Yes a bat is the person who started it blame a bat for the rise lol
Where’s Kesri?
Vaccinated (1st dose) 29,144
Vaccinated (2nd dose) 19,715 These low vaccinated numbers are the reason for Greanda to have the HIGHEST Covid rates per capita in the WORLD !!! Take the vaccines to the people if they cant make it out !! NOW
Over 160 policemen infected and in self-quarantine, affecting productive level of RGPF
Less than 50% of Force vaccinated
Local active cases moved from 5 on 17 August to 1,791 on 10 September 2021 this is shameful !!!
Vaccinated (1st dose) 29,144
Vaccinated (2nd dose) 19,715 These low vaccinated numbers are the reason for Greanda to have the HIGHEST Covid rates per capita in the WORLD !!! Take the vaccines to the people if they cant make it out !! NOW
Lots of mistaken numbers. On average 2.07% of those who have contacted COVID 19 globally have died. In Latin America and the Caribbean the number is 3.7%.so using the global average and assuming that 2,000 have caught the virus then 40 persons would have to die for Grenada to equate to the global average. So far 24 have died. So we are at 1.2% and still well within the global average of 2. 07%.
Also, I have repeatedly pointed out that the vaccine obsession is no longer the “absolute solution” that most people consider it to be:
Both the Delta and the WU variants are overcoming vaccine protection (in Israel 60% of the hospitalized are fully vaccinated. In the UK its 54% according the British Medical Journal). Therefore we need another more realistic strategy to address the virus challenge now.
You are lying Anansi, 95% of people in hospital with the virus are UNVACCINATED. Stop spreading anti vax misinformation. People like you are part of the cause for the pandemic. You encourage gullible, ignorant people to not get vaccinated.
You do realize that reports of “unvaccinated” include those who have been given a single dose and or both jabs, but have not surpassed the 2 week waiting period to be considered “fully vaccinated”. This has been a scourge here in New York and the US as a whole. Not sure if our (US) evil institutions have cursed your beautiful island nation with the same bullshit.
Numbers are skewed and propaganda is…… unspeakably, arrogantly manipulating many people on this planet——- altruistically doing what they are told in the interests of protecting themselves and their loved ones. Truth is: majority of delta hospitalizations (at least here in the US – cannot speak for Grenada) are vaccine induced side effects. You may scoff now, but eventually, the truth will come out. May take decades for the masses to see and know, but it will come out.
Where’s the evidence of this?
“majority of delta hospitalizations (at least here in the US – cannot speak for Grenada) are vaccine induced side effects”
Are you a troll?
Numbers and stats, we really have to be careful with their interpretation. Israel is in a mess 2 jabs doesn’t count as being vaccinated under their green pass system, and with 2 jabs the serious illness rate is as bad as the unvaccinated. However with the 3rd booster there are significantly less deaths than the unvaccinated.
If this was all there was to it I would get vaccinated tomorrow, and push for 3 jabs. But they’re is a vast under reporting of deaths and reactions to the vaccines, and the aged, the ones who need it most are the least protected by the vaccine. Add to that that there is a strong possibility that there will be hosts of autoimmune reactions to the vaccines in the next 2 – 5 years, I am going to find and have found better prophylactic treatments.
At this rate it’ll take 6 months to get enough people vaccinated and the hospital is already at capacity. We need far more vaccinations a day so please do the right thing for everyone and get vaccinated. It should be particularly encouraged for front line workers, no question.
Frank check your five month again. Right now we have an average of 26 people a day getting fully vaccinated. So for 26.000 we already need 1000 days. That is about 3 years and we still would be nowhere near herd immunity. In order for us to catch the last train out of this mess, we have to have a landslide movement in vaccinations. Sorry, I don’t see that coming.
14 day lockdown, will stop community spread
7-14 day quarantine for ALL incoming passengers with stop entry of the virus
Make all-inclusive hospitality changes to quarantine facilities making them attractive to holidaymakers. So it feels like an all-inclusive holiday rather than a quarantine for that week or two. Some hotels already have private beaches (they can be quarantine beaches all part of the all inclusive offer).
