OK. Now do away with the safekey.
Dose Minister Dim Wilson not see the vaccine drive is dead in the water??
Thought they already had?
I agree, we need to scrap all the testing, TA’s everything now. Those that refused to be vaccinated…well f*** ‘em.
They have done away with it, other than for things like Bermuda Festival events, which for some reason still require it. I think it’s to do with a limit on gatherings of 100.
Doesn’t apply for churches, naturally.
It’s just annoying and inconsistent at this point.
Agreed. And particularly for churches.
“OK. Now do away with the safekey”
Safekey is no longer required at restaurants or clubs for ordinary socialising
I am confused. How can 73.3% of population have only one dose, i.e. not fully vaccinated & 72% having two doses, i.e. fully vaccinated for about six months after second dose.
That adds up to 140.3% of the population.
Further how many of the fully vaccinated have had the booster to keep in date? If they have not had the booster the effectiveness of the vaccine declines by the day making them no longer vaccinated.
It does add up, just not the way you are describing it. LOL
Yeah you are confused.lol
Let’s clear it up for you. But the whole point of it is to make it seem more that what it really is for those who cant do the math.
- the 73% single dose number includes those who have had 2 doses. So In Reality there is only about 1% new vaccinations.
- as for the boosters… Remember you are not eligible until after 6 months. So 72% I those who are “eligible” have gotten their booster. In reality it’s only about 35% of the entire population.
The way they say it is strategically put together trust me. It’s not hard to understand but they know not everyone will get it.
