Yuh fren is a fag? Why he run for? Right he is bad man and want to break the law? He should have stood up to them and tell them that his civil liberties are being violated and they could go eff themselves.

I mean Daz their job eh...but 8 heavily armed police in 2 vehicles to stop a man from bathing in the beach in a secluded area

Do you really think that they were patrolling only to see the law breaking beach bathers? They could not be just on a general patrol for any other law breaking activities, for example, illegal drug shipments coming up on the coastline?

In my opinion, the TTPS should have shot your friend for being a fag and running away.

He was drunk and high out of his mind lol.
And I feel the marine patrol was out calling them in because every time someone went in the water from any house near to us..Police show up a 20 mins later.

What does it mean then when, at present, bathing in beaches and rivers is illegal?

TTPS should have shot yuh fren for (1) being a fag and running away and (2) for not being able to hold his alcohol.

Lambda variant shows vaccine resistance - study

By REUTERS   

AUGUST 2, 2021

The Lambda variant of the coronavirus, first identified in Peru and now spreading in South America, is highly infectious and more resistant to vaccines than the original version of the virus the emerged from Wuhan, China, Japanese researchers have found. 

In a paper posted on Wednesday on bioRxiv ahead of peer review, the researchers warn that with Lambda being labeled a "Variant of Interest" by the World Health Organization, rather than a "Variant of Concern," people might not realize it is a serious ongoing threat. 

In laboratory experiments, they found that three mutations in Lambda's spike protein, known as RSYLTPGD246-253N, 260 L452Q and F490S, help it resist neutralization by vaccine-induced antibodies.

in other countries the AG would have had to resign for talking untruths, other ministers would have had to resign for not bring the cases down to 15 a day after all the fan fare about it. but here they skin and grin and bully the citizens and business as normal.
