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

Is how Pricemart have employees outside wiping down people trolleys...

Very good but....

Using the same STINK cloth?

I am happy those who never saw it, now seeing why my approach is always harsh and intolerable towards Trinis.

I not sure what you saw or where, but last I saw at PoS pricesmart the attendant was using a paper towel and discarded it after each use.

At this time to contain the spread we need some harsh limitations in place. Clearly Trinis only obey things such as soe's.

At this time the way I see it, it's just a question of time for T&T as well as almost every other country with 50+ cases (if you want to wait so late) to declare a SOE.

Omeara..

They must have the commercial wipe tubs at the entrances and make it mandatory to wipe carts before and after use.

Chaguanas Pricesmart was using paper towels and had a hand sanitizer station at the entrance. The attendant was suggesting that you use the hand sanitizer, but I more feel they woulda get on if you didn't. Which is fine, given our harden mentality.

But nearly all 49 of the cases were intercepted due to policies other than an soe,and they have clearly worked..

And that 40 was from one successful exercise alone ,and all were imported. .I dont know if you know but most at risk places have been ordered closed btw..

Call them and tell them declare an soe then nah..I don't think we should yet..

Venezuela now has 65 cases, up 21 from 44 yesterday.
Eyes open people.

If, or when a SOE is to be in effect, it good for allyuh Trinis.

You all were given the opportunity to make this right and to work together as a team.

You all have proven to the govt of T&T and the very few genuine citizens your true Trinidadian colors.

You all gave the government no choice to act as they could not stop emphasizing on irresponsible behavior......irresPonsible.

So if the country is to be lock down, do not cry and whine and complain.

You all have caused this upon yourselves and unfortunately it affects everyone.

Sadly, when this is over, (and i say when because it will be over but with serious ketch ass), Trinidadians will go back to their old nasty ways as this will not be the wake up call we’ve been waiting for.

Oops did i say go back to old nasty ways? Sorry they never left.

[Dave]

I absolutely agree with you and applaud that it has worked this far but the few who were on air planes and interacted with unknowing citizens and then these social mingling happening at churches, supermarkets and other scenarios is what I am getting at.

Italy just had 723 deaths. Largest number so far. Yikes.

[Dizzy28]

Anybody know How any of the Pricemsart looking? Haven't gone since before Carnival but may need to make a run now.

[maj. tom]

Just came out of Pricesmart Chaguanas. It has a lot of people. Going in there was hand sanitizer and some people squeezing 5, 6 times like they dey going to scrub dey buttomhole with it. The line up took about half hour and more people were coming in. They announcing social distancing over the PA system and most people either don't understand this concept, or are complete jackasses who feel they immune.

If you going i suggest you walk with a mop handle to ensure your distance. I feel this is what i gonna do from now, and crack it on some of dem muddac:nt retards' head when they come too close. This just rel pissing me off right now how the true behaviour of most Trini people are exposed like this. Set of f(cking stink, disgusting, selfish shithong all over our society.

Tobago's beach facilities have been closed from today

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

German Bank announced that Germany will head into the worst recession since WW2 due to this virus.

Italy is a very very advanced first world country with one of the best health care out there and now it is on the brink of collapse. And yet Trinis refuse to see how serious this matter is and its social distancing they rather panic buy and kill their family when they reach home and bring the virus after they touch everybody and everything with their clothes, bags, hands etc and go home with it.

The fact that certain countries like South Korea and Singapore has this under control means literally nothing for the rest of the world, the culture of people in those countries are far different. Not even America is capable of dealing with this thing.

China is ultimately to blame in the very end but blaming them won't help us.

As I see it this could get so bad places like Brazil will horde all the rice for themselves and we will get problems getting food in this country as everywhere shuts down. Unless this thing ends soon we in serious trouble we could wake up one morning and see our currency collapse and everything lost.

Yet some bars remain open, Trinis shoving and touching eachother cramped up in groceries, this isn't over after this rounds tho, another virus a worse one than this will come and the world still wouldn't be prepared.

I can tell you, and again let your AATT peeps pull back the cameras, to see the hundreds of people that came in without being scanned.

So unfair to the people who really practice good hygiene and social distancing to be discomforted by establishments that are not practicing Covid19 measures.

And this is the very unfortunate situation. You and I guard ourselves but others who don't and somehow intercept our path and share their germs.
