The death count due to Covid-19 is likely understated as was the case with Hurricane Dorian. Many of these deaths and others to come can be directly attributed to Minnis and D'Aguilar's fateful and most foolish decision to prematurely reopen our country's borders on July 1. Both of them should have long ago resigned from government.
