Economist says...

From the Article.
"One study comparing symptoms among people vaccinated and unvaccinated found that a vaccinated person infected with corona had a 58% less chance of developing a fever. Most people who were vaccinated and then infected said they felt more like they had a minor cold.
Another difference is the risk of being hospitalized.
The vaccinated have a much lower chance of being hospitalized because of their symptoms and are less likely to suffer long-term symptoms, often referred to as long-COVID."

I am all for going digital but this is rediculous. So the conch vendor is going to have tap and go facilities? try most small shops, many don't take credit cards. The shops say that the bank makes it very difficult to get it and that the cost is very high.

If the businesses go digital and the public will follow as they have done in places like Canada and European countries.

RBC has this backwards. Fix the businesses first insted of punishing the man in the street.
