What Rowley trying to say is chill at home.

[VII]

The same idiots complaining about the harsh measures are the same idiots complaining about spikes associated with softening up of measures..

[redmanjp]

So same laws apply like last time for essential and non essentia

it's not a curfew, but if u doh have to wuk, or go grocery, drug store then keep yuh tail home

[sMASH]

again, dumb measures, as the same number of people have to eat, and have thigns to do, so they forcing the same number of people to utilize a reduced number of outlets. thus inducing the thing u sought to prevent.

as someone else pointed out in a white man country; if u close restaurants, u force people to cook so they have to go to the grocery. if u close the grocery, u force people to buy, so all go to restaurants. but if u leave all open then the people can spread out as can be.

dumb govt, is dumb.

What’s your suggestion as an alternative?

close doors, not ur businesses. do street selling, set up tent and counter and mimic the carnival style street selling.
each business like groceries, hardware, supermarkets, general variety stores, stick to a certain number inside, as people come out, bouncers let go in.
u have to be social distanced, and when interacting masked up. correct, mask are not necessary in open spaces, only with close interaction does it help.

thats bascially it, nothign radical. space out, mask up in doors and when u have to interact with people outdoors. as well as set up roadside vending for any business able to do it, and shutter the indoor sales. buy and ride.

if u can allocate some parking lots and feilds to set up bazaar style shopping better yet.

take license officers and put them to monitor distancing. wasting people time on the roadways.

While they are good suggestions, however, the mentality of the ppl is another there is total disregard for the mask wearing protocols, mind you a mask does not prevent you from getting the virus it is still possible to catch the virus even with one. A total lockdown is needed look at the point we reached to, by Friday we will not have enough beds and equipment to deal with any more patients and the health system will crash

In an ideal world but can you MAKE people space out, properly wear masks etc ? I feel like it’s common sense but that’s not so common.

Hence the reason I asking. Our line of work is along sanitation and maintenance, ruled essential during last lockdown.
For example, if we have a breakdown in a hospital or on a boat out in the sea coming from or gong to a platform it will be messed up if we cant go.

[Soul Collector]

So how much money this govt gave these religious bodies so far in the name of this pandemic?

10 million jump out like is nothing.

edit - now saw the article for the 30 mil over 3 months.

yeah. outdoors may be less risk than indoors but with this very high level of infection and factoring in the P1 more contagious variant as well as non compliance we need more strict measures right now. maybe in a 2 weeks what u say cud work once we see cases coming down. but imagine we supposed to have almost 1000 beds and they could all be filled in 7-10 days is worrying.

[death365]

Iz meh people ah talking bout... So ah kno..



Public service in most ministry ALL they staff being classified as essential... Jus think bout it... ALL

Some groceries and hardware stores are already controlling the number of shoppers, asking shoppers inside to space out, and using more cashiers to get shoppers outside faster.

[pugboy]

well one thing for sure is we have had a steady death rate, lets hope the measures arrest that soon

but i dont feel things will drop very low by the 23rd, may take more than a few weeks to get low figures

[Strugglerzinc]

Permanent secretary in most ministries classing all staff as essential. Keith saying one thing to the public and doing something else in the background.

At least they have a salary to expect.

[MaxPower]

I doh mix matters in my mini marts at all.

I have a big breed creole boy who ensures mask are worn correctly AND in good condition.

Had to loud up a Trini boy with he Vene sweetheart...

Yuh cant be washing your hands half way and wiping it on your stink jeans and then pulling down your mask..and want to push up close close in the line.

Get with the program.

Had a meeting with the business community and we not making joke.

Most of these money will go to the red government jump and wave con churches to feed false pastors.

The very same church that Habit7 attends

[sMASH]

nope, u dont NEEED that. the spread is MINIMAL outdoors. so much so that the peopel that STUDIED covid transmission still suggest to use masks, ONLY when u have to interact. in other words, banning outdoor activity will not reduce infections.


we didnt study where the people contracted the covid from. as said previously, our mentality is 'look people, they spreading covid'.
that not harmful, except when u use that to justify closing down businesses.
we also have to consider people need an income.

so, because outdoor activity will not increase covid, banning it will not decrease covid, people still need to do business, simply allow spaces for people to do thier businesses outdoors in open air with tents, who ever can do that business so.

and by pulling people outdoors, u limit indoor time, whcih IS THE WAY TO STOP THE SPREAD

[redmanjp]

and ppl including 10s of thousands of carriers would be interacting with their chin diapers

[widdyphuck]

What happens when the hospital is full with patients?

[Numb3r4]

They will overflow.

[aaron17]

And they will not transfer to public hospitals.

I have been saying this for weeks or months now.

What annoys me is people bad talking people lining up, social-spaced buying doubles. What they doing wrong?

They all following protocols and they're helping the local economy and at least helping their mental health a bit by getting out. And even if they wear their masks wrongly, the outdoor spread of covid is very very unlikely.

Imagine, this annoying ass chick on Facebook continuously posting about people 'jackassing the scene'. Yet she in the office every day wearing no mask, posing for selfies with people in the office.

All those things are still risks theoretically. Covid protocols are there to decrease risks and not eliminate it so they are still at risks. Plain talk bad manners in the middle of a pandemic you shouldn't be doing anything unnecessarily risky. So basically work and home or work and "essentials".

Any activity that could be regarded as a luxury should be avoided.

[daring dragoon]

99% of people is kants yes, closing the door to a business for 20 days is easier than closing the cover of allyuh casket or one of your child casket after they dead dead dead from getting covid and the hospital full. stay home, eat roti/bread butter for 20 days, you will still survive and go back out to work.

well, now there are numerous studies, by multiple institutions all across europe and north america that have their data to support it.
there is some amount of risk of spread out doors, but it is so rare that it outweighs the best protection of being indoors.

they did see some benefit to the UV as well, but not enough for it to be a determinant fact.



yes, the goal is to get this immediate spike down, but fleck, ppl hadda eat and there are alternatives that give the same results, if not better.

Easy to say if you in not the one who have to run a business

[teems1]

Put in a chair until a bed becomes available.

If they need 02 hopefully a tank is given.
