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

[MaxPower]

Co morbidity really not making a difference with this virus. Perfectly healthy ppl going down.

Says the 400lb living comorbidity.

Any excuse for your fat ass not to try n lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle eh

400 now?

Jeezus croiceeee…..i remember him saying a few months ago that he was just under 300.

Slim….what it is you doing wrong??

Actually I am 185


Now mero has never seen me, and one has to wonder why he is obsessed over me?

Does he jack off, thinking about me?

185?

Wow!

Keep it up bro

[matr1x]

I have only crossed 200, once and I think 210 is not bad.


But mero obsession means he is close to 400 and needs someone to identify with.

So I need to walk with my immunization card?

Everything moderation is fine. Anyone who eats purely healthy are not just boring but also miserable.

Sligh indulging helps to feed the happy centers of the brain. Super dieters are often bitter and fake.

Wanna hear ah most controversial vaccine campaign? This is what I came up with..


'Play de devil...jab,jab'

An image would show a blue devil playing mas. This means in order to have carnival...u hadda get jab.

On the flip side it really could mean u going to hell when u get the vaccine.

So yea...it controversial.

UK Freedom day today. All covid measures go out the window, nightclubs reopen and mask-wearing abandoned.

Let's see what happens.

Now, why did they do this?

They're at 50% full vaxed (70% Pfizer/Moderna & 30% AZ) and 70% at least one dose.

Currently, they're having 50,000 cases a day, which is like us having 1000+ a day but deaths are equivalent to us having one per day.

Their current rate of covid deaths is actually less than the average flu deaths per year.

Hope it goes well. Goes to show that we good vaccines, even variants shouldn't affect our lives.

Carnival 2022 is back on!

Study shows that the Delta variant likely replicates significantly faster prior to detection:

"The viral loads in the Delta infections were ~1000 times higher than those in the earlier 19A/19B strain infections on the day when viruses were firstly detected"

Viral infection and transmission in a large well-traced outbreak caused by the Delta SARS-CoV-2 variant

Summary

We report the first local transmission of the Delta SARS-CoV-2 variant in mainland China. All 167 infections could be traced back to the first index case. The investigation on daily sequential PCR testing of the quarantined subjects indicated the viral load of the first positive test of Delta infections was ~1000 times higher than that of the 19A/19B strains infections back in the initial epidemic wave of 2020, suggesting the potential faster viral replication rate and more infectiousness of the Delta variant at the early stage of the infection. The 126 high-quality sequencing data and reliable epidemiological data indicated some minor intra-host single nucleotide variants (iSNVs) could be transmitted between hosts and finally fixed in the virus population during the outbreak.

the UK government keeping there promise about freedom day may also have to do with the backlash they were getting from the ex-Minister of Health's actions. They seem to be u-turning when they met with significant backlash. For instance, Boris was going to use a loophole to allow ministers to avoid quarantine if the NHS covid app pinged them. Then he quickly uturned when faced with the barrage of angry social media posts. If it wasn't for Hancock's actions i think they woulda postpone freedom day again. But British people are having enough. I think before freedom day happened Britain had several anti-lockdown protests. With some cops getting injured as well.

^ why u on my case so clone 99. Cause i make out that you was in love with a prostitute?

This is going to be be their biggest mistake yet as the virus will have a breeding ground, no mask wearing , no protocols, let's see what happens in two months. Covid will never go away if people continue to pretend it doesn't exist.

I think the sentiment in the UK from is that most people are happy about Freedom day. Of course Labour wants it to all backfire and blame Boris, but I I don't see this as misstep.

They are clearly using the right data and that is vaccines are working, we can now go back to normal.

Let's move away from the UK political shenanigans and look at it this way. The UK is doing the world a huge favour by experimenting with full restriction removals for the public.

It's summer, there's lots of immunity either vaccine or natural....I think come August/Sept they'll all release Freedom day was a good move.

UK's prediction......pretty sure this is wrong.

Nah bro, UK was already open for months now. Only thing this does is remove the need to wear it indoors (like groceries) and in public transport and allow for nightclubs to reopen.

I am not saying that this is a misstep. Like you I want this to work as the reality is that covid is here to stay and countries have to learn to live with it. My point is that the UK government keeping freedom day was not just down to vaccinations but also due to the backlash from their own health minister violating covid rules (which propagated the 'one rule for us and another for them' contempt).

way too early to say carnival 2022 is on. we no where near 50% fully vaxxed and we have the less efficacious sinopharm which makes up a much higher % of all vaccines in use, perhaps higher than seychelles.

in the short tern im hoping that newly WHO-approved drug IL6 reduces the CFR.

also 1 death per day is still more than our flu deaths- at least the 2019-2020 flu season only had 41 deaths as far as i remember.

our restrictions are linked to hospital capacity as well, not just deaths. sinopharm will reduce that by 79% but this is among the vaxxed. how many elderly and NCD patients have been vaxxed? im surprised they just decided to let any person 18+ to get it now- they should still be prioritizing those ppl ,at least for the next month or so. this would rapidly bring down hospitalizations long before herd immunity and allow some safe reopening

^who has data on the IL6 blockers. it's very useful but not magic.

https://www.who.int/news/item/06-07-202 ... ase-access

Patients severely or critically ill with COVID-19 often suffer from an overreaction of the immune system, which can be very harmful to the patient’s health. Interleukin-6 blocking drugs – tocilizumab and sarilumab – act to suppress this overreaction.

The prospective and living network meta-analyses showed that in severely or critically ill patients, administering these drugs reduce the odds of death by 13%, compared to standard care. This means that there will be 15 fewer deaths per thousand patients, and as many as 28 fewer deaths for every thousand critically ill patients. The odds of mechanical ventilation among severe and critical patients are reduced by 28%, compared with standard care. This translates to 23 fewer patients out of a thousand needing mechanical ventilation.

should be interesting to see us vs Jamaica on that. Jamaica hasn't approved Sinopharm at all and is putting all their eggs into the African J&J (same arrangement as the J&J we expecting).

so CFR of 2% should reduce by about 13% then

may help to reduce ICU beds occupied

Carnival 2022 is on help with the help of the Chinese vaccines. You see how happy people are that they getting to travel to the country of their birth after 18 months or they getting to buy food through curbside pickup. You could imagine the kinda thanks and praise Rowley and pnm would get for having a carnival. All them ministers and hinds, trotman and Richards would be playing with them.
