What is going wrong with this site? Two of my posts today have come up with error message “this has been posted twice”. Very annoying.
Why are my posts NOT being shown when I post them. So why is this happening over and over again?!?!
The virus has found a welcome home in Grenada thanks to the lack of vaccinated people. Now it will prosper and spread as a virus does finding new hosts to infect every day. Hospitals will be pushed past capacity, health care workers unable to do anything but sit with the dying. This is reality come to Grenada, you understand why now.
In sorrow remember where this virus came from…
Why does it matter where the virus came from. Do we get less hospitalized people or less dead by blaming China? It is sad so see that people still feeding on some conspiracy theories when we should focus on facts and get vaccinated.
Thomas, I not ever say “China”. I say “In sorrow remember where this virus came from…” You be the one who say China, not I. My thought is the virus come to Grenada from many locations, as it was not there until come from outside Grenada shores. Examine who come from where country into Maurice Bishop Airport. The boat runners between Carriacou and Grenada who come and go as please many times. And remember those same boats visit Union Island.
I do agree, get the vaccine, that is wise.
We are NOT going to “avoid the disease” by vaccination. This is a very naive to adopt. The virus is infecting both the unvaccinated and the vaccinated now. Please take your out of the clouds…
Dear Anansi.
Look at statistics… yes, vaccinated and the unvaccinated people can become infected with the virus but contrast the death rate of those two groups and data shows the vast majority of deaths are the unvaccinated. Your clouds analogy seems to be missing verbiage, your ocular cavity must be experiencing a malfunction.
90% of people who get Covid are unvaccinated, only 10% are vaccinated & if the 10% get it the symptoms are usually much less than those that get it who are unvaccinated. Which bit of this do you find difficult to understand?
Bla, bla bla
22 have died. Sadly there will be more. One reason is the phased level of protection for vaccines to take effect (on average, two weeks). Assuming an optimistic trend, if 2,000 get vaccinated each week then there will still be 4,000 at risk continously – that is, who have been vaccinated PLUS those who have not been.
Our challenge is further complicated by the “stay at home” lockdown policy for weekends which can increase spread in households – who then release the virus when we open up again. Not good news whichever way you look at it.
Hospitalised cases now exceed capacity by one, will soon be more. Will Grenadians get vaccinated in big numbers when patients have to be left in corridors & car parks?
I said last week that there would be 2,000 active cases by the end of the week, nearly there with 2 days to go.
After the initial increase in vaccination when we got the Pfizer vaccine the new numbers being vaccinated has slowed to a trickle. What is it going to take to make people realise that vaccination is the only way to avoid this disease?
These numbers are reflecting typical stats, 1% of infected people are dying because the majority are not vaccinated and it’s early days in this outbreak. Please make use of the (albeit too late) vaccination drive and protect yourselves and your loved ones.
Once again the stats is frightening if you compare what was published last month to what it is now.
And it is expected because last month very little was done in terms of testing the locals.
Now the table been turn as the correct method of gathering data been applied.
With those figures now public the locals are petrified and will rush and get vaccinated which is what the government wanted and we will see the changes in a few months.
We had full lockdown with supposedly no cases last year and now we have a very serious situation and only a weekend lockdown. How bad does it have to get?
As shown in Britain & the USA it will get much worse before it gets better. It will only get better when a big majority (80% plus) get vaccinated. USA has 100 million unvaccinated & are still recording massive daily infections & deaths, 90% of those getting the virus are unvaccinated. Slightly different in the UK, the majority of unvaccinated are young so death rates & hospitalisations, although high, are much less than in the first two waves.
Lockdown was the only option last year. What will a lockdown achieve now? We will have to reopen and the virus will still be here. Covid will not disappear it has to be managed. Vaccination is the only way to curb this. The UK are almost back to normal because around 80% are vaccinated.
People need to wake up and realize that there is no plan for things to “go back to normal”. In Israel they are already rolling out booster shots and the world is likely to follow (https://www.voanews.com/covid-19-pandemic/israel-offers-covid-booster-shots-everyone-over-12). Seeing that immunity diminishes after several months.
This pandemic has been grossly mismanaged by medical professionals and government to this day. Their approach has been to test, quarantine, vaccinate. If you get sick, wait until things get worse then go to the hospital at which point your chance of dying is then 35%. Terrible idea, they should have been offering early treatment options and educating patients and doctors on early treatment protocols which slash hospitalization and deaths by 85% even without a vaccine (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAHi3lX3oGM). This would eliminate the excuse for a lockdown because 85% less people need hospitalizations and 85% less people are dying. Vaccines ccould be OFFERED to high risk groups first then to others later with testing of the symptomatic only if the Antigen Test is being used (https://elcolectivodeuno.wordpress.com/2021/07/03/who-no-longer-recommends-widespread-covid-19-testing-of-asymptomatic-cases/). Efforts focused on quarantining the symptomatic and not the asymptomatic (https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/27/4/20-4576_article). This makes me wonder if they actually want things to have a bad outlook?
