Let’s hope it’s the end of Kesrie Johnson’s bile, move on and don’t come back. Your antivax rubbish is responsible for a lot of illness & deaths that could be prevented if people took the vaccine. There are many who got covid and regret not being vaccinated, BBC.co.uk/news/uk-england-gloucestershire-58481626 is a typical example. Stick your channels where the sun don’t shine.
Why is my post awaiting moderation, yet again? Can you please give a reason or somewhere I can contact to find out why?
Carriacou is a bit slack with interpreting the latest Covid regulations.
Make an appointment to see Doctor? I called into L’esterre Health Clinic this morning to enquire as to how to make an appointment to see the Doctor (his surgery there is on a Friday) the nurse on duty told me I would have to phone the Doctor who would book me an appointment! My Doctor (Davis) is very busy, he has Government clinic in Hillsborough on Monday morning, L’esterre clinic Friday morning, his own private clinic in town in the afternoon plus his duties in Carriacou hospital. Is he going to be walking around with different appointment books in his pockets? I don’t think so. His different clinics should be doing this. Grenada has not done this right.
Secondly my wife is a private care worker for an elderly lady, one of her days is Saturday. After hearing about the restrictions of movements announced for the weekends we visited the Police Station in Hillsborough last Wednesday to get a pass. They told us they had nothing in place yet, “come back next week”. We duly went back today & registered, asked for a written pass & told by police “we don’t have one, if you get stopped ask the policeman to phone in to ensure you are allowed to travel”. How much time is this going to waste? For FCUKS sake just give me a piece of paper to show I am covered.
Why is this a surprise. Once Students entered and boarders opened up. This was bound to happen.
Now as the situation is, the next step forward will be or may be seen in the future will be to show vaccination proof.
Those with no vaccination will have a difficult time accessing resources and venues. This i feel will be soon on the horizon.
Already seeing it with different companies especially airlines.
These figures at the moment is a bit disturbing as the number of people hospitalized and the number of people taken PCR test .
We know that visitors returning home to most foreign countries have to take a PCR test as part of their travel requirements so that industry is making a killing as the average cost is $300 as for the hospital I am not sure how many ventilators are available at the moment.
So the best option open to most citizens at the moment is to get vaccined with either one of the two vaccine available free of charge.
And please be reminded that it does not stops you from getting covid/flu
Let us all remember where this killer virus came from…
What is the point of remembering that the virus came from Wuhan, China? What will that achieve? It is interesting historically to know where all the viruses have come from that have plagued humans, since we became humans approximately 150,000 years ago, but it will not stop viruses from occurring, some dangerous, causing epidemics & pandemics, some not dangerous at all.
Positive news that more people have recovered & will now have some immunity. Negative news many more new cases than recovered, double the amount of people in hospital since yesterday, one more death, very slow increase in vaccinated numbers & a committee being set up to effectively decide who will live & who will die when the health service becomes overloaded with patients needing to be intubated, which will not be long in coming.
What will it take for Grenadians to get vaccinated. I live in Carriacou, my wife & myself have been vaccinated, I have ten closely related in laws on the island, only two have been vaccinated. My in laws in Trinidad have all been vaccinated.
My mistake, not double the total hospitalised, this time I looked at the wrong figures, total not actual.
I do not have the feeling that the government tries to scare me. I am scared because of the numbers and the low amount of hospital beds.
Please look at the figures from one month ago to today and you will see the big jump in most areas of concern.
The death rate has risen to 13 from one the uptake in vaccine has taken a huge jump also as we now have over 62k vaccinated with their first dose but the figure that will shock those of us looking are the imported cases which is only 8.
So being a skeptic I would say that the current system is working and most Grenadians are now so scared they will do whatever is asked of them.
Omg can you even read? I wish I could facepalm here.
One month ago we didnt have community spread now we do.
62K Vaccinated really lol that is the amount of PCR tests conducted.
No wonder people like you dont get vaccinated you dont even read shit correctly just see what you wanna see.
By insulting them, you will never get them to get vaccinated.
Sadly you are looking at the wrong figures. 62,806 is number tested, vaccine uptake is still abysmally low, 19,558 have had second dose & 27,718 have had first dose only.
Storm, you should take your time and check the numbers properly. The vaccination rate has not gone up significantly since a good while. Still under 20%. That is far from what we need to achieve herd immunity.
Grenada Covid Strategy is Wrong.
