Unless we start doing something different these stats are only going to get worse. These are appalling numbers for a small nation like ours. What I would like to know is how many positive tests are we recording against the number of tests taken? This provides a good indicator of how much of a community spread we have. In Europe, I believe they are aiming for a ratio of under 5% I suspect our ratio is much higher. The Health authorities need to show this ratio on their dashboard.

Good Comrade Jesus, unimaginable but is The Colony's hospitals ICU's at the ready for a 600 a new 3-day reporting period new cases of COVID-19 with death count heading to hit 15-20 over a 3-day period? Abaco's counts are climbing with Long island becoming a serious virus contender.
*Shakehead once for Yeah, and still, delusional health officials claiming the virus numbers are trending in the right direction, and then there is the equally delusional Dioniso James, 'ems is so upset that the hotels won't reopen, nor are cruise ships ready be calling on we ports, Twice for Not?

Minnis and D'Aguilar should have long ago resigned from government. They each have much death on their hands and absolutely no shame or remorse. They are an utter disgrace and embarrassment to our country.
