... It is also known that the delta variant affects the lungs more than the upper airway, so rapid antigen tests may be negative WHILE a person is actually infected.
In other words a person can have a rapid antigen test and still be infected with delta variant!
The nonsense about vaccinations allowing things to get back to normal is refuted by the evidence or increasing "breakthrough infections" in the vaccinated. The vaccinated can still spread covid, hence the need for them to continue with the same measures of mask wearing etc.
... it far more likely that people die from a calloused healthcare system than the disease itself. How many have been sent home because their symptoms were not severe enough and told to come back if they got worse.
WHY people are dying has to be investigated. The system may be contributing to their deaths!
... seldom should power be given to those who so desperately crave it, like these two. But Bahamians like smooth talk and promises, so they will get goosied again!
... individuals entering parties know they cannot change anything because of the ingrained corruption, so only a new party made up of the people you mentioned have a shout, and they can't form that party 1 month before an election!
... covid scared of politicians too , so it does not go to political rallies. It only goes to families and friends homes, church, work, schools and restaurants!
... what is moronic is ignoring the abundance of medical information that makes it clear that the vaccinated can still get covid and spread it to your grandfather who might die from it! The good news is that even if unvaccinated, more than 98% of people will live!
... anybody who has spent any time interviewing entry level workers knows that the majority are functionally illiterate. Can't read well, can't spell, can't think critically or problem solve. They can only serve in areas where they are told exactly what to do (put the peas here and the beans there"). Combine that with no work ethic or moral values and you have a major problem that he thinks I should pay for!
Wages would increase if there was a pool of people who had an actual (not paper) 12th grade education, were willing to work and could think critically and they didn't 'tief' your envelopes, pens, stationery and time!
... a more important point to be made is what is being done for people when they are diagnosed as covid positive? Are they just sent home without medications that can help until they worsen to a point of no return? We do not know!!
It is simply not enough to say that people get covid and die. More than 98% of people who are infected recover. Nobody ever talks about what they might have done that may have helped!
As of August 16th the CDC reports that almost 10,000 vaccinated people were hospitalized or died from covid. That does not factor in other countries noting the same trend.
Might our mortality rates reflect the inadequacy of care people are given? Has the government ever released how patients are managed and how that equates to what is being done around the world? We may never know, because investigative journalism in the Bahamas is dead!
... I read somewhere recently that 59% of those hospitalized in Israel were fully vaccinated! I trust this government to tell the truth about nothing! The science about covid and these "vaccines" is not settled, it is evolving. So no one should act as though they know it all! It is exhausting!
