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

[bluefete]

Some people who "panic bought" now want to return some of the stuff . Pricesmart said no way are they refunding anyone. Keep your stocks for yourself.

The people who could have afforded to panic buy, bought. The rest of the country waiting on pay.

pricesmart was normal yesterday
did not look like any panic buying

How is the lines at supermarkets, pricesmart now? Are there still crowds of people at these places? Or things settled down now?

These addresses need to be direct, concise and to the point. All this fluff they does bury the information in is frustrating.... please tell your peeps.

Also Deyalsingh has the most annoying voice known to mankind. Its like a high pitch whine.... like the lady from The Nanny!

[Miktay]

Chump still calling it the Chinese Virus.

Trump iza divisive person....but...

People still calling the 1918 influenza Pandemic as the “Spanish” flu...even though it likely originated in Kansas...and China has referred to MERS as the “African” virus...

So I dunno what all the virtue signaling hullabaloo iz all about...

[shake d livin wake d dead]

I have no problem with daily updates etc....my problem is people who can't talk and operate like they got their doctorate by the fcking roadside. Did you listen to Dr. Teelucksingh on CNC3 last night?? Now that was something I could listen to. Compare that to that Trotman lady......catch meh drift

No problem with helping refugees eh, but NOT at the expense of tax paying citizens.

You could imagine the hell that would break loose if locals were denied access to healthcare and found out it's because José and Juanita (among others) occupying beds? Actually this could be another reason the authorities are trying their damnedest to conceal identities of the infected. They do not want the obligation of revealing information that could precipitate trouble.

While we hope the Government has a handle on this thing locals need to be realistic. If Sh!tkicker and dem couldn't stop the illegal inflow under "normal circumstances" how can any reasonable person expect them to do better now?

People, prepare allyuhself...

The 1918 flu pandemic virus was identified in Kansas but was still almost certainly from China. Data from DNA analysis identifies the H1N1 2009 flu virus as being a mutation of the 1918 flu virus.

These viruses simply exhibit widespread reemergence when mutations occur or the population loses sufficient suppression immunity.

---------------------

Historian Christopher Langford has shown that China suffered a lower mortality rate from the Spanish flu than other nations did, suggesting some immunity was at large in the population because of earlier exposure to the virus.

In the new report, Humphries finds archival evidence that a respiratory illness that struck northern China in November 1917 was identified a year later by Chinese health officials as identical to the Spanish flu.

He also found medical records indicating that more than 3,000 of the 25,000 Chinese Labor Corps workers who were transported across Canada en route to Europe starting in 1917 ended up in medical quarantine, many with flu-like symptoms.

Hello Hydroep,

I understand your concerns, but it is in the wrong direction, if you can permit me to explain.

T&T is a loving and giving country, an example being our masks offering to China. We made our supply short to help another at the expense of the tax payers, likewise for refugees.

Covid19 has no race, colour, religion or nationality.
In this crisis, humanity and togetherness is our weapon against this virus. We cannot argue about who gets treatment or a bed. If a Venezuelan is in need of health care, then we as a people must help them.

Remember, hard times will have its ups and downs, but our heart should always remain the same.

Your post is very humanitarian, BUT, Trinis will be Trinis, and even the most liberal non-xenophobe is going to have a fit when he, or a relative is ill and cannot get treatment. Then the issues about their non-payment of any taxes, health surcharge etc. is bound to rear up. That is just human nature

Italy is a bit of an outlier as they have the 2nd oldest population in the world. Still high though.

Italy has one of the oldest populations in the world. They also weren't testing much at first and it quickly got out of control.

Also much like trinis, no one obeyed the social distancing measures and mask/glove wearing, lastly there's a very touchy close culture in Italy and a lot of crowded cities.

Don't think we'll face it as bad as Italy, but it will be bad still.
