COVID 19: NO Retreat, No Surrender

The fight against COVID 19 by countries across the globe is real. Barbados given its heavy dependence on tourism (services) is exposed more than some other countries. We are here now and we have to do all that we can to survive. The blogmaster predicted months ago the conversations will shift to finding ways to enforce mandatory vaccinations. It is a conversation currently taking place across the globe, including Barbados.

 

This week’s charts suggest that we might be at the start of a new wave that could last for months as was the case of the earlier 2021 waves in Jamaica, Guyana, T&T and St Lucia and with the added complication of the presence of the very virulent delta variant in the region. The signs that suggest otherwise are that the daily positivity charts are all at less than 5% over the past 3 weeks and that the Covid-19 teams are continuing their good work and that, despite the very high odds against, the aggressive work by the Authorities have so far resulted in fairly significant levels of vaccination take up. The ride will still be a rough one but everyone needs to do their part to conquer this insidious foe

    UNHELPFUL JOHN ASKS Can anyone explain why the number of deaths rose only after we started vaccinations.
    IS THIS NOT A REASONABLE QUESTION TO ASK BY A SCIENTIFIC INQUIRER?
    IS THIS NOT MORE LIKELY TO SHED SOME LIGHT ON THE MATTER AS PART OF THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD.
    IS THIS NOT MORE RELEVANT THAN EXPLORING WHY I BECAME A DOCTOR?

    Another question!!

    Can the vaccination be causing the mutations in the virus?

    In other words, it is only after you go and interfere with the virus that it mutates!!

    Let sleeping dogs lie, especially if you don’t know how big they are!!

    If it is that vaccinations cause mutations then those vaccinated become mutant factories.

    Delta: Have COVID vaccines caused mutations?

    If it is that the vaccinated become mutant factories then it follows the larger the number vaccinated the more we will be in need of vaccines to deal with the various mutations … somebody is going to make a killing.

    If you believe google you can ask it “does vaccination cause a virus to mutate”?

    My life skills tell me yes because if you successfully attack an enemy he/she is not going to roll over and die.

    He/she will “reel” and come again and cling to life.

    If you go interfering with a bee hive it quickly morphs/mutates into a whole set of angry bees and you do not have a chance …. unless you know what you are doing.

    Watched my father deal with them and more recently had a big one removed so got to watch a master at work.

    The moral is, don’t trouble trouble.

    “We differ because he used the word “only’. That is what made his language exact/precise”

    he probably didn’t realize he had…..

    but it’s best to look at this virus and emerging variants from the view of the annual flu and it’s many annual mutations….to get a grasp on what is unfolding…let’s hope there are no more unpleasant surprises…we will just have to adapt and get vaccinated along the way as they improve with less adverse reactions…..maybe by next year or 2023..

    AND, not bragging, usually! Just telling stories to illustrate my point.

    But to the stupid question – the virus started mutating BEFORE the vaccines became available.

    Viruses mutate! That’s what they do!

    The first variants detected were in England, Brazil and South Africa and now India. Vaccination is not widespread in Brazil, South Africa and India.

    The deaths are rising because new variants are running rampant due to relaxed protocols. Infections are rising and so deaths are rising.

    Man, vaccines have worked for years against viruses! What do you mean, “Don’t interfere with the virus!”

    Enough of you two! ENOUGH!

    Did the Delta variant appear simultaneously in various countries?

    If so, how was that possible given all the travel restrictions?

    … that’s two more questions.

    And the variants are also more infectious but they are not more deadly.

    The Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 has now been detected in more than 100 countries and in the coming months, it is expected to become the dominant strain globally, spreading quickly in countries with both low and high vaccination coverage, according to the head of the World Health Organization (WHO).

    How did it get into more than 100 countries?

    From where did it spread?

    Are the 100 or more countries mutant factories?

    Another three questions.

    I’m sure the geniuses on BU have answers.

    I cannot let this slide. The body has an immune system. This immune system “interferes with” any viruses that invade the body. And so viruses are ALWAYS under attack under normal circumstances. If the immune system does not attack or is too weak, the virus has its way. This virus killed millions BEFORE the first vaccine was administered. This is why it was necessary to develop a vaccine.

    A vaccine when administered seeks to stimulate the immune system to “interfere with” the .virus if ever it invades the body. This gives the body a headstart in the fight. But vaccination or not, with a normal immune system, there is going to be a fight. That’s what produces a fever. The harder the fight, the higher the fever.

    So to suggest that vaccination does something that the body itself is not trying to do on its own is misleading.

    John knows this. He is a dangerous liar.

    And now….. presenting….The Mighty GP…..who will attempt to convince us that this is rocket science that cannot be understood by anyone who is not a Barbados scholar!

    Murdaaaaah!

    To make it more simple – an old time vaccination ensures that an army of antibody soldiers is assembled BEFORE the virus shows up. Not entirely au fait with how these new ones work because I understand most of them do not introduce deactivated virus to stimulate antibodies before the fact. But they do strengthen the army that would have assembled regardless and attempted to fight the virus.

    Something for me to check.

    There are waaay more people here who ware vaccinated that have covid than just ten!!! They’re bringing them here daily by the truck loads . I think as of yesterday the facility was at capacity!
    But they’re not telling you all this ! Just spreading bullshit and lies ! 😡😡

    A teenager rolled up to the Mexican border on a bike…

    He had a sack of sand in his hand.

