… the idea is to provide a physical barrier between the user and the person they are face to face with to reduce the amount of droplets or even blood they are exposed to. In every instance the wearer will have on a face mask and usually goggles.
Can you imagine a dentist doing a procedure on a person with COVID-19 who has no symptoms while not wearing one?

This is an excellent lateral move for a Bahamian business. I wish them success!

Test again using a test kit NOT made in China!

He is right, no tax increases will come "amid" the coronavirus crisis, but expect them immediately after the crisis is over along with massive borrowing and continued government waste and social welfare entitlements.

Those persons standing in line to get a voucher after not working for one month are a true representation of our country that also lives hand to mouth, begging and borrowing just to survive!

Sands said weeks ago that they had test kits but no swabs!! Who in the world would order tests but not an essential component that allows you to use the test. This reeks of incompetence all around. What have they done to try and rectify the problem other than talk?

He also said 10,000 rapid tests were ordered, what happened to those?

@stillwaters... just go back and look at some of the suggestions that have been made here over the past 4-6 weeks by non-medical people! We still don't know what, if anything, they are doing for people who are hospitalized with this virus!

It is truly sad that after one month people have to stand in line, in the hot sun for food vouchers! This is dehumanizing!! Our mentality toward saving and making better choices so that we have more control over our lives has to change.

I also couldn't help but notice that there are only about 3 people in the picture under 200 lbs!

… my brother, if a team of doctors cannot handle a medical problem in a way that inspires confidence in their decision making (as covid19 is), then all is lost! It would be a different situation if this were an OECD matter they were messing up!

… in the Bahamas, this incompetent ministry of health team will probably be rewarded with bonuses after this debacle is over!

My first suggestion would be that the PM, minister of Health and the senior team at the MOH resign. Incompetence should not be rewarded!

… shows that we live in an artificial economy bolstered by borrowing! The solution is obviously more borrowing!
