This is truly a heart breaking story. People will not be able to go on for much longer. That is something Minnis can't seem to understand from his ivory tower! There will come a breaking point for many people. God help us all!
Not only that, this seems to be poorly coordinated. If it was a controlled landing... why wasn't there persons on the ground to receive it? Allowing the public to interact with such materials doesn't seem to be a good idea. SMH
Honestly, I think all of the doctors concerns are valid. <br/><br/> No one can be **forced** to give up their lives to save another. So I can't blame these doctors. HIV is a totally different kettle of fish. It's a sexually transmitted disease so the risk to the doctors would be minimal. <br/>This represents a real risk to them and/or elderly family members. So anyone has the right to chose the way in which they serve. There is a **real risk of death** here and how many of us are willing to give up our lives or our parents lives to save another?<br/> If they have valid concerns about PPE, I don't blame them. It is their right to choose.
With all the bullying this government been doing to the entire nation, I believe it! <br/> This government seems to have the mentality of **everyone must fall in line** to whatever we say. At the end of the day, voices of opposition serve an important role to keep **everyone accountable** and also to keep new ideas / innovations flowing.
I think the alphabetical shopping system (in its current form) needs to be canceled permanently. It doesn't make sense bringing back something that worked out so horribly. <br/> Either make the necessary amendments to it or cancel it!!! smh
A similar idea is being posed by the US. But they are actually asking for an antibody test. Many people who have Covid will never know they did. <br/><br/> So while with the *regular* Covid test, you may test negative (although you already had it)... the antibody test will show that you had it and are now immune (at least for a certain period of time.) Once you are immune, you will also no longer pass it on to others through respiratory droplets.<br/><br/> So these people can be allowed back to work without worrying about the spread of the virus. However, the antibody test has not been fully developed yet.
Yes this is kind of a **fashion** photo op. The photo says they are wearing these cloth masks **over** their N95 masks. Pretty pointless!!<br/><br/> Cloth masks truly won't offer much protection and can cause more issues if they are not constantly washed. <br/> I don't think the general public needs to wear N95s but **not** cloth masks either. I guess the patients will still get sick with the cloth masks, but at least they will be fashionable when sick right? smh
This is really stupid! What's the point of reviewing for a downgrade now? At least wait until the world is back up on it's feet first, then examine how we are doing in comparison.<br/><br/> So in reality they need to downgrade the whole world! What a time for Moody's to show their bias! It's not like it's only The Bahamas' economy being affected. Experts everywhere say the **whole world is in a temporary recession**. smh
It's so ridiculous. Someone told me that they even refuse to test persons who have lived with Covid19 patients unless they have difficulty breathing (according to the silly hotline). <br/><br/> The government has truly dropped the ball on this. To me, it also elucidates the higher death rate. It is not only because we don't know the true status of cases. It's also because they test and/or treat people only when they have gotten to the point of respiratory distress/hypoxia. So these people are so bad off before they are accepted, they die soon after. <br/><br/> Around here, it seems to be... you're own your own! If you are able to afford the purchase of a **pulse oximeter** tool to put on your finger to track your **oxygen saturation**, God forbid you have difficulty breathing - get one!!<br/><br/> This government playing games with people's lives. <br> Ya better look out fur ya sef!!! A word to the wise...
