Dear Colleagues,
We apologise if last Friday’s post was a bit strong on the fear factor. As restricted as we all feel in lockdown, especially when we see easing of restrictions in richer nations, we must continue to exercise caution.
We repeat the link which shows cumulative deaths, hospital resource use, infections and testing, daily deaths, mask use, social distancing for Trinidad and Tobago. Once you are on the link, you can access other countries from the dropdown. We suggest that you take some time and have a look.
It is our opinion that everyone with the opportunity to do so should be vaccinated. However, we do understand that some may opt out for personal or medical reasons.
