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

[redmanjp]

ah fark. chupid me went outside the saharan dust maskless for a couple hours on Sunday. now 99°F, chills, fatigue and sore throat. i look for dat

Get tested. I had the same symptoms yesterday …. Tested positive today. It finally got me. It feels like a typical trini virus. Already feeling better.

on day 5 since your symptoms u can take another test and if negative u can end isolation according to MOH. although FDA says to do 2 tests (rapid antigen) at least 24hrs apart to be sure.

Found some more info: the booster shots are not updated bivalent vaccines. Same old J&J and Sinopharm from last year. No Pfizer, Moderna or Novavax updates. Yeah you can take those as a booster, but what is the point? That's like taking the 2021 flu vaccine for the 2023 season since we now know much more about how rapidly Covid-19 evolves.

if WHO hasn't granted EUA/EUL for the bivalent ones, we can't use it.

ORRRRRR You could just not give a sheit, treat it like a normal viral infection, not test and carry on like normal.

Remember when China released videos in Late 2019 and Early 2020 about people just randomly dropping down and bodies lining the street and we never ever saw that happen in the 3 years since this happened?

Yeah don't take the chain up again this time please.

99% survival rate even in a fatarse population like Trinidad.

Press conference with the COVID response team at 10:30am tomorrow. Not sure what they're coming to say but I guess it's been a long time they haven't gotten to engage with the public on it.

[adnj]

There has been a slow, steady increase in Trinidadian COVID hospitalizations over the last 45 days. Not much concern save for those that are in a high(er) risk group.

Press conference with the COVID response team at 10:30am tomorrow. Not sure what they're coming to say but I guess it's been a long time they haven't gotten to engage with the public on it.

perhaps:-

mandatory covid tests from ppl coming from/ passing through china like US and other countries
get vaxxed for carnival

no 'as of midnight tonight....' . at least not until after carnival. the most might happen is mandatory masks again if this new kraken variant (XBB1.5) really spreading fast.

[sMASH]

Slow steady increase in surveillance that is detecting what was already there... Incidental and not causal covid positivity.

Schools had had failed to even acknowledge positive covid tests fsr less for reporting it to MoH

Masks didnt work the first time, they will come back on that?

Had enough time to collect data to show it works, but no.

Unfortunately, the covid19 virus with its most recent mutations seems to be gathering a lot of momentum locally and globally.
I am going to do all that I can to avoid crowds and any events where citizens may be operating by throwing caution to the wind.
I hope others exercise due care and attention to their circumstances.

[redmanjp]

universal masking is to reduce the likelihood of the wearer infecting others- not necessarily stopping the wearer from getting infected, although this may be an additional benefit depending on the type of mask.

but even if it only reduced spread by 10%, in a situation where infections are increasing exponentially it will slow it down by more than 50% after several cycles of infection.