Put money into making quarantine facilities more like an all-inclusive resort and tourist will still come.
Returning nationals (if the budget doesn’t suit) can stay in a much lower rate alternative specifically for quarantine.
This was pretty much the case for over a year hence how we managed to keep the virus manageable.
Noone should feel forced to vaccinate with the misinformation that it is the only option. What we put in our bodies is a choice, just like smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol and flu jab.
Just to remind people.
1st September 449 active cases, 11th 1925, increase 329%
1st September 6 hospitalised, 11th 54, increase 800%
1st September 3 deaths, 11th 24, increase 700%
1st September 60,342 tests, 11th 64,079, increase only 6%
1st September 25,760 1st vaccinations, 11th 29,144, increase only 13%
1st September 19,315 2nd vaccinations, 11th 19,715, increase only 2%.
You can see where these figures are going, cases, hospitalisations & deaths are skyrocketing. Vaccinations & testing is only going up at a snail’s pace.
If things don’t change there will be 4,000 plus cases by the end of September.
Good posts Mr Slaine. But the banning of social gatherings, wearing masks etc. are essential too to slow the spread and give the vaccine a chance to take effect in those who are only now getting it. Fortunately, a good deal of protection is achieved within a week or two of even the first vaccine shot even if full protection is some weeks after that and after the second shot. And more compulsory vaccination for our police, health and other front-line workers is long overdue. This is a public health emergency and people can’t choose to opt out of it no more than they can choose to drive on the wrong side of the road. By not vaccinating you are endangering your own and other peoples’ lives. So get it now and be part of the team effort to control this awful virus – not part of the opposition!
Coming up to 5.5 billion doses of Covid vaccines have been given worldwide. They are safe and effective and are saving lives, containing hospital overloads, reducing the awful long term effects of this virus in many people who recover and reducing opportunities for genetic variation creating new variants every time the virus reproduces. Covid-21 or Covid-22 could be much worse than Covid-19.
What surprises me, but shouldn’t, is the number of people surprised at these figures. I am only surprised, because of the vaccine hesitancy in Grenada, that we did not reach this point much earlier. We had been lucky, until the Jab Jabs, that is. After that it was obvious where these figures will be going, up, up, up.
There are far fewer anti vax posts now, still too many, still people thinking it’s a hoax & still way too many saying “do nothing the Good Lord will save us”. These people all believe in fairy tales. The only thing that will ultimately save us is taking the vaccine. The other things, space, sanitise, masks & ventilation will only slow down, not stop, the spread. Please get vaccinated.
That is not entirely true. Yes vaccinations must reach as high a number as possible and is the most active step fighting the virus but social distancing is not just slowing down the virus. If rigorously practiced it is the only tool to root the virus out. Without contact even a virus can’t travel. We should use all weapons we have available to stop Corona. Vaccination eases the consequences, social distancing can stop the spread.
Yes the increase was most likely because of jab jab but it was someone who brought it in and took part in jab, because before that cases was like zero. The vaccine helps you from going to hospital and most likely dying. Vaccine or no vaccine we need to follow mask wearing, distancing and sanitizing to slow and eventually stop the spread.
P!ease try and safe.
Did they ever find who started this? Whoever it was has to be dealt with.
Didn’t you know? It was a person in Wuhan, China who got infected by a bat. Don’t know their name.

Compare the vaccination rate to the per capita cases and deaths over the last week…Grenada is currently worst in the world.
This table contains any data you need to make an informed decision on getting the vaccine. Moreover, the CDC reported today that the unvaccinated at 11 times more likely to die from COVID-19 than the vaccinated.
In you haven’t gotten vaccinated, wherever you hesitancy comes from in terms of taking the vaccine, there is no data to suggest that it is not the best thing you can do for yourself, your family, and your nation.
