These developers just lie through their teeth once they start and get the green light they do what they want and seldom produce the jobs promised. Mean while concessions rob the Bahamian people...heritage is a once off developers come and go...

Covid IFR are so low I m not sure how any politicians can justify the economic damage of lockdowns...but this thing in Eleuthera is stupid. Cases only spiked because testing arrived on island for reopening and the gov failure to hold Spanish wells to same yard stick indefensible. They closed down the food store In SW there was so many cases. Yet no Lockdown. 38 people tested positive on antigen tests (More than then south or central with numerous settlements) but because it’s not A pcr they don’t include it in count. It’s criminal..

Sorry this article is bogus (never mind that is just a blog on at hospital webpage) but cites three studies 1) isn't a study it's outdated cnn article on a study from April. 2) is study about kids are asymptomatic with high viral loads but doesn't say they actually do (it says "the have the capacity to"). 3) Finally the third isn't about asymptomatic people it's about pre-symptomatic persons.

Again I'll say it again very little evidence supporting wide spread asymptomatic spread. The closest thing to case studies are schools and there is very mixed results. What is clear is that younger kids tend to be more oftenly asymptomatic and more less likely to spread to the infection. COVID is spread by droplets (and airborne particles) produced in coughs or sneezes (both symptoms of the disease) persons not sneezing/coughing when infected would likely spread the disease less..though can spread it would airborne particles (much lower viral load) in vocal cords.

Presymptomatic is not the same as asymptomatic. There little to no evidence supporting high levels of asymptomatic transmission.

I don t see anything that suggests otherwise in your article? It’s ‘they may’ I am citing The Who who just note that is rare/unquantifiable.

Did The Who changed their stance?

Jury so far is out...there seems to be a weak correlation between asymptomatic infection and transmission.

This is sad mostly because the people snitching are obviously living in fear... cdc best estimates COVID is less deadly then the flu across pretty much all age groups...

0-19 years: 0.00003
20-49 years: 0.0002
50-69 years: 0.005
70+ years: 0.054

CDC best guess of IFR - 0-19 years: 0.00003 20-49 years: 0.0002. 50-69 years: 0.005. 70+ years: 0.054....covid is basically less deadly then the flu now in basically most age groups.. bizarre
