The seven-day rolling average for today is 39 and the number of people locked down as a result of SARS-CoV-2 has increased again. There are now an estimated 637 official active cases, including three unvaccinated patients in the hospital.

As the number of cases continues to steadily increase, over 30% of the Cayman Islands population has now had COVID-19 since the coronavirus first arrived here in March 2020.

    Theyā€™re figuring this outā€¦yet they arenā€™t looking for the one potential cause of the outbreak, which isā€¦you probably guessed it right.

    Beware!, we now have BA4 and BA5 to contend with, what will they bring?

      If we are all healthy we do not need to worry about the virus. It will be with us until we understand what it want us to do.

    I’ve said this before, any cruise ship permission to land here should be conditional on them reporting the number of positive cases on arrival AND the number of positive cases on completion of their cruise.

      Iā€™m covid negative when I land. Can I be ensured the locals are also covid negative? Who is giving covid to who?

        That is a silly false equivalency. Once government makes a decision to allow cruise visitors to mingle with the local population, locals have little choice in going about our daily routine and making a living but to be exposed to whatever contagions the cruise ship tourists among us might bring. The cruise ship visitors have a choice of whether or not to mingle with locals. If they feel threatened, they can decline to go ashore and live a very plush and catered life–shop, dine, drink, play, party, chill–aboard their ship. It is sobering to note that the cruise ship industry is not being transparent about the numbers of Covid infections among passengers. However one story gives some insight into the situation: Reported earlier this month: “Nine of the 11 cruise ships due to arrive in Victoria this month currently have confirmed COVID-19 cases on board, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)”. Bottom line: if you are a cruise passenger, you pays your money and you takes your chances, but it is a chance you freely chose and paid to take when you booked your cruise.

    Is it true that a large part of the population of Little Cayman has come down with Covid over the last 10 days or so?

    The second booster has been given to millions in the US, UK, Canada, Israel, Bermuda and elsewhere to limit severe disease during the coming wave. Those countries have intelligent leadership. Here government is waiting until dozens of fully vaccinated people with decreased immunity become seriously ill or worse.

      It seems you are prepared to take a booster every six months until eternity.

        If twice-yearly jabs can reduce my chances of being hospitalised or dying, that works for me. That is only one more jab per year than the flu shot. I have family and many friends who take daily injections to keep themselves healthy.

    70 is the number that self-reported. The real number is undoubtedly much higher.

    The country should the healthy approach, going plant base will help. If the virus is contracted there will be little to no symptoms.Then we do not have to worry about the cruise people.

      What an absurd statement. “The country should the healthy approach, going plant base will help.” And we wonder why some get elected by uneducated voters… and we wonder why some simply don’t get logic and science. Cayman, I cry for you, is this the best you can put forward?

      I’ll take horse medicine before I go plant based.

      Diet, when done properly, may feed healthy gut bacteria and offer a shorter illness but that alone won’t necessarily shield anyone from infection or symptomatic illness. There are plenty of college kids that survive on beer and french fries for weeks at a time – technically plant based, but none of us would call that healthy. A diet of fake news and faulty assurances seems to be just as unhealthy these days.

        they survive on beer because young bodies are resilient and detox system is strong…the older you get the less efficient your immune is…add certain kind of messengers introduced to it

        on the other hand, many concentration camps survivors lived to 90-100…science can’t figure it out yet…WHAT DO WE REALLY KOW ABOUT LIFE?
