If people are FOLLOWING QUARANTINE PROCEDURES PROPERLY, like this man did, how would that happen?
This is not a proper time to debate rather a time to pray for our deceased brother, may the Lord bless him and keep him, praise Jesus.
Doesn’t our people know that every death is virus these days and that whoever is being paid to say this. Do our people not know that all of this is a lie and is designed to fill us with fear. As a people haven’t we got any faith at all in our Creator and the air He provided us to breathe. Is our faith in Him or what man says. Come on people know your history. Know who you are. The Father told us Israelites that we are a set apart people that are to trust Him not man. Don’t let the world drag you into their fear and lies. This lie is going to steal your freedom and make you a slave again. Is that what our people want caus that’s where this fear is heading. Wake up Israelites
okay. i wanna say what you will say when you catch covid and fall very sick actually dying from it.
Hang on a minute, this is the guy who contracted
pneumonia. So he may of had contracted Covid, but surely he died of the pneumonia, but no they are going to say he died of Covid.
Political miss information.
Or if we want to get really technical we could say that everyone dies of a stopping heart.
Pneumonia is a disease process which can be caused by COVID. If he died from pneumonia after contracting COVID he most certainly died from COVID. Pneumonia is not a separate disease. Your comment is like saying “he didn’t die from pneumonia; he died from not breathing.”
Borders cannot be closed. How will the country survive?
So sad open border to Covid-19. Have you or your family got some land.. then since thing started you should have done something so that you can survive. You could have grown enough vegetables etc..so you, the neighbours and fellow Grenadains could swap items…in the not too distant past people grew their own fruits and vegetables..and they had a few chickens. Nowadays it’s all about tourism..that’s not the answer. If we do things right then we can have our borders open again.
What continues to amaze me is that so many people still actually believe that we can fight the virus effectively by continuing to let it in and then (by) jumping around trying to “catch and isolate it” locally. I repeat: once we keep our borders open the virus will CONTINUE to come in. Talk about the height of illiteracy! Come see it here in the Caribbean – as practiced by Suriname, Jamaica, Barbados, Grenada, St. Vincent……. Utter nonsense. Will we EVER learn?
I for one is not buying this as virus death but the WHO wants that stats in order to scare the sh*t out of us and so far they are doing a fine job.
WALOB Storm. You’re just a conspiracy theorist. You probably think Trump won the election too.
No doubt you’ll wise up if you get Covid.
Not everything is a conspiracy just because you don’t believe the story. Trump did win the election though.
What? Are you saying truckloads of mail-in ballots with invalid signatures delivered after the Polls close is not OK? But…. but…. but, CNN said.
What a sad brainwashed world this has become. USA RIP 1776-2021.
Condolences to the family of the deceased..may his soul rest in peace.
My fellow Grenadains so now you know that COVID-19 is lethal..are you going to listen to the experts…wash your hands, social distance ie stop loitering and wear your face mask.
The press release still not on and the time on the video says 9 pm. Has it changed from 5
RIP
Praying God that this is the first and last one…
God is certainly the right geezer to complain to about Covid as he sent it in the first place. WAC.
