The virus will run its course in families. Soe and curfew will do nothing. The damage has been done.

This does not seem to be an issue. It's probably investigative journalism to uncover truths/unthruths.

What is the point of her "list"? Is she an epidemiologist? Can she investigate a person dying at home from a scientific standpoint?

Why do some of these people not realise just how out of their depth they truly are? She seems like another impse just looking for a story to appear to be "exposing" something. Probably trying to increase the level of panic in the country.

I hope people who know about this stuff aren't afraid to call her out. We need as much factual and scientific information as possible.

Can someone tell me how a a curfew 9pm in the night when all business places closed going to slow the spread of COVID-19?
That curfew supposed to be during the day!!
*major facepalm*

How much sense you making? If the curfew is in the day , how are people going to get food and medication? Any ideas?

the ttps can enter you property and home if you have a get together or they suspect a gathering of limers and gun butt to allyuh head an you cant do sheit. remember in 2020 we saw police in india beating persons to get off the streets and not gather in crowds etc, from today the TTPS can do the same.

A buddy of mine just invited me to a lime at his house tonight at 630pm for dinner with 5 people total. The fact that this lime is completely legal and no authority has a problem with 5 people liming from 5:01am to 8:59pm shows that all the hyperventilating about police kicking in doors etc is completely ridiculous.

This curfew is a complete joke and has been tailored to give the appearance of doing something when they're not doing anything at all. Political theatre.

The lime is a bad idea and no law can stop people from doing stupid things. Just like your friend

Ppl will be begging for something to be done...nothing can be done again. Its too late. Blame will be in vain.

[MaxPower]

The liming will continue.

But let Trinis do what they do best and we will just wait it out and take whatever consequences we get.

stupid is as stupid does yes. no wonder 25000 jackarse went tobago and we in this state now. big men and women who feel they "bright" will know their fate because when you lying in the hospital bed is you alone lying there fighting for air and then in the casket. good luck with the lime.
some cant seem to understand that the baldhead man say if you not essential and /or going to work , grocery or pharmacy you have to stay the fuq home. the police/ttdf can stop you and question you as to where you going, where you living and so forth. so unless you living in the house with the other 5 persons you are breaking the SOE regulations and the police CAN arrest you anytime while the SOE is in effect. if you want to try a smartman thing ans say you working there, living there or lines like that is up to you cause it go be you alone 6 feet under or fighting for air.

China had promised to donate 100K doses since PM met with Xinping. But we were also borrowing from China $1B to supplement the budget. Since Sinopharm got approved, we are also buying 1.5M doses of Sinopharm, they will just take it out of the loan and give us the change. The loan stipulates that 15% must be on Chinese goods, so the vaccines and other medical stuff satisfy this.

[hover11]

Not to change the topic of discussion but we borrowing to buy vaccines and supplement the economy, how long can we borrow to pay recurring expenses given the economic effects of covid and lockdown measures have not revealed themselves yet? As far as I know all debts must be repaid....

Some updates regarding friends of my family who fighting up with the virus.

One elderly lady from Arima (no clue how she got it because she and huzzy dont leave the house). She can only speculate the fish van (face palm). She is currently in one of those tents in mt.hope and doctors say she not looking good...

If anyone from Malabar(closer to the police post). BE VERY CAREFUL. There is an entire street where every other household on that street has it. Every household in that said street is related. They are all on home quarantine.

[sam1978]

Habit7 Thanks for the clarification.

Do you think it’s wise to borrow at this point in time. What will we do next year borrow again? What about repayment ? Right now where is our debt to GDP ratio?

Now should be a time of cutting back. These oversized deficit budgets will get us nowhere.

Now hearing a Std.5 teacher from Grant Memorial passed away.

Anyone can confirm?

Possibly the worst of the WHO vaccines yes. They are better than nothing obviously, but I do worry that buying 1.5M doses of this vaccine might be a bit of a waste....in terms of allowing us to get back to normal.

Have a look at Seychelles, the majority of the first to be vaccinated there were given Sinopharm.

40% of their population have received 2 two doses of Sinopharm.

25% of their population got Astrazeneca, but most are only first dose, or just received their second dose.

The issue isn't with AZ (yet) but Sinopharm.

The fact that cases continue to spread so much with many vaccinated persons testing for positive is concerning.

It means that even if we reach 60% vaccinations with Sinopharm we can still be having outbreaks, but deaths should be reduced greatly.

[MaxPower]

So it appears EVERY one getting infected never know how they got it.

OH i was always home

I always sanitized

I always wore my mask

I always kept my distance


Yeh……OK.
