If somebody is not preaching to take. Vaccine their post will not be on your site pure arrogance , wicked people that cause this judgements
Judgement is near.
Who the cap fit wear it
Human has sat by and turned a blind eye to evil but we can’t recreate the universe .
He!!! will judge the living and the dead
It’s coming . Humans are getting eviler
Take ginger, lemon and garlic
What’s in the vaccine?
I don’t need your site bro there are plenty more fishes in the sea .
When I was little I boiled and drank bitter coriler and zebapic as a child it grew all around me this is why
This things can’t touch me God immunised me with these plants .
So put that in your pipe and smoke it
May God bless you
Goodbye
There is NO religious reason good enough to tell you not to protect yourself and your family from a virus that can kill you . If there is such a religion them time to change from that religion !
Where’s Kesri?
Why is the dashboard only showing PCR test conducted when the majority of the latest comfirm positive cases since outbreak was done with rapid antigen tests? Plus the recovery rate is rather slow ,due to persons is being sent home and not followed up on ,so the number should be higher. What was the death rate in grenada before covid compared to now? Why is people being vaccinated without testing first ? Why are we not recognizing natural immunity?
The test figures say RT-PCR so I assume that means Rapid Test & PCR Test.
“Natural immunity” a good concept but does not apply here – the variants ie delta and other need the vaccine to protect you – stop confusing with all this other stuff NOT relevant . Science is based on facts not on opinions – political or religious
Roll up and move on !
if you aint gettin the vaccine be prepared for the virus to invade your body and the potential for bad outcomes – with the vaccine you will not get very sick or die… think about that .. living and not getting very sick = the only way to go .. Grenada currently the HIGHEST per-capita cases of covid in the world !!
Could this be a miracle? All those yam and bush tea the antivaxxers drinking? Will Grenada be a case-study for the world to follow?
Unlikely. In fact, this is probably just leftovers from Saturday that didn’t make it to the count.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again!
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.
That’s basically what Sandals did last year and we ended up with that mini-outbreak in December.
Unfortunately, quarantine really means no mingling with anyone, even other people in quarantine
Get Vaccinated or GET Infected.
Interesting ideas for controlling the spread, but do think about how possible that will be in reality. Most people living outside of Grenada have a limited number of vacation days, and most don’t use it all at once and will spread it out during the year. A 7-14 day quarantine will likely take most if not all the vacation time a tourist allocates for Grenada. Tourists aren’t going to want to be mostly quarantined and isolated for vacation, not even at Sandals. Quarantine means you stay in your room so as not to spread the virus to workers and other people in quarantine. If quarantined people congregate at dining facilities and beaches and there are covid positives among them, the virus has the opportunity to keep alive by jumping from person to person. People may get infected on day 7, test negative and then carry it out into the Grenadian community. Or an infected local employee can bring it home. In a largely unvaccinated population, a virus as contagious as delta only needs one or two hosts to start a wildfire spread similar to is happening now. A 7-day quarantine will cripple the tourism industry nearly as much as closed borders. Even if a quarantine vacation attracts some tourists, they won’t be doing much for the local economy except perhaps for the people who work at the specific facility they are quarantined in and suppliers of that facility – but nothing for those who work in and supply local restaurants, shops, taxis, buses, land and water tour operators, etc.
It takes massive amounts of money to run all-inclusives. All-inclusive resorts have to make enough money from tourists to support and profit from their operations. If not many tourists come to Grenada due to a 7-14 day quarantine, there will come a point where it won’t make sense for hotels/resorts to continue operations. If you expect government to handle everything, Grenada isn’t monetarily the richest country in the Caribbean… where will they continually get resources to help create “all-inclusive” experiences for those in quarantine and make it attractive enough so that tourists go for it, for as long as covid exists, which might be lifetimes?
Even if a 14 day lockdown kills covid in Grenada, the next time the delta varant slips out into the community – be it via an infected tourist released from quarantine, or false negatives from an infected student or visiting national, or some other way – if most people remain unvaccinated you will be dealing with a fast and deadly spread similar to what’s happening now. This will happen until the virus finally goes through the vast majority of the population, killing and leaving those vulnerable with health issues. And that’s assuming that a worse variant doesn’t pop up somewhere.
So long as worldwide vaccine hesitancy continues and many countries remain far behind with vaccination, covid will be around for a long time. Social distancing, masks and good hygiene are all important in the fight against covid, but by far Grenada’s best chance of getting back to “normal” in a world where covid exists is to get as many people vaccinated as possible. This will minimize Grenadian deaths and covid’s health threat, even if delta still finds its way to Grenada. We don’t really worry about polio, smallpox, measles etc. any more because of vaccines. Let’s put covid-19 on that list.
I saw someone suggest opening up the country to vaccinated people only, which will serve as motivation for the unvaccinated. Sadly this is a realistic scenario if vaccination rates don’t improve much, leaving those vulnerable and unvaccinated at the mercy of delta. Ideally it would be better to wait until children are also eligible for the jab, so that some can be protected as well (small chance anti-vaxxers will vaccinate their children). Children under 12 should be eligible by the end of this year, granted the ongoing trials go well. Until then it’s up to adults to take precautions and get vaccinated to protect children.
I may be wrong but I have never seen figures published for a Sunday before, they have always been included with Monday’s figures. I will be taking the latest infection figures with a pinch of salt & wait for Monday’s figures for the real number.
I’m with you Anthony, there’s no change in the number of tests conducted to the previous day. The number hospitalised has dropped by the number who sadly died. Let’s see what today brings.
You comment with such pessimism and cynicism. Your outlook to always expect the worse. Comments without hope. It’s very sad. Even if they are not accurate results, why not live in the moment and accept the lower numbers for exactly what it is. Very very very sad and bitter man.
Not really, just honest. Latest numbers from Office of National Statistics in UK, out of 51,000 who died of Covid 19 between January & July 2021 only 256 were double vaccinated. That figure gives truth to the fact that vaccines work & hope that with mass vaccination Covid will be conquered.
We cannot just get false hope from one set of numbers.
