I'm sorry to say this was predictable. I said this would happen. <br/>
Anyone with a brain could see this would happen. Anyone besides our precious government officials I guess!!! SMH <br/><br/>
You're so right. It truly seems they are reading the book "**How to Infect an Entire Island at Once, for Dummies!!!**"

Proudloud... You are entitled to your opinion!<br/>
I just hope you aren't one of those who end up with Covid because of having to stand in a long line with people coughing around you less than 3 feet away!!!

So now, grocery stores will be crazy again! Minnis, you have no clue!!!! SMH <br/>
His orders are causing more panic and causing more crowds to gather!!!!!<br/><br/>

Shoppers are not adhering to social distancing at all. I'm sorry to say but Minnis is helping to spread this virus. Tribune/ZNS/EW news **please video tape** (and send to Minnis) the chaos that will be caused Mon-Wed of this week, cause Minnis really doesn't get it.

Agreed. These short notice warnings do add to the problem and do not help. I passed several food stores on Friday evening and the lines were crazy. Plus, social distancing was not being practiced.<br/><br/>
This ad hoc style of delivering emergency orders (EO) is not wise. Why couldn't the order be given on Friday morning or Thursday evening? Don't let your EOs cause more issues than they are solving!! SMH

Well, Roberts has a point. When I saw the lines at Super Value... I said "Heck No!!" Even though I wanted to shop there, I changed my mind and decided to wait. lol

Of course there is over 100 cases. <br/>
Remember, this death (if it is Covid) came from a place with **zero** cases. So we can say the **testing** is increasing, more than the cases are increasing. 14 is a joke and not realistic. It is much more than that. The cases have been here a long time ago and probably spreading among the asymptomatic much more than was realized. However, we will never know the true state due to lack of testing.

tell_it_like_it_is says...

I'm sorry joe, but that could only happen in a perfect scenario. <br/> Even the essential workers are moving around constantly. Then, because our testing is minimal we will never know which of them is also infected and passing it around, if they are asymptomatic.<br/><br/>Thinking that if we stay home, this will all go away is unrealistic. It can reduce the spread, **but definitely not eliminate it**.

Why oh why does the government allow so many people to get away with this problem? It's called **stealing**! If you are taking people's money for NIB and **not paying** NIB, that's stealing plain and simple. <br/><br/>

So when I get a knife and rob someone of $50, I get 10 years in prison. But when these companies steal hundreds of thousands of dollars (or millions), **nothing happens** to them. This problem only exists because the **government allows it**. Where are the **real consequences** for businesses who continue to **not pay**... month after month after month???

<br/>I'm so sick and tired of the harsh penalties on the poor man. But yet, businesses continue to get away with murder. If you want to be harsh, be **harsh for everyone**. That's fairness. SMH

Yeah, they are talking about problems in Nassau. This may be the first death and if true... they have to come up with solutions to the health care systems in the Family Islands. <br/><br/>

This is why I was talking about a balanced approach. You CAN'T just keep people home into perpetuity!! What is being done to scaffold the health care system in Nassau and the Family Islands? Did they make any **concrete** plans for how to address the needs of Family Island residents? (My guess is probably just a half-hearted approach.)<br/><br/>
This government must take a multi-tiered approach. Quarantine is just one aspect to consider. What is being done for the hospitals here and in the Family Islands? What are the **long-term** economic plans for recovery, etc. <br/>You can't just say stay home, stay home, stay home and don't have **concrete** practical solutions for everything else.
<br/><br/>
Let's think now, if they didn't know if she had Covid or not, were the hospital staff wearing protective gear? Were other patients exposed? The deficiencies in the hospital system need to be addressed also. SMH

We all know that there are much more than 10 cases here. More than **likely there are hundreds of cases** for anyone who is willing to be truthful (we just haven't tested all the infected).<br/><br/>
What I'm actually happy to see is that **there are no deaths here at this time**, especially after the hundreds of cases that actually exist, if we want to be honest.<br/>
So there is no need to be so alarmed every time an infected person is tested! There are many infected people here who simply don't know it!!!
