Man killed in mass shooting at GT bar
(CNS): Six people have been shot, one fatally, in a mass shooting at a George Town bar in the early hours of Friday morning. Police have released only a few details about the second horrifically violent incident in the capital in a week, but have said that the shooting happened inside Vic’s Bar at the end of Seymour Drive (aka Dump Road) in the industrial area at around 1:45am today. Five people were taken to hospital, one of whom is said to be in critical condition, while one man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police have given no further details about how many gunmen were involved and whether or not this is directly connected to the recent spate of gun violence that saw four people shot last week in Martin Lane, in the central area of George Town. One man was killed another seriously injured and two others sustained non-life threatening wounds in that shooting. A George Town man was arrested in connection with that killing earlier this week and is understood to still be in custody, though police have not yet responded to CNS questions about whether or not he has been charged.
The RCIPS has remained relatively quiet about the spate of gun violence over the last month, and while various people have been arrested, no charges have been brought in connection with what is assumed to be gang-related crimes that began with a shooting at the Jungle Bar.
In a short press release this morning, Deputy Commissioner Kurt Walton said that additional officers had been called to help with this latest investigation. “We are working as quickly as we can to gather all evidence from the scene,” he said. “We are asking for everyone’s support and cooperation during this process. The public’s safety is our priority and we won’t leave any stone unturned in our investigative efforts.”
Seymour Road has been partially closed to the public and traffic is being diverted through Commercial Avenue. People are being asked to avoid the closed area of Seymour Road until the crime scene investigation is finished.
A major incident room has been opened and anyone with any information is asked to call 649-2930.

I am Caymanian and una need to stop blaming foreignors for Cayman problems. You know how long this country has’nt had border security. You know how many locals use their captain skills to run cigar boats to Jamaica and Honduras? Enough that we don’t need foreign help for that. For those who seem to not understand what is going on let me explain. Customs and Border Control is working on permits and import duties while searching the sea port and airport for contraband and doing a great job at it cause most of the guns and drugs come on cigar go fast boats. The police are doing their job
Well but are not a border patrol. The regiment is not a border patrol and they are for like when hurricane cleanup is needed. The Coast Guard is not properly trained, understaffed,underfunded and not fit for purpose to keep 24/7 partols at sea. So 99% of cigar boats go to the mangroves undetected and bring handguns and a few assault rifles for people that want them. These guns come from honduras and Jamaica usually. Now when a couple shootings happen una saying what is happening in cayman. Their is practically no border security in this country. The police remove a couple guns every year to have more imported on the cigar boats than they remove. Until this country takes border security seriously things will get worst. Cayman has so many illegal guns you could have good border security and 20 years will pass and the guns in cirrculation will still be used in crimes.
I believe guns being brought into cayman is a by-product of the ganja trade. Ganja being so profitable in cayman makes these trips worth it. if they can add a gun and get some extra value why not. Until we make bringing ganja to cayman not worth it, they will keep on coming.
Keep adding to the list of cons
How about this theory?
Operation Quaker bottled up local vehicle supply lines
Overseas suppliers want their money for drugs supplied
Sales are down?
There ought to be a mandatory life sentence for this type of firearms crime, not the minimal type of sentencing that is now being handed out followed by a release on license after a few weeks so that they can get on with their criminal activities.
PACT – Transparency and Accountability are a joke in relation to the level of crime and what is done about it.
The government and the people are denied any meaningful statistics on the number of crimes, the percentage of those crimes that ever get prosecuted, the percentage of serious violent crimes that are ‘cleared up’ by calling them something that they are not on the charge sheet, the percentage of criminal prosecutions that are dropped by reason of negligence, or even the very small number of people who are actually convicted of anything.
The RCIPS knows who the players are. It’s time to start keeping a close watch on these thugs and raiding homes. The laws were changed for Covid lockdowns… have the laws changed to allow searches of thug homes and frisking them at random on the streets. Stay on them and send a clear message! Clean it up before it gets completely out of control!
They need to do this. The police in the states use this tactic with gang members they stay on them and monitor them. They can randomly stop and search and also check their tattoos to see what gang they belong to. Seen it done in California Im pretty sure other states with gang problems do the same.
A large part of the problem is that the criminals have looked at the criminal justice system from the police to the courts and decided that the entire system is of no concern to them.