    “What’s in the sack?” asked the border patrol officer

    “Just sand,” said the kid.

    The officer didn’t believe him, so he opened the sack up to find just sand. The officer dumped the sack empty and dug through it but he only saw sand. He even took a sample to a lab to have it tested, but all signs showed it was pure sand.

    Reluctantly, the officer let the kid go.

    The next day, the same kid rolled up on his bike to the Mexican border with another sack in his hand.

    Again, the officer asked what was in the bag. He searched through the bag and once again had the sack tested of its contents, but it was just sand.

    The officer had no choice but to let the kid leave again.

    This went on for years. The officer was sure that one day the kid would have something else in the sack, and eventually he drove himself to insanity. He was fired and became a heavy drinker.

    One day, he was at the bar when the teenager who had been crossing the border everyday with the sack of sand sat down next to him.

    The ex-border patrol officer looked at him and pleaded, “Look. All those times you were crossing the border, I know you were smuggling something! Please just tell me what it was and give me some peace at mind. I don’t even work as a cop anymore!”

    The kid said,

    “Bikes.”

    https://www.reuters.com/world/china/how-delta-variant-upends-assumptions-about-coronavirus-2021-07-26/

    Why the disparity among various countries??

    “Public Health England said on Friday that of a total of 3,692 people hospitalized in Britain with the Delta variant, 58.3% were unvaccinated and 22.8% were fully vaccinated.

    In Singapore, where Delta is the most common variant, government officials reported on Friday that three quarters of its coronavirus cases occurred among vaccinated individuals, though none were severely ill.

    Israeli health officials have said 60% of current hospitalized COVID-19 cases are in vaccinated people. Most of them are age 60 or older and often have underlying health problems.

    In the United States, which has experienced more COVID-19 cases and deaths than any other country, the Delta variant represents about 83% of new infections. So far, unvaccinated people represent nearly 97% of severe cases.

    Dr. Monica Gandhi, an infectious diseases doctor at the University of California, San Francisco, said many vaccinated people are “so disappointed” that they are not 100% protected from mild infections. But the fact that nearly all Americans hospitalized with COVID-19 right now are unvaccinated “is pretty astounding effectiveness,” she said.”

    Bloody idiot! My best friend’s daughter travelled to the US before the results of her covid test were received. She received them on the plane. I could not believe it when I heard.

    But as we know, the tests are not 100 % accurate. Nothing is. The quarantine period is not foolproof either. A few positive cases will be missed and a few people will be released from a short quarantine and then become contagious.

    Thing is, she was not even required to quarantine in the U.S.

    As for there not having to be widespread vaccination for variants to occur, that is true but the fact that variants developed in Brazil, India and South Africa is too much of a coincidence. Or too many coincidences.

    Like all those Trumpsters having all that contact with Russia and lying about it – COLLUSION NOT COINCIDENCE.

    But I have already blown your main argument out of the water. There is not even a straw for you to clutch at. Otherwise The Mighty GP would have retorted with “piccong” not resorted to prayer!

    Spent all of yesterday playing my favourite music videos, singing and dancing.

    Doobie brothers were kicking!

    Read some biographies and found out they were all high as kites when they were writing and performing my favourite songs.

    I have come to the conclusion that musicians take drugs so I don’t have to. They take the drugs to make the music. I “listen to the music” and get high.

    Not miserable at all!

    And since I too love to skin my teet, I here watching Trump videos and doing just that. No contrived comedy can beat a Trump video. The Greatest and Most Unbelievable Show on Earth!

    I am watching the episode where he speaks about manning the airports during the civil war.

    Now tell me, why would the Government still be pushing vaccines when the evidence is clear that they do not work? Why would they be spending money that we don’t have when there are no kickbacks to be had?

    Houston Methodist, which has said it was the nation’s first health system to impose a coronavirus vaccination mandate when the policy was announced in March, faced protests from some staffers — including more than 150 who refused to get vaccinated and left the organization. But 97 percent of Houston Methodist workers complied, with about 2 percent obtaining exemptions or deferrals. A federal judge also dismissed a lawsuit filed by former staff members, ruling that Houston Methodist was “trying to do their business of saving lives without giving [patients] the covid-19 virus.” “…the University of Pennsylvania Health System, which imposed its own coronavirus vaccination mandate two months ago, also has seen a similar uptake in shots.”

    i think you are confused….we are in an EXPERIMENTAL PHASE…the vaccine HAS NOT BEEN PERFECTED….it will work for some AND NOT OTHERS…..

    i have relatives who took it and ARE FINE..others are not so lucky

    because you have not shown adverse reactions…DOES NOT MEAN others HAVE NOT DIED…or become ill, or crippled etc.

    something like BECAUSE you do not live in poverty…DOES NOT MEAN that MOST PEOPLE ON THE ISLAND DON’T…and whole families are HUNGRY EVERY DAY,…

    personally, i cannot touch it UNTIL…i never said no one should take it, i said THEY SHOULD NOT BE FORCED, it’s a personal choice..

    think of what others are experiencing for a change and not only about yourself…i clearly posted MY OPINIONS on what is happening, along with scientific proof about what is possible…….without living in lala land..

    i keep telling yall, if you don’t like what i post…DON’T READ IT…i scroll past most of the bullshit from everyone, unless i see my moniker, and even then, i tend to scroll right past when am busy…
