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

[redmanjp]

oh shiet

Going gym and doing a double workout tomorrow.

yuh doh think outdoor exercise might be better with the current situation? or home?

I might be temorarily immune, as I had covid late last year......also my covid positive brother stayed with me for 2 weeks this last month, during that time I felt nothing.

Now it's possible I could be asymptomatic, but it's more likely I'm immune as I'm 99% sure I got it from my neighbor last September since I got covid symptoms shortly after they experienced theirs and they did test positive.

careful u doh be d one spreading it in d gym immunity wanes after a few months

anybody have any cliff notes of the press conference?

[aaron17]

They already in the quest. Section

[MaxPower]

Trinis are still not following protocols.

Everything remains as a blasted joke.

When this is over, Trinis would have learnt nothing.

Cases are going down, all this panic is for naught.

We will be back to normal with a week or two naysayers, just have faith.

Not sure if this man serious or not

Doh get complacent yet, we have the P1 variant here, which spreads faster

[pugboy]

we are still in the midst of whatever easter blowout spread
it will take at least a few weeks of good behaviour to bring things under control
however I see many still liming and not adhering

i know many who were having hindu prayers within the last week or so
very irresponsible, hope the muslims are not doing likewise

500+ deaths in last 24 hours due to lack of oxygen in Covid-19 Crisis in India

Complacency and Missteps Deepen a Covid-19 Crisis in India
The new wave will hurt global efforts and vaccine supplies, experts say. Researchers are scrambling to assess whether new coronavirus variants are playing a role in India.

2nrs,

These new variants are no joke. Yesterday had the highest number of covid-19 cases ever recorded in a single day.

Do you think we will reach this position in Trinidad?

[paid_influencer]

please real quiet today again. This virus being suffocated. Keep the faith, measures working, the numbers will come down.

80% of people still wearing masks improperly though. Today I see a guy with full respirator mask, like the kind used for spraying paint, but apparently it not comfortable so he lifted it off his mouth to talk.

We are getting there....

For most of next week I predict we'll be at 150-250 cases daily

Best is when they remove mask to LISTEN to what you saying.

So US cases surprisingly dropping.

[pugboy]

they crossed 50% vaccinated
plus with the existing persons who were already infected things starting to make a dent

So US cases surprisingly dropping.

[Dohplaydat]

So US cases surprisingly dropping.

many places as well, UK, Isreal.....the pandemic, for the most part, is basically over in those countries.

What I'm noticing is that countries that weren't previously affected badly by covid-19, mostly warmer countries......now seem to be getting hit hard by covid as the new strains definitely have a higher Rnaught.

what concerns me is if this spike is solely due to complacency and not really the variant. which means it goes down in a few weeks but P1 continues to circulate and we get a worse spike when it becomes the dominant strain, i talking over 1000 per day

[MaxPower]

Sorry for allyuh Trinis yes.

When will the luck run out?

how does one have an increase of >5000% in 1 week! has to be an anomaly there. or if the initial cases are less than 10 then that shouldn't be considered a trend?
