A strategy that may be invisible to us does not mean that there is no strategy.
This seems to be focusing on the students who are writing exams in April/May/June/July with a longer view of full reopening maybe in Term III or next academic year - assuming some tie-in to vaccination availability,.

I also don't see the correlation to carnival.

By preventing a school interaction, numbers supposed to be low. So thst is the miracle that he could use to say he save carnival.
And jess like elecions/bsrs, reopen schools in February and blame the csrnivsl numbers on schools, but say they will monitor.

No way we can have Carnival in the usual way with community spread still going on u will have to completely lift the restrictions on gatherings. If bars can't open as normal no way that happening as when cases inevitably explode like we have never seen children would go right back to virtual classes. And of course another lockdown after. And they said yesterday 3 children hospitalized with MIS-C so at this point Carnival is wishful thinking unless it only involves a few virtual events.

multiple neighbours had covid parties normel normel last night. Live DJs, street full of parked cars, people drinking and being rowdy, etc.

police cyar do nothing because is private property. I feel this talk about re-opening schools very premature.

[redmanjp]

There ought to be a legal way to shut down these gatherings, whether to use noise pollution laws or something else in the mean time especially with Christmas round d corner until the AG comes up with a solution.

Because the red government wants a new generation of clerks and labourers

Request for e-textbooks

is time the wider public knows about library genesis, and to avoid it completely because piracy is wrong, and not a completely valid way to get all your textbooks and articles

Interesting.

[matr1x]

I can't wait for the rise in numbers

[Numb3r4]

That sounds more like and indoctrination/re-education camp.

Just now folks will be referred to by a number not a name.

Hello 004 son of 4257 how is you Mom...sorry....642. Forgive my sentimental tongue slip I'm an old man back in my day, in the before times, before this new normal......


The whole thing about the kids at their desks, seems like the robots won't have to put us in the matrix we might just do it ourselves.

Mason Hall Secondary Student, test positive for COVID-19:
The school is closed temporarily.

The Division of Education, Innovation and Energy has been informed that a student at the Mason Hall Secondary School has tested positive for COVID-19.

In response to this latest development, the Division has taken the decision to temporarily close the school to ensure that all established protocols and guidelines are observed, including the thorough sanitization of the school’s compound and the relevant contact tracing.

^ who would have guessed that if u open back schools sooner or later kids would test positive

im hoping with all protocols there wouldn't be spread - let's wait and see. if it's just 1 or 2 +ves we should continue, if more that perhaps keep them closed longer. this school should close for a few days though.

[elec2020]

U asking school children tobe responsible. Was always going to be a tough task. Its a win lose situation honestly. Cause its clear that the teaching/learning at home not as good as teaching/learning at school. But if u bring these kids back out u risking an increase in cases and the spread of covid 19 as it is unlikely that school kids will be responsible like we want them too when they are among their peers

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Covid-19 cases at 2 secondary schools

[Numb3r4]

Where are those schools located are they inclusive of the Mason Hall incident or in addition to?

[paid_influencer]

THE IRONY.

(I sincerely wish the best for the affected staff and students).

edit: the one in Diego Martin is not confirmed positive.

[Numb3r4]

Thanks for the reply.

this is the sauce by the way, REAL TALK WITH SAIEED ALI
https://www.facebook.com/TTREALTALK/pos ... 9775927586

The Ministry of Education and the Trinidad and Tobago Unified Teachers Association (TTUTA) are now investigating claims of a possible covid19 case at the Diego Martin North Secondary School.
The have been several reports today that a teacher had been sent home to self-quarantine after the school administration suspected her of having the virus.

Teachers and students in forms 4, 5, and 6 have been having blended classes with some face-to-face classes as students prepare for the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) and Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE).

Contacted for comment, president of TTUTA Antonia De Freitas said the matter was still under investigation.
Minister of Education, Dr. Nyan Gadsby Dolly stated that the ministry had been advised of the situation.
But she said, “At this time, no school closure has been recommended, as the teacher does not have a positive covid19 test, and her last interaction with 11 students was under strict safety protocols.”

Saieed does get things done.

TUTTA saying 2 covid cases in their press release headline, but saying "persons that had to be placed under quarantine" in the body. So they what is the real point of the press release? The new TUTTA president real jokey.

[Dohplaydat]

Right, school after school gonna close.....they need to figure out a realistic protocol ASAP otherwise they'll be waiting till 2022 to re-open schools properly.

[sMASH]

Unless u wear on hazmat suit this jokey protocols not gonna help any thing past half hour in continuous proximity.

Why covid so read more than flu even though both airhead the same way, is cause the viral loading. 5he more virus particles, the stronger the effect.

So once they stay on contact continuously, u WILL get more particles, being encountered.
