The locations of the other cases are pending.
They've been pending for the last 2 MONTHS!

lol. It would make sense at this point to label them as location impossible to ascertain

Pending makes no sense. According to the competent Authority, it is the health team who decides what is opened or closed. These announcements make no sense beaches in Grand Bahama and Nassau close at noon. but other islands open until whenever according to the PM on the floor of the house.
The Bahamas is in deep trouble.

So foolish comrade POAL, have reached out to extend the we want so much trust the 35 House-elected MPs, the politically appointed senators, yes, even the paid to knowingly skew the arithmetic, some benefit doubting that they would never go as far as to stoop to see an increasing number of new virus patients being admitted into hospitals ICU, with such bold-faced contempt even while they idly sit by observing the more unfortunate not recovering from virus awaiting their turn be rolled into the morgue - whose freezer slabs were constructed hold but a single stiff but now overcrowded with 4 more frozen bodies.
Why bother to make this stuff up. There is just not need to play politics. Shakehead** once for Yeah, Twice for Not?

These numbers aren't good. And there goes Minnis and DAguilar again talking up the restart to tourism without the requirement or infrastructure that everyone entering the country is tested on arrival. The key to controlling this virus is not allowing it to cross the border. Not locking people up on the inside. Control the border, control the virus.

Are you serious? Look at the actual stats.
We have a case-fatality rate higher than 90% of countries We have a mortality rate higher than 90% of countries We have a case per 100k people higher than 90% of countries
The virus is well within our borders a d out of control.
People coming here would have to have a deathwish.

The reason we have this issue was due to us opening the borders in July. This reopening allowed Bahamians to leave for trips and tourists to come in. The virus prior to this was contained and we had the situation dealt with. It was a poor decision that led us down this road.
Nowz there's no plan, no strategy. Just let it ride.

I am very serious. We got these numbers by opening the border irresponsibly. Control the border control the virus.

My Comrade ThisIsOurs, the majority have come to believe that Mr. Minnis and Dionoiso James, came from a distant planet but would help lots if we knew which planet along with the distance traveled so we earthlin's' can begin prep for their return back their weird kinds?

Is it any surprise that we're having this spike in cases and deaths 2 weeks (the incubation period of the virus) after the PM decided to adopt the Trump-esque policy of pretending the virus doesn't exist? Maybe our new tourism slogan can be "Come vacation in place at one of our overflowing hospitals or morgues."

and if Joe Biden was president he would not have banned flights from China due to it being xenophobic and it may cause panic. Wait!, maybe that’s where the Bahamas obtained the virus, since the Bahamas is squarely in the back pocket of China!!! Ohhhhhh something to ponder.......
