But I mean legally, is there still the requirement to distance?
I doubt cause full capacity in taxi.

Begs Peter George's statement and it being very valid but at the same time irrespective of legal or not, I would still be maintaining the social distancing protocol.

Peter George wasn't the one who started the trend of forcing his employees to be vaccinated? Now he's calling for removal of safe zones, steups. Big slap in the face for his employees who forcefully took the jab and worse yet for those who lost their jobs cuz they didn't

and the thing is, the immune system will get the version of virus in the population at that point in time. the vaccines were developed for the strains last year.
Where do you get this information?
It is inaccurate
Out of the 38,811 cases reported in T&T 1077 have died
That is 2.775%, closer to 3%
2.775% of our population is 38,850 - that is no small figure
Even 1077 is unacceptable
We do not know the long-term effects of contracting the virus so hoping for immunity by catching the virus is not acceptable.
Vaccines are effective in preventing deaths with the strains also - the numbers show this

The World Health Organization (WHO) updated its vaccine guidance on Tuesday to recommend the administration of COVID-19 booster shots, marking a reversal from what the U.N. organization has previously said about additional vaccine doses.
In a statement, the WHO said the Technical Advisory Group on COVID-19 Vaccine Composition "strongly supports urgent and broad access to current COVID-19 vaccines for primary series and booster doses, particularly for groups at risk of developing severe disease."
The WHO has previously spoken out against administering COVID-19 booster shots, arguing that wealthier countries should abstain from administering additional doses while low- and middle-income countries have struggled to provide initial rounds of vaccinations for their populations.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus called for a moratorium on booster shots for healthy adults through the end of 2021.
"We do not want to see widespread use of boosters for healthy people who are fully vaccinated," Tedros said in September.

You realise that has to do with availability and not effectiveness?

would like them to do a study on the other vaccines - AZ, and J&J
‘The real thing’: Delta-Omicron hybrid identified for first time
Scientists say variant which combines mutations of two variants is ‘one to keep an eye on’
A newly-discovered Covid variant that combines mutations from both Omicron and Delta is “the real thing,” scientists have said.
Earlier in the year, concern was raised after a lab in Cyprus claimed to have found evidence of a Delta-Omicron recombination event - when the two variants co-infect a patient and exchange genetic material to produce a new viral offspring - but experts said the findings were false.
Now, however, virologists from L’Institut Pasteur in Paris have sequenced the genome of a genuine ‘Deltacron’ variant, which has been detected in several regions of France and appears to have been circulating since early January.
“This one is legit,” said Aris Katzourakis, a professor of evolution and genomics at the University of Oxford. “[It is] one to keep an eye on.”
Viral genomes with a similar profile to the Deltacron variant in France have also been discovered in Denmark and the Netherlands, but it has yet to be established if these recombinants derive from the same ancestor.
“The French cluster appears to be a validated occurrence where a recombination event has given rise to a virus fit enough to circulate,” said Dr Stephen Griffin, a virologist at the University of Leeds.
“Whilst it doesn’t seem to have taken off as a dominant strain yet, this could be due to a very slow start based upon seeding density (the number of initial cases).”
The “backbone” of the Deltacron variant is derived from Delta, but its spike protein, which allows the virus to gain entry to human cells, originates from Omicron.
“There are multiple scenarios that can play out here in terms of what this means for people that become infected as this combination of viral proteins may behave differently to either parent,” said Dr Griffin.
In deriving its spike from Omicron, the Deltacron variant could similarly target the upper respiratory pathway, rather than the lungs, Dr Griffin said. “At the same time, there are some parts of Omicron thought to lessen severity that are missing from the recombinant,” he said.
There is no clear data yet whether Deltacron is more infectious or deadly than its predecessors. Dr Griffin said the “fact it persists in the fact of Omicron” suggests its transmissibility “can’t be too shoddy”.
Last month, the UK Health Security Agency said it was investigating a variant named “Delta x Omicron Recombinant (UK)” - but it’s not known if this is linked to the French-based Deltacron.
Maria van Kerkhove, the Covid technical lead for the World Health Organisation, said her team were “tracking and discussing” the new variant.
Professor Lawrence Young, a virologist at Warwick University, said the emergence of Deltacron “serves to highlight the need to maintain genetic surveillance” in the UK and elsewhere.
“This looks like the real thing,” he said. “An authentic recombinant. Need to keep an eye on its behaviour in terms of transmissibility and ability to evade vaccine-induced immune protection.”
Dr Griffin echoed this sentiment: This is another clear demonstration that we remain in a dynamic situation with respect to Sars2, and that the maintenance of genetic surveillance and testing is both relevant and prudent.
“Prevalence is a major driver of virus evolution, making the current disregard or control of cases all the more unwise.”
