Both infections and deaths are about to accelerate because people refused to be sensible,listen to reason, stay home and self distance. Now things are about to get real!
... the absence of a free media in China makes it impossible to believe any stats that come out of that country! Online trends are showing that even Chinese citizens are suspicious of the reports coming out of their own country!
… what countries have failed to do is shut down completely because of the potential economic fallout. If they do that for several weeks and have mandatory self isolation this virus would burn out in about 3 weeks because it cannot survive without jumping from host to host. If a decision to do that happens within the next few weeks both in the US, UK and here, we could be back in business in about 6 weeks. If not then infections will continue to spread impeding economic recovery and it will become a lot more complicated!
… lend me $100 dollars, my baby hungry and I need to put some gas in my car? If your first response is to give the money, I will send you my account number for a quick transfer!
But seriously, there are many Bahamians who sacrifice, try to make smart choices to limit the hardship that poor decisions can bring and have been proactive in building their lives. Being successful in this country by being honest, hardworking and planning for the future is not easy, and I refuse to put my hand out if I have not done everything in my power to change my situation first! When those I am responsible for have a need their only duty is to come to me first. As the man of the house it is MY duty to take care of my responsibilities. That's why I don't believe in having 'outside' children and sweetheartin'. I believe that should go for all of us!
Many Bahamians have shown themselves to be complete idiots who think they are on holiday, so obviously the rates of infection and subsequent deaths must increase. I stood on a line for the grocery store today and observed people standing next to each other as though they were at a social event with barely any space between them. There were also couples and parents with two or more grown children on the lines and shopping in the store, in spite of the PMs declaration that there be ONE designated shopper per house. With this kind of idiocy, things will have to get much worse before it gets better. It is now clear that we, the Bahamian people are our own worse enemy!
The real question is why did this person fly into a known Covid-19 zone when she knew she had a medical condition that involved her lungs and why didn't she seek medical help when she first started to develop symptoms knowing she was on an island with limited medical care? Nobody wants to take person responsibility for anything. If she did not make that trip to Florida she might still be alive today but its everybody else's fault right?
… you beat me to it. So the baby daddy has the fun but the public must come to her support? What about family friends etc? Why are her life choices for public consumption? The amazing part is these people have no shame or conscience and are unable to see the role their personal choices play in their lives being where it is at this time!
... could it have something to do with her wearing them **while at work** in two different photos!! Well no, your idea that she probably just keeps them in her pockets while working makes more sense!