If Now Grenada who cant decide if its job is Journalism or Censorship allow, you are reading this and my comment have not been deleted and censored, as happen all too often to the readers loss.
On my very own small online Channel, I never ask for likes or subs….and yet quite organically the channel grew slowly from eight, ten, twenty, thirty for months….to settle at over three thousand subs. If I were to aggressively market the channel, it would grow faster.
But I am not interested.
I dont want that success of growing too fast and losing the very thing that made it a success.
Its like a nice dance club that few people know about that have a great crowd and great atmosphere…. then the word gets out and it’s flooded with all kinds of massive and crew.
Yeah, short term you make more money but the vibe and the atmosphere soon changes, from sweet to sour.
Soon enough, those in the wise pass the word around…..nobody goes there anymore, its too crowded.
My point is, I have more viewer engagement and far far more comments and deeper discussion on my tiny little Channel than an established Newspaper like Now Grenada.
Why is that?
Because I actually allow Free Speech and never censor anyone. I do remove the occasional links to Porn sites but that clean up, is all.
On my Channel, you can speak Freely. In case some think I am here trying to get new viewers and subscribers, I am not even going to mention the Channel name.
Well I have two Channels but I am not here to fish for subscriptions.
Just like the few good clubs, you have to find it on your own, and make it your own, before everyone else does.
Anyway back to Grenada and why the present Covid Strategy is a failure…. it really does come down to the Hubris of men who arrogantly think they can replace God and Nature with their fancy genetic drugs.
In April 2020, after the Mitchell Government placed the country under 24 hour curfew for days on end….one Sunday I picked up a woman walking in the hot Sun and offered her a lift.
She complained bitterly that there have been no buses running for days, so she had no option but to walk long distance, in the hot sun, in order to praise God.
She said when she got to the Church she found her Preist was a coward, who instead of obeying God and Worshipping on the Sabbath day, had followed the Government and locked down the Church.
But what I shall never forget is the words from this woman who must have been in her 70s and yet in body and mind was strong and clear and sharp.
She said….dem politicians and dem scientists think dey smart. But is just pride before de fall, pride before de fall.
Dey think dey have ah silver bullet but dey dont because God already give us ah silver bullet…..its called yuh Immune System.
Wow!
Now this was April 2020. I don’t even think face Masks were even a thing in Grenada then, let alone much talk about Vaccines. But there on a dusty road was this humble God fearing, old woman who had more wisdom than many I have met.
Politicians and Scientists do indeed think they are wiser than God or Nature and that they have a Silver Bullet with their drugs and Spike Protein injections.
Never mind there have never been a successful Vaccine developed for any Respiritory disease, simple because its a more a Nose and Throat and Lung infection and not directly in the blood stream like many Pathogens.
Many Epidemiologists warned about the Genetics of Spike Protein drugs and the dangers of ADE where it enhances dangerous mutations to become dominant and eventually evade the drug completely as we are seeing with Delta, Mu, etc.
And thats exactly where that hubris is at the moment. Millions have been injected with the Spike Proteins and have been made more at risk from mutations than those who never injected and developed Natural Immunity Antibodies. Hence endless Spike Protein boosters for years to come.
Anyway I think its time for me to move on from Now Grenada. I tried to contribute and share what little knowledge I have about one of the most life changing event in my lifetime. And to have good respectful discussions without malice or blame. I think I failed
But more often than not because of the censorship, a good opportunity was missed here. And it’s not like I have that much free time anyway because I have many comments on my Channels, all of which I reply to 24/7.
Anyway I know this is long winded but the short of it…the current Covid Strategy is flawed with these Spike Protein injections. Eventually when it all collapse as even more death pile up as it must, some people will begin to figure it out for themselves….there is no option than what God and Nature gave us, and they will be back to Natural Immunity.
Like that old woman said that Sunday …..
Dey think dey have ah silver bullet but dey dont because God already give us ah silver bullet…..its called yuh Immune System.
Amen.
You are insane. Who cares about your channel and the poor souls who are reading it. Do you think this is a platform to promote yourself.
It is your crazy Covid strategy that is wrong.
You mentioned a woman walking to church in the hot sun & was annoyed the priest was not there? I am an atheist but even I know you do not have to go to church to pray.
Do something useful with your writing. Stop spreading falsehoods & misinformation. Start feeling guilty that people like yourselves are helping the pandemic to spread, making people ill, some being hospitalised & some dying.