The probability of a criminal being arrested is very low, the probability of a successful prosecution even lower and the probability of a meaningful sentence after conviction is lower still. Add to that the fact that the tiny percentage of people who get sent to prison are out after serving a tiny fraction of the notional sentence and you have a recipe for lawlessness such as we are now seeing on our streets.
The only way this will improve is if our legislators pass deterrent laws and those charged with enforcing our criminal justice system are made to demonstrate their effectiveness or are forced to resign – every one of them.
Colombian ex-military most likely.
Only one fatality out of six at point blank range? Doubt very much shooters are ex military. Their firearms training from watching TV.
And here we go blaming all our problems on Jamaica. It’s really pathetic at this point. While I’m not sure who was involved in this, the last shooting incident didn’t even involve Jamaicans.
How do you know it didn’t involve Jamaican’s?
Because it killed a Caymanian man who only hung out with other Caymanians. All the people in the bar that night were Caymanian friends of the victim. Unlikely there is a Jamaican/Caymanian turf war going on but please tell me if i’m wrong.
Once again our pathway from school to prison is rampant in our society.
In reality, crime pays criminals very well and very few criminals every get prosecuted for anything in Cayman. That is what encourages others to follow on that easy road to money and social recognition for youth at risk.
Done know ! but bmits the life thats easily available to those with NO other realistic options.
Most people from goody-two-shoe homes will NEVER understand this.
This has nothing to do with island fever. It has to do with Jamaican gangs. They want to turn Cayman into the Wild Wild West like Jamaica. Jamaican cops in Jamaica will shoot them on site, Cayman will arrest them, send them to Northward and give them 3 free meals, a warm bed, their ganga thrown over the fence so they have no fear in Cayman. Cayman you are 2 mins away from letting Jamaicans destroy your tourism product. PACT time to kick some ass and save your country.
So very true.
I only said last week about all these ghetto bars and how they need to close.
I rest my case.
Utterly out of control,
Close all the good for nothing bars. They serve no useful purpose in society. Government is too happy to collect fees from alcohol to consider doing the right thing.
Close them and then where will they all go?
Bacaro, or happy hour at Seven, obviously.
To ur house cuz it seems u need to have a venue for them so…
You understand very little hey?
Tillies
Oooh yes they do, work permits in these bars, ladies brought from certain countries, beds in back of bars, not just for the poorer man… See who visits and see attitudes of those who think they are in control and have power has already been proven! So the ‘gangstas’ continue…
Maybe it’s time to ban gun to everyone in Cayman.
Oh wait…
This is ridiculous. You can’t tell me that the cops do not know who these guys are, or where to find them. This is a tiny dot in the Caribbean with approx. 70,000 inhabitants. Everyone here is one degree of separation away from everyone else. Everybody knows everybody, or at least knows somebody who knows you. The Premier and the Police need to get off their backsides and end this stupidity NOW.
Now that this problem is big news, the foreigners are going to be fearful. Maybe now those responsible for the safety of these islands will finally do something to stop this foolishness.
Honduran Gangs!!!! simple
Canadian gangs!!! Simple. Er, English gangs!!! Simple
Serbo Croat or French gangs.
Unicorn Gangs!
I’m thinking the New Guinea gangs. Has to be..
Just as long as they are not Caymanian gangs. Or born Caymanian gangs. Or multi generational gangs.
We have no gangs in the Cayman Islands only “Groups of Youth” that are trouble-makers.
That was the official story in the late 1990’searly 2000’s to prevent tourists from worrying about their safety.
We go through these cycles ever few years, but this one seems especially violent.
Obviously you haven’t lived here long enough to know that we’ve gotten rid of scum like this before. Long term residents will remember when specially trained UK officers came short term, rounded up the gang members and charged them with whatever offense they could come up with, and deported them. They’re probably all overstayers, or are driving without insurance or whatever. Just get them and get them out of this country!
Somebody get Scotland Yard on the phone!!
Bring back Martin Bridger?
“Knowing” who they are and having proof is 2 different things. There has to be enough evidence to secure a conviction.
There also has to be a will to prosecute rather than 1000 excuses for not prosecuting.
Doesn’t have to be a conviction for a firearms offence to get them off the streets. Or at the least electronically tagged whilst on bail.
Nothing new, just hibernated for a while.
