... obviously comprehension is not your strength. The point was not to try and compare this to the flu, but to question whether or not, based on current mortality rates with higher rates of confirmed infections, this might be a different strain of virus from the first wave (possibly more infectious, but less deadly)!
... yes the 3 deaths were acknowledged. 3 deaths from 608 cases which is 0.5% mortality for this second wave so far (about the same as the flu). Makes one wonder if this wave is caused by a less dangerous strain of virus, but only time will tell!
@ themessenger... I bet if Minnis read your message and decided to "keep his shoulder to the wheel", his response would cause us to hear the sound of his car horn honking well into the night!!
@proudloudandfnm... I can only guess you are saying chill because you are smoking grass and/or are not an employer that is trying not to let staff go while business is erratic !!
... the first time Minnis had an impromptu lockdown it drove people in Nassau to grocery stores, banks and water depots en masse. I would think that should be the opposite of what one should hope for in this kind of pandemic!
