... in addition, the most common symptoms of covid are just not feeling well, headaches or bodyaches, not necessarily fever. So if someone takes tylenol for their undiagnosed covid headache or bodyaches you can't pick up a fever with the thermometer since tylenol reduces fever. So what they are doing is basically useless.
For months now I have been advocating for antibody testing. This is the only thing other countries are doing that we have not copied! People who test positive for antibodies to coronavirus may have already had it without symptoms and are unlikely to be reinfected if exposed to it again Remember, over 12 million people have had this disease and I am not aware of any confirmed cases where someone has had it twice!
Those who test antibody positive should have been the first group of people allowed to return to work. (customs and immigration workers, baggage handlers, taxi drivers, front desk clerks etc.)
Tourists should be in specific areas to minimize their ability to increase community spread. They should be able to rent a jet ski or go on the beach with proper precautions. There should be no indoor dining only spaced outdoor dining.
We should increase boating visits and docking and mooring fees.
Bahamians should be banned from traveling overseas.
The country does not have to be shut down completely, but specific steps must be taken to protect those who are vulnerable. How can we know who they are if we do no antibody testing?
@ThisIsOurs... Minnis is an idiot, because he is a doctor and former minister of health who should have a basic knowledge of medicine. But, he does not know his limitations. This also means that the leadership team at the Ministry of Health should be replaced immediately and Dahl Regis should be fired as a consultant. From day one they have been behind the eight ball. They did not close the borders early enough and decided to open them too soon. Their contact tracing has been a failure. They failed to protect healthcare workers in the past and had to send 150 of them home at one point! They kept Bimini open for six weeks after the first case was diagnosed and only closed it down after more positive cases were found. They shut down islands where there were no cases or travel to those islands. They allow people to go into the closed environment of a gym huffing and puffing, or to dine indoors, but won't allow families outdoors on the beach. They previously admitted they could not find two people who tested positive but had not put a means in place to track those in self isolation. And they failed to do enough testing and simply will not do any antibody testing.
This team has been a disaster and should be removed. Sands should not be allowed to return since his performance wasn't that good either, he simply communicated better. They need to allow the people who deal with infectious diseases to manage this, since it is an infectious disease problem!
And every voter in Killarney should get the cat o nine tails for putting such a dunce in the HOA!
So may unanswered questions: where did he go? was it by plane or boat? who else was on the plane, are they tracing them as welI?
In the past people who tested positive were sent home unmonitored by a tracking system. What assurance do we have that this person won't be in the grocery store or some other public place tomorrow or the day after?
As long as the Black Live Matter movement continues with their protests and illogical demands, it will increases chances for Trump to get re-elected. The average American hates lawlessness and disorder and while there was some initial sympathy because of George Floyd, that is starting to cool. As people visit the BLM website and see their anti-nuclear family and pro trans rights, socialist agenda and the stance Democrats are taking against law enforcement, opinions will shift against them. As Biden mulls choosing a black woman for a potential vice presidential candidate people will shift away from him as well. People want potential leaders based on meritocracy, not from pandering to identity politics. Particularly since most people don't expect Biden to finish his first term. Once (if) debates are held, Trump will have a more substantive record of accomplishments in 4 years, despite his failures, than Biden has had in 40 years. Once the economy starts to rev up, with or without covid, Trump is likely to be re-elected.
But no need to speculate, elections are just 4 short months away!
The epidemic of sexual addiction and its consequences will be even more apparent in the next five years in this generation of those who can twerk but can't solve simple problems. This is symptomatic of the deconstruction of the nuclear family and the absolute loss of moral values that abounds. How can we build a country with those who are uneducated, lack self control and only have sex on their minds?
