Grenada is a study ground to see how the virus acts amongst a population of more skeptics than believers . Unfortunately the virus is going to devastate and create a killing field . Feel sorry that the people of Grenada have rejected science and chosen confused wrong religious reasons to create this dangerous situation . Having SGU in Granda and having helped to make so many doctors and yet to reject medieval
Science ! Shame in Grenada
Caricom from Jamaica to guyana is infested with covid. The problem is we have too many scientists and doctors trained at the Google University.
Add to that facebook university and school of youtube. Grenada in real trouble.
Look grenadians this virus is real get it into your heads take the vaccine save lives you do not want to be like India or the rest of the world so take the vaccine and save yourselves is nothing to do with tourism it’s because some of your locals who came back to your country and brought it in and then he went around seeing friends and family and then people went and done carnival they are the ones to blame the government or tourism so just take the vaccine and save your lives safety country and stop doing the blaming game ok every country around the world has got the vaccine is having the vaccine every country around the world who’s got the virus so just take the vaccine and save lives please god bless you all
To reach “herd immunity”? The very idea of reaching herd immunity is now out the window. Why? Because both vaccinated and unvaccinated persons can get the virus. So the consensus is that herd immunity is NOT going to be achieved. Instead, we are heading for “endemic equilibrium”. Essentially the virus will remain in our societies for years to come – albeit at a lower level of contagion than it is at now.

There are two very positive pieces of news here. Unfortunately, they are not being articulated by the Ministry of Health/Government:
1. The positivity rate has declined from 65% to 48% – that is active cases as a percentage of total cases.
2. Given that the positivity rate is declining then the number of people who are recovering from COVID 19 is increasing (relative to total cases). This means that natural immunity is also “spreading” and that’s a great thing in our fight against COVID 19 – especially since natural immunity is supposed to be more effective as a protection measure than the vaccines.
However, Government is so hung up on generating these numbers that they are perhaps not seeing the “silver lining” in the very statistics that they are producing.
There is no such thing as natural immunity for any corona virus…hence cold and flu are still rampant in the world. There’s no silver lining in Grenada going on.
Total cases include all the infected tourists that have came here & put into quarantine so your numbers mean nothing.
We know that recovering from Covid gives you a degree of protection from re infection but not as much as from vaccination. Why do you think the two biggest Covid deniers in the western world, Donald Trump & Boris Johnson after both recovered from Covid rapidly took the vaccine.
And how many of that natural immunity also now have long term illness from the virus. Hospitalisation and death count tell you more than case count. More and more people dying. If you don’t survive the virus you don’t get natural immunity. You dead.
What more can I say? Number of tests barely exceeds the number of new cases. This suggests the virus is more rampant in the population than we know.
Current daily vaccination rates mean that it will take 256 days or 36 weeks to reach herd immunity (80% fully vaccinated)in the over 12 years old population.
Until we get there cases will keep going up rapidly.
