Was so mocked upon the announcement by Mr. Theodore Minnis that within 60 days of his July 1, opening that The Colony will have done hit the 700 testing virus-positive. Nod Once for Yeah it only accounts for the Central Aurhotiey's official confirmed cases counter., Twice for No?

Pray for the Bahamas, can't imagine dealing with Tropical Storm Isaias and Category 5 Hurricane Minnis at the same time!

You know republicans are regreting that stupid no deaths thing a couple of weeks ago right? 1000 deaths a day now in the USA.
Can we please not echo dumb American right wing theories?
Thanks....

Deaths trail Hospitalizations, Hospitalizations Trail Cases. This is Correct. The hope is we catch it early enough to prevent the death numbers as those who find and trace early are able to keep the death count low.
But the number is the number so don't get too hard on the poster. They haven't made any theories, To your point, I do get the possible implication.

You missed the point entirely.

This PM will use numbers to continue to press his knee on the neck of the Bahamian people. His ignornace and arrogance are two sides of an incompetent coin.

Thanks to the incompetent authority, think on this, had you let us wash off our sins and enjoy what GOD gave to us, upon other things THE BEACH on our independence day maybe, no most likely we would have been ok, but THE FATHER is showing you who is, and showing us who is in charge and it ain't YOU. Having people pulled of the bus, that is so degrading, most Bahamians won't be caught dead riding a bus, and the ones who have to is pulled off WITHOUT WARNING just like the passengers at the Lyden Airport were treated, WOW, and then AFTERWARDS maybe a fake apology. WOW

I know you're trying to say something here. Just can't tell what it is....
You think if people were allowed on the beach there'd be no pandemic? Then something about a bus ride.
Hmmm ....

Looks like the entire country is about to be locked down again...
Can we not open the borders to the Americans until they stop being absolute morons please?
Thank you..

Isaias is on its way start preparing, COVID-19 will be a joke.
ISpeakFacts 4 years, 3 months ago
Isaias is nothing compared to Category 5 Minnis!

Until we realize that the government cannot really help win this covid battle......only if people, each taking personal responsibility, changing our actions, and doing what is sensible.....only then will we win this battle.....the government is helpless if the people do not comply. So stop looking for some magical governmental plan to save our lives, it's in your own power to save our country, people.