All of Cayman’s notoriously troubled hot spot public neighbourhood areas should already have quality CCTV coverage. We paid for these years ago. The RCIPS needs scrap to their habitual policy of unidirectional press releases and grow the stones to answer more direct questions from the public and media. Elsewhere, it is known as, “accountability”.
To be fair my vehicle was stolen literally 100 and 400 ft from the nearest TWO cctv towers over a year ago and to this day nothing has developed with that case.
We paid for quality CCTV but what we got was low resolution cameras that struggle to work in the dark. An “oversight” in the procurement process.
Come on lads, have a bit of a punch up, dust yourselves down and then have a make up beer together. Life is too short to be tossing about with weapons. This is cowardly behavior of the highest order. Gangs in Cayman, please, what are you domino hustlers?
I needed that bit of humor.
Humour
We not lads, we big men boys
Domino hustler!! That is awesome. Love it
Stop granting permits to our neighbour and when they commit a crime send them packing never to return here. Simple!!!
The are only two reasons permits are granted. One, a Caymanian is under qualified. Two, a Caymanian is too proud to do the job. For the most part, it’s the latter reason why jobs are given to our neighbor. That is, if one ignores judges, doctors and lawyers.
BULLSHIT. There are now thousands of permits here based on nothing but fraud. Alden gave away the last of the controls. PACT. Fix it now – and prosecute with full force everyone involved.
Tons of registered companies so people can take out permits
First MacKeeva and now Alden? Why don’t YOU pick better leaders? Or wait for it. It’s a novel idea. Get off your ass and do something.
Keep importing scum and Da wa ya get.
Let’s stop all this political correctness stuff and say it like it is.
Jamaicans have seeded this violence and there should be an embargo on permits . Police and Judges should also step up their game and come down hard on these animals.
What about Hondurans, South Americans…
What about Americans, america leads by example and the rest of the world wants to walk in uncle sam’s shoes, well you reap what you sow cayman
I honestly do not think these headlines have anything at all to do with work permit holders!
Mac’s status grants coming home to roost.
Thanks Mac , hope the wotes were worth the ruin of
Cayman.
Aggravation, frustration and violence kills more people than Covid!
Government, clue into reality and get a handle on mental health instead of fear of the unknown and opinions of inadequate advisors!
I’m just saying…..
We reject gun violence and gun culture. We will continue to search for the root cause of gun violence and work together to address them. Once determined, we will gather round the campfire, hold hands and sing Kumbaya My Lord, as bullets whistle past our heads. We will continue to talk, and talk, and then talk some more, like we’ve been doing for the past 30 years. It’s important that we all get the opportunity to express our feelings, as everyone’s feelings are important and need to be taken into consideration. Take note how well that has worked to date.
We will continue to protect the fragile egos of our youth at all cost, declaring them all to be winners, no matter how minute the accomplishments. You learned to tie your shoelaces by Year 10, Congratulations!!!, here is your medal, certificate and $5 off Burger King Voucher. We will continue to hold nobody responsible, as too much responsibility is a burdensome thing, and a potential blow to your overinflated self-esteem. We shall do this by setting the example at the very top, by re-electing criminal politicians and their friends, and continue down the ranks.
Johnny, you broke the classroom door because you were mad at your teacher for asking you to sit quietly down and complete your work? Well, here’s you prize for today, some time in the principal’s office where you can play in the corner with your favourite toys. You broke Ashton’s nose because he asked you to stop cutting in line and elbowing him in the ribs? Well you’ve just won some time with your vice principal to discuss your feelings, and what exactly Ashton did to make you break his nose and jawline. But if you do it again in the next week, I have to warn you, we’re going to have to send you home for two days with your favourite PS5 games, Grand Theft Auto, Postal, etc.
We will continue to ensure that you know your rights from the first day that you are born. We will ensure that you learn that your rights and your feelings supersede those of society at large. Facts don’t matter, feelings do. Someone looked at you cross – whack him. We have nice and cozy jails, staffed with expensive psychologists and psychiatrists who will do nothing for you, other than provide you access to early release.
We will continue to ensure that you understand that depending on your political leanings, race, religion and sex, you can get away with burning city blocks all in the name of equity. Should you be attending some sort of protest in San Francisco, feel free to loot any and all Walgreens that remain in the city – while there’s any remaining. Nothing will happen to you as theft is no longer being prosecuted.
