On the day that WHO advised against lockdowns as effective remedy to community transmission... given the economic and social repercussions...

Well the ‘health professionals‘ have all but killed The Bahamas at least the economist might be able to count...

This is just disgusting how can you attribute deaths to a disease before you know for certain if it is the cause. This Is called data laundering - basically you steal deaths from other causes To to justify policy. Gives Minnis a political cushion to do what he wants down the road. Similarly they have adjusted data by new definitions of recovery and oops-a-daisy also have been double counting cases. So actually perfectly safe to open (nothing to do with protests in the streets, a third of the country is unable to feed itself and business left and right are facing financial ruin) This whole Country needs to sue Minnis and ministry health for this incredible saga of botched policy making... **Minnis Must resign now**. Let the economists have a go...

So as if by magic...the Minnis brigade finally understand the consequence of economic stagnation and the wrath that will entail if not addressed. Bottom line is yes they screwed up letting folks run off to the usa and come back with out a test, but opening the country was not issue. The fact that 1% of transmission is attributable to tourist transmission illustrates there is salvation for ruins of this economy. Let’s hope it happens before too many businesses go under...

This is a tiny tiny Tiny tiny proportion of the over all cases. And can be found with influenzas such as h1n1. Bottom line is the vast majority get through this thing either without even knowing they have it or at home with rest immune boosting supplements. I don t understand why people focus on the panic-y And ultimately less prevalent nature of this thing rather than the positive. Let’s wash hands, wear our masks don’t go clubbing and get on with it!!!!?

But far less then other countries that locked down. Including the UK, Spain and Italy. There is 100,000 people facing food uncertainty in this this country, babies facing malnutrition, And yet they death rate still one tenth (even with them throwing unconfirmed cases into the count) of the mortality rate of cardiovascular diseases related to poor diet. Thats immoral! Across the world the hunger pandemic will dwarf what COVID kills and that’s policy result not the disease.

Also doctoring data where else can one attribute deaths to a disease before they are actually investigated. Essentially doubled death count without Completing the investigation into whether they actually died of or with COVID. Crazy.

It's not either or...with out a healthy economy you don't have healthy citizens. You have excess death generated from late diagnosis of diseases and surgeries that are canceled, you have increase in crime, you have 10s of thousand of people that cannot feed themselves, you have increase in depression, domestic crime and abuse, you damage the development of the youth and their educational progress. You are not factoring in these very obvious hazards to health associated with shutting down the economy; meanwhile the average chances off dying of covid in the Bahamas is right is 29 out 385,000 or 0.0075%. You have on average 500+ dying of vascular diseases each year that are associated with poor diet and exercise....I wish people could take a little bit of broader view of the situation...and put it in perspective....Even in the USA chances surviving COVID are 99.8% and that not's including people that have natural T-cell immunity to it or might never get infected...Yes this disease is bad but not worth destroying the economy over...

They have not been deducting non COVID deaths count is 29 - minus 5 - totally infact have perished because the disease not 34 or even 29.

We are not on the brink of anything other than economic collapse because Of an over reaction to bad data. Case fatality rate is one the lowest in the world right now. There is not a tsunami of death only a wave of fear and mild cases. Even if Every single person in hospital didn t survive the death toll would be less the half of the major the causes of death in country for which there is no dramatic action or remedy taken in spite their burden on the health system.
