Those other countries weren’t taking us for a ride when they originally gave their corona death numbers then . I guess we are just getting a delayed experience . Surprised most of the families aren’t jumping on social media by they are probably afraid of being scorned for corona because they probably have it too. Relatives still liming and coming back home to their older ‘ comorbidities ‘ parents , grand parents , aunties and uncles .

its in all our interests that the numbers remain low. if for some reason, we manage to get every body tested, that SHOULD get tested, and the numbers go up, nobody wins. all we get is to say, 'yes, rowley dem lie, it worse than we know'.

Precisely, people don’t realise that a lot of lawyers have no real morals/ ethics who would gladly willingly push to find a loophole and put it out in the open . As to why they can’t inform the authorities by the side and be like ‘ aye I not going to make any fan fair but allyuh need to fix this up in your laws’ but they basically hoping lots of people dead which may happen anyway. But let’s encourage people thAt liming is a must . If we had failed for carnival it would have been Trinidad to catch but clearly we weren’t hearing about random people who died on the ward in hospital or ones at home .

if u make good law, the loop holes would be harder to find and only for a minority of situations. blaming lawyers for gaping loopholes is like blaming a doctor for finding cancer.

Trinidad has not had a serious disaster or emergency in recent times. The society in general is not conscious of emergency prep and conservation.

It was important to make citizens understand the severity and impact of covid very early on.

Saying mild mild mild early on and now artificial suppression of virus spread through ststistical manipulation serves to confirm to the public that is only weak ppl does get sick bad, is just a flu, yuh can't hide forever and everyone has to get it; rather than serving to change ppl behaviour and habits

I get the feeling the people in charge of releasing that info are getting overwhelmed. For the past couple weeks there have been a few strange things showing up in the reports.
Don't you feel cheated and conned by the goverment?

A very selfish government that has your life at risk

they will say daiz no big deal- h1n1 kill 41. but that's without suppressing it. if we didn't try to stop covid from spreading it could easily be in the hundreds, or God forbid, a few thousand!

Legal notice removes guideline stipulation for places of worship
JULIEN NEAVES 17 HRS AGO

A diagram from legal notice 316 demonstrating the stipulated seating on public transportation vehicles

THE NEW legal notice on the Public Health Ordinance has made changes to regulations regarding places of worship, likely in a response to a recent court ruling.

The ruling was made on Friday by Justice Ronnie Boodoosingh on two constitutional claims which challenged the validity of the coronavirus public health regulations.

Before him were two separate claims – one brought by Pundit Satyanand Maharaj and another by five men – Dominic Suraj, Marlon Hinds, Christopher Wilson, Bruce Bowen and Collin Ramjohn – who were arrested at Alicia’s Guest House in St Ann’s at an alleged covid19 party on April 9. They were later charged with breaching the regulations. These were the first cases to test the covid19 regulations.

In his decision, Boodoosingh held that the regulations made by the minister were permissible under the public health ordinance.

However, Boodoosingh said, “Making the breach of the Ministry of Health guidelines a criminal offence, in my view, is outside of the ambit of the powers given to the minister under the (Public Health) Ordinance.

“This amounts to the minister authorising regulations which criminalise conduct which, in several instances, are uncertain and vague or expressed as non-mandatory practices. Such a provision is not a valid or legitimate exercise of the powers under the ordinance.”

Legal notice 316 Section 4(5) stated a religious or ecclesiastical organisation or any other religious organisation may conduct various religious where the gathering of persons at any place used for that purpose does not exceed ten persons and the organisation comply with the guidelines for places of worship issued by the Ministry of Health. The new legal notice, however, removes the requirement to comply with the guidelines.

The legal notice also included a new Section 15 which states: "The Minister of Health may, for the purpose of the operation of these regulations issue such guidelines as he may deem necessary and breach of such guidelines shall not constitute an offence."

The legal notice also referred to Schedule 3 on the capacity of public transportation vehicles in accordance with the Prime Minister's announcement on Saturday that seating capacity would be increased from 50 per cent to about 65 per cent.

Schedule 3 states: "Public transportation vehicles may be allowed to transport only as many passengers as can be afforded window-seating, in accordance with the size and make of the vehicle. This guideline therefore would preclude the occupation of any middle-seat spaces in any vehicle with seating extending across the width of the passenger cabin.

"In all instances, passengers are to be required to wear face-coverings (preferably masks) for the duration of their journey; and windows are to be kept fully opened, as far as practicable, to allow for optimal circulation of air through the vehicle."

The response to the very valid question about the increase in %age of positive cases really didn't sit well with me..

I believe I heard the CMO previously say they're getting 600 samples a day so when all the labs are up to full capacity of 1200+/day they can reduce the backlog. BUT.. some interesting things come out of that. The reports show results including samples taken in a 10 day window, every day it's under 300. What's happening to all the samples over 10 days old? Are they discarding them as an asymptomatic person in isolation would be free to return to the public at that time?

That it shows the success of the testing strategy.

Even though internationally a successful testing strategy produces fewer than 5% positives.

This is probably due to the fact that men weren't wearing masks and/or were going into settings where they were likely to contract it.

males make up 53% of cases but 83% of deaths. that alone would not explain it. i think it has to do with males having only 1 X chromosome

Would that mean that their testing before was failure?
