Minnis was the Bahamian Judas. Whilst he had BLACK BAHAMIANS BUSINESS on lockdown this r closed, the white businesses were either OPEN or receiving Government Assistance. Tell Minnis to CYC

John, you are full of your own racist bigotry. White businesses are still closed, partially open or failed entirely.

Name one that is still closed. I’ll wait. In fact name one that failed also. I know of numerous Black businesses that closedown. Many businesses that applied for government assistance and found the application process too tedious or invasive or some who managed to get through it and were told that the funds were exhausted, wait for the next tranche, then told that again and again. Bet you don’t know the story behind why a certain shoe store is now selling small kitchen appliances.

But nevertheless whilst here chattering in black and white, the fourth wave of Covid is a raging around the world! The number of daily new cases can surpass the number of new cases of the Delta strain when it was at its peak, in a matter of days. . . And while most of the cases are in Russia and Europe, at least 21 states in the US are seeing surges. When the fourth wave began, reports were that there were a lot of breakthrough cases, especially amongst those who took third booster shots. But as the fourth wave arrived and started to blanket the US, the reports are that the new cases are mostly amongst the unvaccinated. But the US is still urging citizens to get their third booster shots ( second of the Johnson and Johnson and some experts say the second shot should not be Johnson and Johnson but another brand). And the US is also rushing to vaccinate children 5-11 years old even though outbreaks among this group has been sparodic and the number of deaths negligible. At least two companies have applied for approval of oral medications that reportedly significantly reduces the symptoms of Covid and lessens the chance of hospitalization or deaths. These medications are said to cost between $300 to $400 per treatment. . . This country is as wide open as it has been in 16 months. And with the great amounts of social and economic activity, clearly there’s some type of immunity in effect, among Bahamians and residents alike. But , as in the past, if a fourth wave hits this country, it will be brought in from the outside. The borders are extremely porous and the coming week will be a busy one both for residents traveling abroad and for tourists coming here. Many Bahamians believe the pandemic is over and are partying likewise. Some places Bahamians travel to or tourists come from do not have Covid restrictions in place, including the wearing of masks. So the rules here must be strictly enforced over the next few weeks and probably leading right through the Christmas holidays.

It is unproven by bigpharma that a group of Protease Inhibitors that include some badmouthed ones will save you from covid but phz made its own for about less than 700.00 while the very bad mouthed Ivermectin and Hydroxyquine cost 2.00. Marketing wins lives lost.

Austria tried locking down only unvaccinated persons when the fourth wave hit. But the situation got worse. Now that country is going into full lockdown on Monday. But the experts say this may create an even worse situation. Locking down healthy people who can be out keeping the economy going. Dr Scott Atlas says if the world didn’t deny the science and not discounted the natural immunity of persons who recovered from the virus, the situation will be less severe. And now vaccinating young children against a virus that is disappearing.
