where is the so glorified capitalism? People want freedom and free market and the free market should satisfy people's needs. Now we have a virus out there but everybody needs a normal life, needs to travel and so on, so why is the damn free capitalist market not satisfying these needs? Where is the competition to offer discount rates ICU beds? "reserve 2 ICU beds today and get 50% discount!". Why is the system so miserably failing on something that minuscule as covid19?!
US has about 1000x bigger population than Bahamas. Now how much is 69 * 1000? How many cases are in the US recently? They have somewhere around 50.000- 70.000, _daily_. That's same prevalence as 70 daily cases in the Bahamas. Now you know how having 70.000 cases in the US feels like
The most important question is: did the government increase the ICU capacity since the epidemic start? What has been done since Feb-March? Anything? Anything except locking everybody up?
If not, so whats the plan? Hide the head into the sand like the ostrich? Covid will not go away, understand. It is endemic mostly everywhere. You can hide a year, two or three in the sand but it still will be there when you pull your head out. So what now? Lock down for 1-2-3-4 years? Or maybe 10 years? 20 years? Who offers more?
but we did. Now there is same prevalence as in US. Equally it doesn't make sense that Florida closes the borders to Georgia and Alabama, they have similar prevalence. We've lost it already, take it and live with it.
I would like to remark that 69 daily cases in the Bahamas are equivalent to roughly 70.000 daily cases in the US, taken into account the population size. So, we have same prevalence now as the US. In conclusion it also makes absolutely no sense to close the border to the US.
so this is like 80% of people not feeling sick at all despite having covid19! This matches also reports from other countries.
Now tell me how dangerous a "disease" can be when only 20% of infected show symptoms at all? and how many of these 20% are heavily sick? 10%? So we are talking about a virus that infect mostly everybody and mostly nobody feels anything at all and for that we are all held like hostages - right?
