MARCH 31, 2021: Six-year-old Nathan Wanliss is unable to attend online classes, watch TV, or use his tablet as he suffers from cataract in the right eye and deteriorating vision in the other. He cannot see well enough to practise penmanship or read without putting excess pressure on the left eye. Nathan is one of countless Jamaicans whose elective surgeries have been derailed as hospitals sideline non-emergency cases amid mounting admissions from COVID-19.
