COVID curve still climbing with 239 new cases

| 17/11/2021 | 133 Comments

(CNS): With another 239 positive results added to the tally of COVID-19 cases on Wednesday, just three of which were in travellers, the eleven week long community outbreak of the coronavirus in Cayman is showing no sign of slowing down, with daily average cases still increasing. As of 8am Wednesday, there were 3,543 active cases of the virus after another batch of 1,167 PCR results.

According to Chief Medical Officer Dr John Lee’s daily report, Cayman has now recorded 5,156 cases since the pandemic arrived here in March last year. The toll on the business community also continued, with 4,710 people now in isolation or quarantine, despite the widespread use of lateral flow testing, which allows people who test negative but live in positive households to still go to work and school.

People are making use of the rapid test kits and 1,415 SARS-CoV-2 infections have been identified in the first instance with these do-it-yourself tests.

According to the latest official figures released to the press, there are now 19 patients in the hospital with COVID-19.

Few details are being made public about those patients, but an internal document leaked to the Cayman Marl Road social media pages, which CNS checked was a legitimate Health Service Authority data count, revealed that one of the patients is a baby admitted to the paediatric unit. Four of the patients are currently in intensive care and the other 14 are on the general ward. Six of these patients are receiving additional oxygen and just one is on a ventilator.

That data also reveals that 13 of the patients are unvaccinated, and that over the last 24 hours four patients had been discharged from hospital and two had been admitted.

Meanwhile, in the Sister Islands Wednesday morning there were 54 active cases on Cayman Brac, as Little Cayman is said to be virus free, and no new cases were identified in the previous 24 hours. To date, there had been 105 total cases recorded in the Sister Islands, with 51 having recovered. Out of the total number of cases in the Sister Islands, 55 were fully vaccinated, six were partially vaccinated and 44 were unvaccinated.

The vaccine clinic on Grand Cayman reopened on Tuesday, but despite the gap in service and the ongoing spread of the virus, just 93 new people sought their first vaccine dose, while 106 got their second. The largest group of people seeking vaccinations on Tuesday were those getting a booster, as 742 people got their third shot.

Just three days away from the opening date, 78% of the estimated total population has had a two-dose course of the vaccine, protecting them from the worst effects of the virus.

According to officials, government is expected to host a COVID-19 press briefing on Thursday at 3pm, the first in more than a month, which is expected to deal with plans for the border to reopen Saturday.

During the last 48 hours CNS has received multiple emails, messages and comments regarding the inability of travellers expecting to arrive on Saturday to get any response to their queries about the new protocols that will be implemented at the weekend. These new rules will lift the quarantine requirement for vaccinated travellers and shift to rapid testing as a way of managing more virus outbreaks.

    I have several friends who are now positive for Covid-19. At least 14 of them. It’s about 50/50 vaccine vs unvaccinated. They all showed similar symptoms but reacted differently in terms of how severe they were affected. Thankfully no one needed to be in hospital. However it was is interesting to know that when the vaccinated showed up to do the PCR exit testing on day 11 they were all positive. Everyone is out now but only after testing on day 15. I think it is extremely important to properly monitor the infection period otherwise it would just keep spreading.

        I do think that there are people to blame for this rapid spread. Those that chose to ignore social distancing / quarantine rules and those that decided a trust system would be adhered to. A spread was pretty inevitable but it could have been slowed down or avoided.

    People need to chill out. There is no need to close schools, do some sort of lockdown, etc. Get vaccinated and don’t be an idiot. Who cares if there are thousands of cases – its not March 2020 anymore. Kids are FINE and adults have made their choices. Any restrictions just kicks the can further down the road to what is inevitable.

      You do realize that the more it is allowed spread the more likely there will be break through cases and possibly new mutations. The virus instinct is to survive and the more hosts the merrier.

    The 2, 5 and 10 day LFTs for incoming travellers are super important to stop the virus coming into Cayman, as we are very fortunate to have very very few cases currently. That is why we must test arriving travellers, to stop covid being imported, otherwise we may end up with tens or even god forbid hundreds of positives a day.

