... I don't know why, but I continue to be surprised at how ignorant and gullible and almost child-like in their beliefs Bahamians are around election time. Our history with politicians has taught us (collectively) absolutely nothing! We deserve whatever we get because we refuse to think!!
... another copycatting exercise since vaccination does not stop a person from contracting or spreading covid. It is also likely for a person to get covid AFTER they have done the test for admission! Antibody testing to assess for recent or past infection might be a better place to start! In addition, delta variant affects the lungs more than the upper airway so rapid antigen tests are likely to be negative even while the person is infected!
... the governments job is not to provide for people that which they would be able to provide for themselves if they were (relatively) educated and able to work. The problem is that they want to increase the populations dependency on the government instead of educating the population and creating opportunities for those who want to work to do so!. It is the same kind of thinking that has democratic run states like California deep in debt, high crime and low in personal responsibility!
... with or without a vaccine, the only people who won't get infected are those who hold their breaths all day!
Secondly, the article could at least have mentioned the amount of bed Drs actually has and the amount dedicated to COVID patients!
Thirdly, Dr Diggiss said “…We continue to be overrun with the treatment of COVID patients, but we find space when we have to find space.”
If they can find space then they aren't overrun. The real question is are they keeping people admitted in order to milk the cow dry! If you ever stayed in Doctors you know what I mean!
... you can campaign in groups or at nomination day if you are unknowingly covid positive, but you can't vote if you are? Makes no sense to me! Provisions can be made for voting to take place outdoors with the necessary safeguards in place.
It is also important to note the PCR test cannot tell if the virus is dead or alive. So a positive test does not mean a person is infectious It has been confirmed that a person can be over covid and asymptomatic but still have a positive PCR test because bits of dead virus are still present in the system!
...neither "Brave" Davis or Minnis are fit to run this country. Vote out all politicians who have held a political office for at least 10 years and let a new leader emerge depending on the party that wins! Its the only chance we have! We cannot continue to allow people to make a career out of politics. Let them go get a real job!
... I hope Bahamians are smart enough to vote against career politicians. They have all the answers when in Opposition, but are dismal failures at implementing beneficial policies and they grow fat at the teat of the public treasury and under the table deals. People need to leave their emotions out of voting!
... yep, not interested in what they have to say. They all played games with elections when they were in power and they are all responsible for this being a 4th world country! Can't believe these losers get a pension!
