Jason,
No one cares.
This is very similar to when the murder rate escalated in T&T.
Remember?
Eventually it became the norm and no one cares.
Covid deaths are being treated just as the murder rate….just another day in “paradise”.
Imagine the amount of Trinis that want to hear more cases and deaths so they can make a scene and post on social media.
People are dying Jason Moe.

Volunteer to do what?
You already complain so much here, you would do the same on the job or when “volunteering”.
And a 3? Na man you hadda study your work a little more and bring home the distinctions.
We need dedicated people bro.

1. Much more infectious than Delta, by at least 30%
2. The early reports of it being mild might have been premature. It does seem to be just as bad as the previous strains. The 'mildness' reports were due to (1) 80% of South African's having some level of antibodies (due to previous infection and vaccination) and (2) younger persons being the ones infected first.
3. There are two worrying things now (1) It definitely is beating vaccines, but on the bright side vaccinated people are getting it mostly mild (2) It's definitely beating natural immunity and from all reports, it is affecting them far worse than previous strains (hospitalizations are up 2.4X in that group).
All in all get vaccinated and get your booster!

Severity is far worse. At least when you dead the pain ends. When a virus is severe and cripples you...you will wish you were dead

The ppl who you called here were in retirement age or close to such...most of the death certificates I see in work from persons who die from covid are elderly, when you reach a certain age in life the body cannot fight off infections as it could have when you were younger, covid is something new for their bodies to fight and that's why most elderly are easy to succumb to such and if not succumb end up with long term side effects. The elderly are the ones who need to take their vaccines and every boosters to live in addition to the hundreds of medications they take for other ailmentsDohplaydat wrote:matr1x wrote:Everyone focusing on death from covid.

I personally have seen 3 instances of covid damage:
The first was my dad's coworker, fit heathy guy aged 62, got covid badly, was in Caura, got discharged and 2 weeks later had a severe stroke and later died. I should add he was a very very fit guy, used to run 5kms a couple times a week.
My friends mother, only 58, a bit overweight but no major prior health problems. She got covid pretty bad, but recovered. A month later, she passed out at home. They took her to Medical Associates, checked her bloods realized she had severe diabetes and her kidneys were failing. They tried their best with her but she died a week later.
My aunt, 63 years of age, a cancer survivor, but otherwise good health. She got covid, it was quite bad, she was on ICU and probably one of the few people to survive and recover after ICU. However, since then (April 2020) she has basically been bedridden, saying how she's too tired to do anything. I saw her divali night and she looks like she aged 10 years since covid. I believe it's lung damage she experienced.
So long story short, while the death rate might be around 2%, permanent damage from covid happens to at least 10-15% of persons.
That alone should be scaring people and ensuring many of you get vaccinated. However, somehow the 1 in 100k side severe effect seems like a worse outcome than 1 in 10 lifelong side effects from covid.
In that 1/3 are the young with co morbidities and a very miniscule number of healthy young onespugboy wrote:yes the elderly
plus the other 1/3 who young and dying still
So those were not fully vaxxed?Dohplaydat wrote:matr1x wrote:Everyone focusing on death from covid. While that is bad, it's not the most dangerous thing.