Most important, know that you are special. Whether you walk with your pants down at your ankles, mumble rapping about raping some hoe and her momma’s friend, or you’re working 14 hours a day in your white lab coat, trying to solve problems related to genome sequencing, you’re both equally special!
You guys are so pathetic if you think that that’s the case. These people who are criminals come from homes that don’t give them shit, they don’t care about them from day 1.
Doubt you understood one thing, despite a targeted effort to eliminate illiteracy. Reading comprehension – give it a try some day. It will help you get past just learning how to decipher the KFC lunch menu.
1: I don’t eat kfc.
2: I comprehended the ramble perfectly and my statement still stands.
That’s a very general and foolish assumption. Criminals come from good homes too!
So that gives them the right to be criminals?
Is that what you’re saying?
Honestly coming from a home that never gave you shit nor cared about you from day one SHOULD be more than enough reason to fight for the betterment of yourself!
They just str8 up LAZY! they don’t wanna work hard nor work at all for anything they rather accumulate things by taking from those who do work hard!
Just because you come from a broken home that doesn’t mean you have to remain broken!
Bare in mind…..
There’s BILLIONS of gallons of water that makes the sea which surrounds the ENTIRE world but yet ships still tend to float, why do you think that is even remotely possible?
Here’s why….
An entire sea of water cant sink a ship unless it gets inside the ship.. Similarity, the negativity of the world cant put you down or destroy you unless YOU ALLOW IT TO GET INSIDE YOU!
So all this talk about broken homes and people that don’t care is utter BS if you ask me!
If you want better for yourself you’ll do better for yourself its just that simple! They choose to have weak minds and succumb to BS! Anything you want in life can be yours but it takes hard work and determination which is something people causing things like this actually lack and that’s sad!
I’m a young caymanian who came from a home just like that but that never derailed me that actually pushed me to do even better than I was expected to all because I didn’t want to live my life like that!
Whilst growing up I was hanging around a bad crowd and I did some bad things as well but I chose to put myself on the right track rather than to stay on the bad one I was already heading down on. Thankfully I chose to change my life around before I actually got in trouble. I’m almost 30 and I still have a clean police record.
All because I didn’t wanna be another person who lost their way because life dealt me a shitty hand! I took that shitty hand gladly and turned it into something great! I’m no better than anyone out there yes I still struggle from time to time but at the end of the day my hard work and my determination still pays off more than falling victim to being dealt a shitty hand! It could’ve been way worse for me than it is right now but I did everything I possibly could for it not to be worse right now for me and I’m still pushing forward towards even more greatness!
It really boils down to who you want to be as a person really!
Ummh, is there anything that suggested that this gave them a right to be a criminal. Read again.
Ummh, who said that criminals come from good homes, bad homes, rich homes, or poor homes? Not me. They come from all walks of life, meaning all of the above… beside, that truly wasn’t the intent of the piece.
@Big Poppa 12:28pm Thank you for your brilliantly profound observations on this matter. Now that you’ve concluded your rant, don’t you have a Capitol Building insurrection to plan? Don’t let us pull you away from your Zello discussions about which bear repellent is best to use to end those Blue Lives that you claim to hold so dear. Or is today’s discussion on how to tie a noose so you can hang Pelosi from the rafters? At any event, thanks for your contribution.
What the dumbass drivel are you spouting here?
This is the trollingest troll I think I have ever seen on any post in Cayman.
But I can also tell you like it that way. I’ll bet you’re invited to a lot of parties because you’re so much fun.
Nerve. Struck.
Ah, you got me. You’re far too clever. Can’t sneak anything past you.
Nerve struck. So, and? This proves you can wind people up. Feel better now?
Yeah. It was all about US politics because the US is the centre of the universe and its inconceivable that someone can have right wing views on social issues in Cayman without being a Republican. Twat.
Yo genius, don’t you have some schoolkids to indoctrinate or some rally to go to where to spread your racist hate?
I am currently on a government scholarship and grew up on video games which also included violence and may have been rated past my age.
I am not a violent person. I respect the law, but I might also indulge in some Cannabis here and there.
Please do not generalise.
Hoi! Licensing board, get your fingers out your ass and shut this hellhole down NOW! Or is it owned by board members?
And when these guys go elsewhere? Shut that down too? How about some undercover cops instead.
