COVID-19 in Trinidad & Tobago (Local Updates & Discussions Only)

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Trinidad probably the first country to say the case is mild

[paid_influencer]

Minister Deyalsingh said
Drugs, machinery parts wouldn't come if we shut down flights.

How many drugs and parts does come on a passenger airlines.

What an idiot....

I know some skybox companies use CAL flights for Miami-Trinidad shipping. When Amerijet stopped taking TT$ payments, my skybox sent an email that they moved moved to CAL which would delay shipments a bit.

also, fark PNM. Current situation in bonding shipments means the part can arrive in Trinidad in a day, but has to wait a week or two for customs clearance. PNM MC.

A study of patients in China shows median time to discharge was 22 days while average time to death was 18.5.

It was also discovered that patients who survived were infectious for up to 37 days, far longer than previously thought.

What is a mild case of covid?

a normal flu that you easily get over but no clue on long term outcome.

This flu was created by animals carrying 2 different virus but locked in cages and put into animal torture chambers in the wet market their immune system dropped to low with the level of stress and the species being so close to eachother which would never happen in the world the virus was allowed to combine into a super virus.

So who knows what the long term effect could be, my money is on its nothing and the human body will adapt to this. This is part of natural selection this virus is killing off people with diabetes whose sugar level is too high, this is very typical of natural selection to kill off the weak and select the strongest, it is the reason Crocodiles have been unchanged for millions of years they are nature's perfect product of evolution.

for the people against panic buying -

[sMASH]

[pugboy]

What about black disinfectant ?
Can it kill covid19?

[rspann]

I feel the safest thing is to stock up and go park up in the sea for a few weeks.

Yes but what about the other squirrels who didn't get nuts? Panic buying means there will be shortages. It also creates unnecessary anxiety and panic in others. Also, suppliers now have to ramp up production which means calling out workers to meet demand, putting them at more risk having to go to work.

For those who want to stockpile, having essentials for 3-4 weeks is ok, but don't overdo it.

The reason for stockpiling for roughly a month is because if you do get it and you need to self-quarantine, you'll have yourself covered for that period.

But alternatively, it's not really necessary if you have a family member or someone who can do this for you.

What is a mild case of covid?

Covid is covid I agree, but also 80% of the cases are mild, from those who've had it mild they say they felt far worse with the flu.

Again, the most important things are to reduce your chances of getting and spreading it. It's about reducing the impact peak (i.e. number of people getting it at once).

Eventually most of us here will get it, just relax for now and be mindful of hygiene and limit your contact to those at risk:

What setting Yuh does put the AC on.... everywhere?

Italy recorded almost 200 deaths...not cases...DEATHS in 1 day

What are the odds of Trinidad getting it so bad?

not much cause the virus life span is reduced as temps go further above 27deg c. we regularly go above 34, so that will help a lot.

[paid_influencer]

Yes but what about the other squirrels who didn't get nuts?

should I wait for them to get their nuts?

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Africa may not have the virus, but it have everything else

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Level damage control taking place now...They dont know how to hide it any more

[sMASH]

Africa may not have the virus, but it have everything else

africa dont have a way to detect it accurately. the mild cases are normal cold virus, the harsh cases passed off as famine, or some other disease.
same ting like garden and doubles, imburt know them injun have money, he just wasnt sure how much.

We have a pharmacist/ medical sales rep leading our fight against a pandemic.
Btw the way one becomes a pharmacist in Trinidad is by not being good enough to be a doctor in the first place.
Let that sink in!

Somebody hiding news about this 19 virus ..

Too much panic in TT

Garcia should shut ALL schools and cleanse them ..

Why he so slow ?

[Dizzy28]

Not necessarily ...my neighbours son doing Pharmacy and he is a national scholarship winner. His brother is a doctor without being a scholarship winner so the pharmacist smarter by A Level performance than the doctor.

Perhaps you were being sarcastic but...

----------

The World Health Organization (WHO) has rushed to beef up the ability of African countries to test for the virus and train health professionals in caring for people affected by it. Only Senegal and South Africa had labs that could test for the virus at the end of January, but 37 countries now have testing capability.

[Ben_spanna]

With the potential world wide outbreak of this deadly virus Coronavirus in China and Chinese new year being this week coming, there are millions of Chinese nationals that return to China to celebrate, many nationals from Trinidad also go back home.
Should these NAtionals be allowed to return to Trinidad freely after their celebrations and risk a national epidemic?
For once id like to see Trinidad health and immigration act responsibly and bar travelers from re-entering.

Agreed. We should take front on this

I started this thread since Jan 21st... i would hope that some of you would have been smart enough to have some additional food supplies, toilet paper, necessary drugs, childrens ,medicines, hand sanitizer... bleach etc..... so that when yesterday came you were not one of those caught in the confusion.

What i cannot understand ... Point fortin borough day is around the corner and they said that depending on the severity of the country in a few days they will determine "IF" to postpone it, really? so for once cant you idiots take a hint from the rest of the world and actually be Pro-active and not reactive.- cancel the damn thing, dont wait and see or wait and hope- do the right thing, dont risk thousands of peoples lives over a one day party.