      3. If someone refuses to do a test as required how will that be dealt with?

    I’m kind of excited about this border reopening thing really, in as much that our first arrivals based on the current pandemic protocols should only be giraffes, – think about it. Completely compliant with all vaccination requirements, easy to keep quarantined in a fenced area if they test positive, and they’re the only ones able to maintain almost dbl the required social distancing at all times as the virus rages through our community, – and, no additional burden on the HSA ! Sounds ridiculous ? – maybe, but besides the lampooning going on with our current Govt and possibly the Trolley Roger, it could also become the next best attraction we’ve got.

        I haven’t observed anyone having to endure any repercussions for ignoring safety guidelines, regardless of vaccination status (on those rare occasions when I know their status). If we were serious about control, the same standards being haphazardly applied to [some] restaurants would be applied to fast-food places, bars, pubs and clubs. No distancing, and very little masking.

        Weekends, even worse. I fear that with the opening up of the country, a significant amount of the population has chosen to declare the event over.

That virus is still with us today (H1N1). We can’t outrun this.

          Indeed we can’t but it appears we were only a month or two away from a vaccine approved for kids aged 5-11. Much of the current spike is being driven by kids in that age group. Had we simply waited a few month, we might not have quite the same wave we’re having now. It really doesn’t matter that tourists are coming without quarantine at this point – they’re probably more at risk of us than we of them. However, where the government has failed is in mandates that would have prevented the current wave, and a total lack of enforcement of what mandates they do have. Other countries are requiring verified vaccination status to enter certain public places – it’s a reasonable way of opening up. Why not here? That’s the profit and convenience point I’m making.

      What point are you trying to make? All responsible countries leading in vaccination programmes should also have a national compensation programme for those who claim serious injury from a vaccination. The idea is to make people feel secure about being vaccinated knowing they can make a claim if they are injured According to the US CDC, since 1988, over 24,538 petitions have been filed with the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Over that 30-year time period, 20,400 petitions have been adjudicated, with 8,439 of those determined to be compensable, while 11,961 were dismissed. Total compensation paid over the life of the program is approximately $4.6 billion. So the fact that any country is facing claims from people claiming vaccine injury is nothing out of the ordinary. What is your point?

      What would you suggest they do? The vaccination rate is very high, boosters are being rolled out, lateral flow testing is taking place in both private and public sector workplaces, at the same time as mask wearing and social distancing have been bought back in. Do they take the kids out of school again and bring back the curfew/lockdown measures we had in 2020? I strongly suspect that most people wouldn’t abide by those rules again.
      I’m no big fan of the “open the borders at all costs approach” or the we’ve just got to live with it rhetoric but I just don’t really see what more we can do to stop the spread- covid is here now and I think the vast majority in the community want to get back on with their lives as best they can.

      The sickening humor behind it is that we are taking their advice. A true case of blind leading blind. Or are we blinder??

      Border reopening won’t have any impact. The problem is Uneductaed idiots in cayman not getting vaccinated, buying lateral flow tests and isolating if positive, and social distancing and avoiding crowded venues. If everyone followed the rules here we would have less cases. Having said that, cases don’t matter and we are doing just fine in terms of hospitalizations.

      “Unbridled community spread”.

      Until everyone has immunity, whether from catching it or vaccines and boosters, it IS going to spread. That’s the nature of a virus.

      People need to take personal responsibility.
      • stay home if positive
      • wear a mask and social distance if concerned about catching it
      • get vaccinated and greatly reduce chance of being seriously ill

        No you must wait for Govt to tell you what to do? Take personal responsibility- tsk tsk. I mean you would continue to eat contaminated food until the Govt forced you not to wouldn’t you? 🙄

        Another herd immunity believer, it seems.

        If there was such a thing – that would be great – the flu may have disappeared but now – at least in some parts of the world.

        But it hasn’t.

        Never said that the flu and COVID were one and the same, though.

        There is no such thing as herd immunity with COVID. Christ, even the madman in the UK has stopped talking that shyte!
