COVID-19 in Trinidad & Tobago (Local Updates & Discussions Only)

[Gladiator]

Vaccines are here and available. I feel no sympathy for an unvaccinated adult

Its time to deny them free healthcare...

[elec2020]

^ once they returning the taxes paid for those services then no problem.

[pete]

It's not really about denying healthcare to unvaccinated people.

Now that it's becoming known that the vaccines only reduce the effects of the virus we could end up in situations where the parallel health care systems get filled to capacity and it may mean they have to resort to prioritising care to people with the greatest chance of survival which, could be the vaccinated.

Hopefully it never gets to that stage and everyone should do what they can to ensure they don't get it, if they do it's from limited exposure by wearing masks whenever around people outside their household and by getting vaccinated as soon as possible.

[redmanjp]

^ this. so while the unvaxxed are not intentionally being discriminated against, the outcome may end up looking the same. so if you are unvaxxed and >60 and ICUs full, you return home to 'die peacefully'.

I fully agree with you. If you deactivate your airbag and cut out your seatbelts because "airbags and seatbelts might kill or injury you and they don't always work to save you in an accident" and you get in an accident and you are hurt or killed, you took your chances.

Discrimination and scorn among the unvaccinated is growing.

The hon Kamla leading the way and setting the right example. She didn't rush and gt because she is the opposition leader. She waited until all the vulnerable had an opportunity to get the vaccine and now that the Pfizer has arrived, she now takes the vaccine. This is what a leader does.

so if covid here to stay and will be around for now on you telling me that every time i get the flu i will have to take a pcr test of covid test and get 14-21 days home no matter if i get the normal flu, dengue, chick v, chicken pox or malju ?

when enough ppl get immune either through vaccination or natural infection AND hospitalizations fall dramatically and stay so for months despite relaxation of all covid restrictions then perhaps not. that might be a couple years from now.

if u are a daily paid worker or with no paid sick leave best u go private and get results in 2 days rather than stay in quarantine for 21 days like a coworker of mine waiting for results. luck for him he has a monthly salary.

[pugboy]

probably, for a number of reasons, money making being one of them.

This is hoping that no new variants emerge

that's why getting vaccinated asap is critical worldwide. wherever covid is spreading unchecked increases the chance of variants.

Oh gosh man. I know I would've had to post this again

well, given that u can be immune to it and still spread it, then in this case yeah, its not all that. most u will get is heard immune to going to hospital

Lol so True ...

The statement that Unvaccinated people are a danger is only half the truth ...

The real statement is ... Unvaccinated and Vaccinated people are a danger.
Since they are both spreaders.

for arguments sake

if you take 100 vaxxed trinis and 100 unvaxxed trinis and let them loose in florida to be in a high covid environment
what would the outcomes of the two groups be ?

how many and how long would those in either group get covid for?
we know 2-3 of the unvaxxed will die for sure

Has a lot to do with age and the status of the person's immune system. Nothing will happen to healthy young people.
