[pugboy]

locally them companies surely made profits in the 10s millions already

testing is big money business

Covid is big money business overall. There was Forbes article on people who became billionaires because of Covid. There were a few Chinese guys manufacturing test kits that joined the billionaires club

Testing not cheap
I spend 1800 in one day to pay for rapid antigen Testing for me, wife and two young relatives who were staying with us since Tuesday .

To go health center or hospital and wait for a test is a task.
Going in those covid tents and suffering

Spent more than a hour and a half on the phone yesterday trying to get some info for someone on the covid hotline numbers with no answer.

If yuh start to deteriorate at home and hoping to gt with covid hotline, yuh will die

Yea bro I would be very cautious about being home with COVID-19 because if you deteriorate fast that will be a problem for doctors to bring you back.
If you know you have to go hospital don't hold back.
Prepare yourself and family from now.

How come children not dieing but only adults?

Went to a certain vaccine safe zone yesterday. They didn't even check vaccine cards , they just allowed everyone inside , no checking temperature , no sanitizing. They just said have your vaccine card incase of anything. Trini's are the worst when it comes to following the rules. All these types of establishments are well over the 50% capacity they should be adhering too. I think its probably the most dangerous time for covid especially with delta.

Cytokine storm.

I believe there is supposed to be hotline to report these things. I personally would not support a place with lax measures.

[st7]

yeah. would it be bad to mention the name of the establishment? save some of us the trip

[Chimera]

Them kinda places brave. Is a easy 25k fine for the business owner.

[MaxPower]

Patrons need to start filming irresponsible business owners and post it publicly.

Too many businesses only on money and don’t give a crap about the protocols.

Report them and make them pay.

[widdyphuck]

They numbers we seeing daily safe zones ain't making sense.
Hard to contain this current wave.

Isolate the Unvaxxed. 90% drop in new cases.

Cytokine storm.

a 40 yr old 10 times more like to die than a 20 year old?

a 75 yr old 220 times more likely?

them numbers right? based on our own MOH death graphs i think that's an exaggeration

The cDC numbers you are talking about ?You do realise all they do is use the demographics of the persons that died versus the ones that survived and got those numbers ?

In England, between 2 January and 24 September 2021, the age-adjusted risk of deaths involving coronavirus (COVID-19) was 32 times greater in unvaccinated people than in fully vaccinated individuals.

[redmanjp]

unvaxxed seem to also be dying from non covid related deaths in higher numbers- unvaxxed died from 1200+ non covid causes vs fully vaxxed (2nd dose >21 days) approx. 750 non covid related causes.

Can normal persons get the 3rd shot?

[Dave]

At this time I don't think so. Only for those with comorbidities and who took Sinopharm.
