Problem is that this is not arithmetic, it is exponential growth, doubling or tripling at certain intervals.
If you are going to extrapolate, you have to use Italy as an example, not Wuhan.
1. Wuhan was on lockdown. 2. Wuhan data has been censored.
For a few days they tried not to allow shopping cartsout of the food store. I shop at a particular store every day and the packing boy tried to stop me from rolling a 20 lb bag of dog food. I approached the manager and stood silently staring him down. He then told me to roll the cart.
Mind you sometimes I forget to bring a bag, or stop at the store unexpectedly. Bag or not, I stop at the security to produce my receipt.
What Ban? I am using exactly the same number of plastic bags I have used in the many past years. I always reused grocery bags as garbage bags, now I just buy garbage bags. same amount of plastics.
i always avoided styrofoam containers and have my ow ceramic dishes.
Want to ban something? Have the cojones to ban soft plastic water and soda bottles.
I saw a woman the other day in a deli who brought her own reusable container to carry her drink. The employee said they had to put the drink in the plastic cup because they could not measure the quantity in the reusable container.
Most of the plastic in the sea is from fishing nets anyway.

You all remember when the PLP promised 10000 jobs from day one after the election. Was that realistic?
Lol
Just a matter of percentages, with Abaco depopulated the 6% unemployment about right.🤗