Exactly, it went from the place at SMB Shops, to Bananas, now Vics……do the same sh*t over and over and expect different results.
Do we really need undercover cops???? Well, it ain’t a bad idea, but how about some efficient, honest, capable, and caring cops????? Where are these cops coming from? And how about some better leadership! And……… I still think the death penalty should be applied to all creeps carrying a firearm illegally. You have to start somewhere or the killing will continue. You have my word on this.
How about the corrupt cops? Plenty corrupt cops undercover! Who gonna name them?
Have to agree with you on the Liquor Licensing Board XXXXX. That board is a joke. However, you can’t blame the bar for these idiots that are going around shooting up the place and injuring innocent people.
yet police worried about speeding and tint.
Alcohol incudes violence yet is celebrated here.
I’ve never met a person who became violent after a ganja spliff. Unheard of. Only thing they’re a threat to while high is a plate of turtle.
What makes me think the gun violence is perpetrated by people who make a living selling Ganga to all your non violent ganga consuming friends?
They should be able to do a few things at once. Also, note that traffic police apparently are only for traffic and not homicides.
Speeding stops and traffic issue stops are, in fact, one of the most common ways that serious criminals are caught. Many many many times criminals don’t get apprehended for a big crime but mess up while driving and then do something suspicious which leads to arrest and then their info (fingerprints, DNA, etc) matches to crimes. Not only does traffic enforcement help to reduce accidents that might cause injury or death on the roadways, but it is a key avenue to catch criminals.
Complete BS. This isn’t the US! When was the last time anyone got DNA tested for speeding. LOL
Drunk drivers do give blood sometimes so…
Only if they refuse a breath test
“Sometimes”
Only for a blood alcohol test
Can recall more than a few occasions on which firearms were found in cars stopped at roadblocks, or after car chases when people tried to run the road block.
Yeah I can remember a couple of times that happened but you’re naive if you don’t think those persons were targeted after a tip off. However a couple of times is not “…in fact, one of the most common ways that serious criminals are caught.” as claimed. The statement was garbage, lifted from one of those lame US Police Action! TV shows. The poster and all those likes seem to have difficulty distinguishing between US TV and reality.
Is this based on Cayman or the rest of the world? Do we use a central fingerprints and DNA database to screen arrests, etc? I don’t think so but just thought I’d ask.
HAHAHAHA you watch too much US TV. How many serious criminals did “Operation Quaker” catch? I’m going to take a wild stab in the dark at zero.
It’s because they don’t actually do their job. They do about 20% of it.
Caygirl ignorant and naïve comment babe.
What do you want to wager that 100% of these gang bangers have every single window on their car tinted??? Duh
THOSE (speeders and illegal window tints) are the ones that SHOULD be stopped and checked silly moo.
Babe? Creepy.
Does not seem to affect TCI or Bahamas that have a far worse situation.
As I said before, it’s only going to get worse.
Until the borders have been opened.
So we can import more poverty and social problems?
Until cops actively enforce laws. Even if it’s on their own kin or countrymen. Stop acting like these fools who possibly come by boat (we will know when covid spreads while we are closed) are any less criminal when not in a pandemic.
For all those that’s ready to bash jamaicans just know that when you’re pointing your finger at someone you have three more pointing back at you.
Every where has their own crime, committed by their own kind especially more in places that makes and produce guns.
R. I. P my boy you will be missed but I’ll see you when I get there,smh.
its mainly jamaicns who cause this type of shit and carry on so
What does mainly mean? There are a few weak, ignorant, losers that look up to Jamaicans?
Nopeeeee
Try Honduras!!!!!!!!!!
… Maybe son, the field has widened.
Right…..
the 46 ‘dislikes’ on your comment 11.20, are digusting. A sensible intelligent comment, finished with some compassion for a murdered human being. Have I got it wrong? These 46 dislikers make me pretty depressed.
Twice in a week versus never before. Prayers for all as I wonder if Island Fever plays a part.
It doesn’t.
Never before? A few years ago there was a killing every two days for 10 days straight
11am and no feeble minded anti-Jamaican posts yet? Wow. Must still be in bed.
Then why you are here stirring the pot idiot ?
