There is the heavily populated Elbow Cay Shantytown, never acknowledged to exist by the central authorities...and there are even more shantytowns still in full popoulaces operation in the Abaco's!
There's no escaping the worst, should the central authority's official count begins to point to the virus has taken its killer hold over the Abaco's? Nod Once for Yeah, Twice for No?

My guess is that they are only testing those that have symptoms, and those that may have been exposed to someone who tested positive - similar to like in the US. Like you said, it should still be more than 28 a day though. Weekends tend to skew data due to delays in reporting.

Minnis is obviously enjoying spanking all of his dumb Bahamian plebes and relishes the thought of being able to do so for as long as he wishes to remain the 'incompetent' authority. Come September 30 he will again extend the emergency period so he can continue to be the supreme ruler and spanker of his lowly misbehaved minions.
