I hope the police have moved Mrs Griffin and her daughters to some witness protection program

ran into a tanker?? these stories are getting weirder by the day. Are we running a real life James Bond movie with hitmen, intl money men, corrupt local authorities all on a tiny caribbean island and super yachts involved in high seas drama as the icing on top?

Were they all high? Who doesnt see a gas tanker? Carnival, Griffin, Tanker... weird stories and more than meets the eyeperhaps

lol

You know I wonder if our justice system, all aspects of it, are failed systems by design. If you want certain matters to go away, not find evidence of illegal gaming even when a big spinning wheel is on the wall behind you, not search Nygard's compound because the gates are locked or not to have the carnival fiasco or an execution investigated too deeply because of what it might reveal for example... it would be nice to have a loyal soldier in place. Someone to make sure *the stories line up*. But loyal doesn't mean the best, and who wants the best anyway, thats not the point, the point is to be able to bend justice when you call for it