Through this medium I have expressed quite a few times and will do so again. DENNIS BRADY is the only Commissioner of Police (if appointed) can clean. -up Cayman with these hienous crimes. PACT GOVT we need quick action now. PPM did not do anything , you need to act. Cayman need to get rid of colonialism by having a white man for COP. I will reiterate again , DENNIIS BRADY needs to be the COP.
Will there an emergency meeting to address these gun crimes by the PACT GOVT. Do not turn a blind eye it is real, I wonder thr COP has to say. He was very involved with Covid briefings. Now we a gun pandemic, as a mother of young boys , my stomach churn to see what is happening to our youths. Wake up Cayman , we will start to be compared like neighboring countries. My heart aches for all the mothers who have lost sons to these hienous crimes. There is now a GUN PANDEMIC in the Cayman Islands. Cayman needs a wake up call, fast approaching the State Advisory List. Grant of Cabinet statuses which spin off overpopulation a contributing factor.
This been going on for years, plenty Cayman ‘boys’ always been involved with plenty guns. Don’t let your youth go such bars.
Thanks for your opinion Dennis Brady…lol…
I have been talking about the social decay for decades. A refusal to implement the policies needed to protect the society is at the root of the problems that we are experiencing today. Political correctness and constantly bending to the will of the business lobby groups will result in the destruction of this country.
CLose this place down!
They’ll just move somewhere else. Better to take care of the real problem
Immigration?
time to tighten up immigration control from you know where….
Here we go. So the logic here is that only Jamaica has criminals. No local born and raised criminals exist here. The poor Caymanians are so easily influenced by Jamaicans to lie, cheat, steal, rape, molest, murder, smoke weed and sell drugs. Poor Caymanians are so scared of the guns and drugs that the Jamaican’s force them to use and sell. LMFAO at you ppl who apparently drink a different kind of locally made kool aid. No, you didn’t name Jamaica specifically, but I’m smart enough to read between the lines and furthermore, this country has historically blamed all their demons and problems on Jamaica.
1 Cabinet minister is a convicted felon so it can’t be 100% Jamaicans, but as you say he must just have been so weak that he was easily influenced by the big bad Jamaicans.
The country is on lockdown. How much tighter do you want it?
I like it prom night night.
Soon I will feel safer in Tegucigalpa, Nassau or Basseterre….
Yikes
Offer $50k for a gun conviction and see how quickly people start talking.
These clowns can’t count that high. They’ll talk for 500.
Horrific and a serious threat
If somebody posts this and the news of the other mass shooting in GT on the Tripadvisor Cayman site there will be far less demand from tourists.
you’re kidding, right? there are like 2 mass shootings per day in the u.s. – they don’t care!
Statistics and geography were clearly 2 classes you failed.
2020 had 615 mass shootings in the u.s. – pretty close to 2 per day on average.
146 or so on July 4th. 80 in Chicago
146/350,000,000= .00000042
5/70,000= .00007143
.00007143/.00000042= 170
So, I guess Cayman is 170 times more dangerous than the US.
11:53, you are sorely misled! Americans do and will care. Areas in the US with high rates of gun crime, don’t get tourists either.
For perspective, you need to remember that Cayman is smaller than many neighborhoods in the US. Two killings in a population this size is huge!
Don’t try sweeping your dirt under a rug, what about the mass killings of over 50 innocent people in Las Vegas and Orlando plus the list goes on and on.
Don’t worry- it’s been seen. People been watching the news for the opening, so see all the news that falls between. They’ve learned not to post it on TripAdvisor as it will just be deleted or a certain local person who posts on that site will say it was media blowing it out of proportion, but tourists are now privy to CNS, CMR , loopcayman and the Compass.
The Compass??? The No-news newspaper! Hate to say it but CMR gets the news out faster (often by days) than anyone else… Cayman needs a real, trustworthy and 24/7 news room.
Tourists have a subscription to the Compass and read CMR? Lol. Yeah right
Just the headlines of the Compass. Listen to CMR and read most articles in Cayman News pertaining to crime or border opening maybe not daily, but quite frequently (a couple times a week
Tourusts already going and gone elsewhere
Now being discussed on TripAdvisor. Took 2 days, but it made it
There isn’t any demand anyway because no one wants to spend their vacation in quarantine. Perhaps we are marketing it wrong – you will be safe in quarantine from the runaway gun violence, which is statistically far more likely to kill or harm you than Covid.
