The government has clearly backed off of trying to control the virus. It is too widespread now. It's now down to each of us to take whatever precautions are reasonable for our age and vulnerability. The hospitals are full, there is no vaccine coming any time soon. Take care of yourselves people and your loved ones.

Minnis put the vast majority of us all through holy hell for what?!
How does he justify still clinging to his self-appointment as our supreme ruler a/k/a competent authority?

CDC’s new IFR survivability estimates after contracting the virus are broken down by age as part of the agency’s “COVID-19 Pandemic Planning Scenarios" Scenario 5: Current Best Estimate are as follows:
0-19 years old survivability rate is 99.997% 20-49 years old survivability rate is 99.98% 50-69 years old survivability rate is 99.5% 70 years old or older survivability rate is 94.6%
To put that in a different perspective the CDC’s new estimate for the death rate after contracting COVID-19 by age are:
0-19 years old death rate is .003% or .00003 20-49 years old death rate is .02% or .0002 50-69 years old death rate is .5%% or .005 70 years old or older death rate is 5.4% or .054
What do these numbers show?

Frankly, I'm more concerned with the numbers on the Bahamas dashboard and the fact that our hospitals are currently overwhelmed. Your stats are no comfort to the families of the 101 Bahamians who have already died of this dangerous virus.

Frankly I m more concerned with the numbers children that being killed Or hospitalized through Increase in domestic violence or crime, or suicides that have skyrocketed, or the fact 100,000 people can’t feed themselves, that 1000s of infants are not getting adequate nutrition, 10s of 1000s of children whose education is being deprived, or that around 660 people die of cardiac disease in this country every year. I worry for my friends that can’t get bioS because of the backlog in cancer diagnostics. Where was your righteous indignation on the fact that before COVID19 fried chicken and lack of excise has been killing bahamians in 100s each year. The Bahamian dash board is a joke. We don’t Know anything from it except that 96 people died most of whom had serious underlying diseases and potentially would likely be apart of 2500 people that die each year anyway. Hospitalized is also inaccurate because includes anyone in hospital that test positive for corvid even they are there for other reasons...But because we don’t do statists well in the Bahamas it’s all academic..,the cdc while not the best agency in the world for health metrics does have some interesting data relevant to our existence. Maybe give it some thought ;) spoiler alert COVID is bad but not really that that bad...

It means that if 100,000 30 year olds believe that 100% of them are going to die if they contract the Wuhan Flu - 99,998 of them are very wrong

Once inter island travel is open, unfortunately the cases will zoom in the Family Islands that are so protected from outsiders, will lead to more changes, closures, ect.
