Their treatment for Covid as dictated by Fauci is Remdesivir. This medication shuts down kidney function which brings on fluid to the lungs and heart thereby needing intubation (which, interestingly enough, each time a patient is intubated it is paid $53K). The safe way to see that this doesn’t happen is to treat the virus at the level of the mucosa in your nose and lungs. Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine are your safest bets in this area.
Medical personnel say the vaccine will not prevent you from catching Covid, it will only lessen the effects. So, get vaccinated, wear a mask and proper hygiene to prevent you from catching or spreading it when you catch it.
Is that sensible? Yet the cry is get vaccinated! ♂️
I think it’s about time that the govt invest in upgrading the hospital facilities and ensuring that the people have access to proper medical care.. Doctors and nurses need better pay if they want to attract good doctors and nurses to care for the sick. Grenada gets funding from China for various projects. Why not make the hospital one of the most important projects? The people of Grenada deserve proper health care. A friend went to a clinic for treatment to dog bites and they had nothing to treat her with. No gauze nor bandages nor iodine. They had to go and buy them from the drug store and take it to the clinic. What nonsense is that but the PM and his ministers can get on a plane and fly to the US for medical treatment if necessary.
Exactly, they have done nothing in 18 months to get the medical facilities prepared for the inevitable arrival of Covid on the island, it was never IF it was coming, just WHEN it was coming.
They want to blame the people for the outbreak, but do not take any responsibility for not being prepared for it’s inevitable arrival.
It’s not often that people talk sense but so far everyone has got it spot on.
GET VACCINATED and carry on, why take the risk
The problem here is these people, because this is not a g
Government this is a Dictatorship and all these people do is play politics with people’s lives because everything is done with an eye towards Election you said no Mas and they piss in your face and they play mas. And there were no penalty disobedience NO penalty because these people want to win Election again ..so when we let out kids get away with everything we end up visiting them in the prison or the cemetery. . So here we are they speak and no one LISTENS anymore so so so. Sad. Grenada
this simply will not work… and even if it did, as soon as the measures are relaxed it will happen all over again within a short space of time.
lockdowns, quarantine & testing will not solve this problem. you can not permanently hide from covid19 – it’s everywhere and we need to get used to living with it.
better to invest in improving the hospital facilities for those that end up there, install more ventilators, etc.
everyone needs to vaccinate (Especially the elderly & those with medical issues, and anyone else that doesn’t want to get very sick/die) or NOT as they see fit. it’s their choice – everyone on the planet knows all they need to know about this by now and the government has provided us with a choice of 2 vaccines for free.
Those that choose not to vaccinate will achieve immunity if/when they get well after catching covid19.
So let life carry on as normal.
Most people that get covid19 do not die.
but many more WILL suffer from the economic hardships of these lockdowns and curfews. we all have only a limited time on this earth and time lost in lockdowns suffering from lost income can never be recovered.
Absolutely superb
Yes well, do you know that the idiots are only vaccinatingbONE DAY A WEEK! Look on Facebook, person took 85 year old mother to be vaccinated and they turned them away because they only working VACCINATIONS ONE DAY A WEEK! No wonder no one getting shots! Stand up and call out STEELE and MITCHELL for this garbage
of VACCINATIONS ONLY ONCE A WEEK.
Thank you.
Apart from the virtual death sentence Ventilators, I agree.
We are surrounded by millions of viruses and bacteria all the time.
We cant live in a glass jar or prison without bars for ever, hiding from an endemic infection.
We need to get on with living our lives before we all must die.
I don’t understand why you call a ventilator a death sentence. If you need a ventilator it’s because your breathing is so bad and you’ll die if you can’t breath. Ventilators are to help you breath when you can’t do it alone. What’s your point?
Rather late to reply, but Ventilators are a last resort in normal cases of pneumonia and similar illnesses for a temporary respite for someone struggling to get enough air into their lungs. However there is a 9 out 0f 10 mortality rate when it is used for covid, as the ever increasing air pressure rate required as the condition worsens destroys the lungs and turns them into a solid none functioning mess. This is why the American standard of late treating patients will one day I expect be judged as criminal.
