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

[redmanjp]

That could quickly change when Delta is predominant

I told y'all there isn't going to be any more lockdowns and restrictions. The PM started his speech saying we have to learn to live with the virus and it will be amongst us for a long time. The burden of responsibility will now be on the public to agree to get vaccinated and no more lockdowns and restrictions.

Exactly. The US states with the lowest vax rates are higher than us and their hospitals are full. We will be worst off if Delta is spreading with the low rates we have.

There still won't be anymore lockdowns or restrictions. The PM will come out and say they've done everything, the vaccines are available and the reason why these cases are rising is because people refuse to be vaccinated.

If the healthcare system is put under pressure and becomes overcrowded there may be no choice but to lockdown again.

He was asked by a reporter about that self and he said he can't give any assurances that that will not happen again.

6 deaths.

If the healthcare system is put under pressure and becomes overcrowded there may be no choice but to lockdown again.

The LFD RFD PNM reasoning for all the lockdowns has been potential overload of the H.C system, so let's keep jackarsing the scene, not vaccinating/distancing/washing and go into a perpetual lockdown/ease cycle.

Yea cuz lockdowns only happen in trinidad this PNM Government is the worst

*BREAKING NEWS*

At a Media Conference hosted by the Office of the Prime Minister today (Aug14), the following developments / decisions have been announced:

1. It was revealed that there has been a noticeable increase in infections among children. At present, there are three severely ill children in the system. This makes it all the more important that children get vaccinated at the soonest.

2. By the end of today, Trinidad and Tobago should have 300,000 fully vaccinated citizens. Given the projections that this number will move to 400,000 within the next 7-10 days. That represents roughly 40% of our adult population.

3. Prime Minister Rowley recognized the fact that Trinidad and Tobago has begun to live with the Covid-19 virus. As we vaccinate more, the easier this will be in the future.

4. With over 1.6 million doses received to date, and the announcement of the imminent arrival from Johnson and Johnson shortly, the majority of citizens can now access vaccines with some degree of ease. Citizens are encouraged to take advantage of this at the soonest so that collectively we can starve the virus of hosts.

5. If you have already received a 1st dose, please come out and receive your 2nd dose at your appointed time. You are only fully vaccinated two weeks after receiving both doses.

6. To date, only 50% of the nurses in the public health system have been vaccinated. The Prime Minister is encouraging this group to come forward and do what is needed.

7. In the prisons, 20% of prisoners and 35% of prison officers have been vaccinated. Just 35% of the Defence Force and 43% of police officers have been vaccinated to date. We must do better.

8. The Pfizer Vaccine is the only approved by WHO for use by adolescents. The 305,000 doses received this week are for use in this group before all others. We need to do so expeditiously in order to ensure that classes resume physically in September. This program begins on Monday.

9. The retail sector will open on Monday as planned. With it CEPEP and URP will also be allowed to restart. Also personal care services ie salons, etc from August 23. All are asked to continue to observe all health protocols.

[DMan7]

Dining in services when?

[widdyphuck]

Rowley really mentioned "horny goat weed" in the presser today??????

[hover11]

He said it to make a point , ppl studying the side effects but the best sellers in pharmacies are things that are not even fda approved, yet ppl take them religiously and they are taken with no hesitation

Rowley really mentioned "horny goat weed" in the presser today??????

[aaron17]

Arcoxia rings any bell?

[hover11]

Which leads me to believe the government does not care about our health so many products that are not fda approved, unknown side effects are knowingly sold to the citizens but when it comes to the vaccine ....we care about your health please take the jab

Alot of non fda approved products on our market but then again we are a 3rd world country this is where their products thrive

health care system overloaded as in the normal health care or the parallel covid health care? cause sando, "THE healthcare system" was always overloaded, before covid. days to wait for bed, people lining the corridors.
when other countries showed their covid response in the hospitals, everyone who knows bout sando said that sando is normally like that.

and last year, with how itally and spain were, we needed over 5000 covid spaces to deal with outbreaks on par with those. that 1000+ covid beds they touted, was woefully low, and then with the april vaccine roll out, where they went down to 500 spaces and struggling to find back more spaces... that is simply just under capacity.

other places had higher numbers than us, but

SO yawl can spread it among yourselves and create variants?

Yall need to mask up and sit yuh ass down in yuh forking house and doh ever come out.

[bluefete]

^^ Noticed that as well. But what pissed me off was when I heard on the news that Rowley said children with covid in the hospital were face-timing their parents to tell them good-bye.

Is that Les Couteaux obeah he wukking again?

Is that a scare tactic? Well is now plenty people are not going to let their children take the vaccine.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

That "news" about children in hospital is nonsense. Since last year there has been several children battling the virus. Trying to push an agenda using that narrative is very weak!!

[viedcht]

Maybe this is the depopulation we need. 3-4 yrs of constant Covid & Covid-Plus/variants with global financial instability and hoarding depleting resources, then Global Conflict. When people can't hear, let them feel.

[hover11]

Fear mongering is how you control the masses, the vaccines here so force your child to take it so they don't end up in ICU. So what happens when a child wants to vaccinate but the parents refuse or vice versa or one parent is pro vaccine and the other is anti vaxx lol that is going have a societal fall out.
