FOUR Grand Bahama residents with COVID-19 require intensive care, three of them are under intubation.
The Public Hospitals Authority also said yesterday that six others are receiving care in the medical/surgical unit, but no COVID-19-positive patient has been admitted to a public hospital in New Providence.
The PHA’s update came after Prime Minister Philip “Brave” Davis said there is no need to reintroduce COVID-19 mandates such as wearing masks, but people are recommended to wear them, and businesses could enforce a mask mandate.
Former Health Minister Dr Duane Sands, the chairman of the Free National Movement, said on Wednesday that the COVID-19 ward at the Rand Memorial Hospital is full. He said health officials on that island are concerned about the situation.

... even at the height of covid, 90% of infected people had no symptoms, so there is a huge difference between having the infection and it being the cause of your symptoms. Especially in flu season when other kinds of viruses are around! With Duane Sands involved, this likely has more to do with political science than medical science!

The worst outcomes from Covid (ie.death) could have been prevented if folks hadn’t listened to quacks and crackpots issuing ‘info’ and ‘statistics’ about this virus and/or the vaccines that saved millions of lives. Studies show that the majority of those (27%) who showed no symptoms were among children and the current situation is that of the children hospitalized 5% were vaccinated. Adults showing no symptoms was much lower around 15% and again the unvaccinated are the majority of the patients hospitalized and in ICU and/or intubated.
So anyone w/ symptoms would have been tested for the all flu, Covid, etc. There just isn’t enough beds to pretend otherwise. And do you really think the MOH wants to jack up the Covid numbers given that only 44% of the pop in their care here has had one jab out of the required 6 shots for full immunization?? Think!
