The bar was set pretty low to start with so I'm not sure this news is anything to shout about.

Also, what are the raw numbers ? A 10% increase from 20 is only 22 !!, The context of the 10% increase is much more meaningful when the actual numbers are also reported.

*"however he lives in Amsterdam where he is a citizen"*

The knowledge deficit is yours. It clearly says he is a citizen of The Netherlands, unless your hatred for Chinese people makes you believe Amsterdam is in China. See my post below

You really have a problem with Chinese people, don't you ? You're so consumed by your hatred for them that you can't even comprehend what the article says.

Far more trustworthy than a hopeless bunch of gullible, conspiracy theorist antivaxxers, who don't have the slightest bit of scientific acumen or the necessary critical thinking skills to disseminate fact from fiction. All they do is go in search of sources to reinforce their own insecure beliefs, in an effort to make them feel more secure.

Poor little sheepies

Nothing to do with Trump. Like you (and others on here) like to frequently point out about the vaccine, neither HCQ or Ivermectin have been approved by FDA for treatment of Covid. In fact neither have even been assigned EUA, unlike the vaccine.
You can't have it both ways !

Remdesivir on the other hand has been approved for treatment of Covid, but won't lessen the chance of you catching it.

None of those are contagious to other people, and a lot of those, if not most, are due to lifestyle choices. Sure, in The Bahamas, obesity & diet are a much larger threat than covid, although Covid & Obesity together ....... well, we all know what that means.

And, I'm tired of people spouting the death statistics from other diseases, accidents etc. Don't you think as a human race we want to eradicate those too, or should we just not bother to try and reduce the cases ? Sort of let the gene pool take care of itself.

Those numbers you posted would be much higher if we hadn't made so many medical advances in the past 50 yrs, and you know it !!
What if we hadn't come up with the Small Pox vaccine, Penicillin, open heart surgery, CAT scans, C-Sections etc ? There would be many more examples for you to add to your list.

When are you going to learn the difference between infected and death?

I agree that we should all bear the consequences of our own decisions. However, the moral dilemma arises when the consequences of your decision affects other people, who didn't have a say in the decision you made.

Smoking in public places has been outlawed in many countries because of the effects of second hand smoke on non-smokers. DUI/DWI laws were enacted because more often or not innocent people were killed or injured, by driver's who chose to drink too much. And let's not forget the burden and cost to the healthcare system

I wish it was as black-and-white as you say, but in realty it isn't and the innocent are far too often collateral damage.

Hmm 313 deaths from a little cough. Even if only 10% of that number can be directly attributed to COVID that would still be 31 more than have died from the vaccine.

As far as I'm aware, it was only the head of Oxford's vaccine group (Sir Andrew Pollard) that said it. None of the other vaccine makers (Pfizer, Moderna, J&J etc) have said it.

Pollard also said it applied to the Delta variant - not the other variants.

He also said that anyone who is unvaccinated (& vaccinated) will eventually meet the virus again. Only time will tell whether or not he is right.

But while we wait and see, at least we now have a good idea of the hospitalized and death statistics for the unvaccinated and vaccinated in The Bahamas.
