They went and do private antigen tests at around 11 am and got results 30 mins later. Husband positive wife negative
As they needed proper quarantine letters for work they went straight to st Joseph health center and did pcr tests and got their 14 days quarantine papers
Today st Joseph send them their results. Both positive. Extra 6 days quarantine.

So the antigen would have given the wife a false negative?

Yup that’s what I mentioned earlier don’t trust those antigen tests so much especially if symptoms are present . If you are asymptomatic and need it for travel , etc it’s alright but as in this anecdote you see what happened

It hard to imagine that a husband tests positive and the wife tests negative, if they sleep in the same bed and share the same space. That's why I have been saying ppl who are positive and live with others in small spaces should be tested and quarantined as well but antigen are less reliable they are the cheaper and inefficient method PCR are more accurate and more expensive, that's why private institutions are marketing them to get the ppl who don't want to jump out the dust for a PCR

The majority of persons dieing are the elderly.
Are the doctors choosing to let them die over others that are worth saving?

Locally? I think so, probably definitely he/she had some comorbidities (not trying to downplay this but if yuh child normal you don't have anything to worry about).

Middle age is typically 35-59 right? Lots of here fall into the bracket.
What can we expect going forward?
More deaths, more cases ....continue the same thing and expecting different results. We didn't have personal responsibility a year ago or two lockdowns ago we will have it now lol ok then

Yet you are against vaccines

Duane what I am against is taking something that I have to continue taking every 6 months or else I'm an open target.....make a vaccine that last for 5 or 10 years then we have no problem

Please expand on choosing ? Unplug ventilator you mean ? Or the things we knew from since early 2020 that older persons had a higher mortality risk ?

On the other side of the parallel health care system...your age and co morbidities have an influence whether you can be a candidate for ICU , the older you are and more ailments you suffer from you would NOT be selected for ICU care atm.....first hard experience , words from a doctor at Mt hope General when checking on a family member

My wife tested positive last week and I tested negative a few day later. PCR tests only.

I slept one night in the same bed with her when she had symptoms then as a precaution switched rooms thereafter before going for testing.

It happens.

It’s just to one when to use it basically . But yes routine monitoring it’s alright if you asymptomatic . Even pcr needs to be done about 5 days after symptoms / exposure

Shes by her parents. They have 2 BnB apts she took 1.

Coping is all about adjustment. I working from home and supervising my son with online school. That's the hardest part. Food wise I not picky so making out there. My neighbour dropped 2 bags of market goods last week and 3 bags today so we ok on that front.

My wife say police showed up today to verify she's on quarantine. First time it happen. They asked her to come to a window and wave.

I got my quarantine letter Friday. Before that was just the generic one from St Joseph health centre.

How you know she making mad money now? What do you define as "mad money"? You think people who have money and come from money actually work in the public sector? You are terribly mistaken. Anyone working in the public sector needs that job. Don't be fooled.
It's 5 boards she on excluding her current role in the health sector which makes it 6. That's 6 different salary with perks.
She ain't no ordinary Public Official. She high up top.
What value is she bringing to the citizens for receiving all those taxpayers dollars as salary?
How does she even keep up with the demands of those jobs..


Like I said.. jobs for the boys and girls. Taxpayers monies minding them and their children but they quick to call cepep and urp workers "handouts". All of these things are glorified make work schemes. Created and perfected by the PNM.

Whilst the world is creating the likes of Musks etc we have idiots like this one who went medical school but doing everything but practicing medicine. Only in Trinidad doctor will have time to serve on boards of companies that are not health focus. Remember the days when medicine was viewed as a profession by itself and doctors didn't try to become Politicians and members of parliament? What is the point of training a doctor if they just gonna turn around and be a politician? Waste of an education.

She is doing her type of medicine actually . Not all medicine is fully clinical . Not all doctors are surgeons . There are a ton of specialties and besides all them boards you all seeing now she otherwise has her role in the health care systems . You all think Hinds , Parasram and her didn’t have jobs in the health sector before ?


Right but is it that she has become an expert in her field where no more training is required? Seems to me that her roles are political and not based on some sort of specialist expertise that she possesses. She is not a world renowned physician similar to a Bartholonew or a Sawh yet she seems to have been given leadership roles in numerous organisations. This may infact be based on who she knows and is aligned to rather than what she knows.

What I am getting at is even at an individual level, doesn't she want to improve her own medical reputation by publishing studies or research etc. Seems to me that people no longer are interested in pushing their professions forward but seeing how their professions can propel them into politics.


To put it simply, Maryam GT. I'm acquainted with her a bit, she looked basic back in the day and the makeup is overkill but she's got brains and had family support. One of her family members was a Doctor and politically connected *hint hint*. She was already set, so once she got married her life trajectory changed for the positive and to another level.

Some might say she's an overachiever. She went SAGS, got a national schol, became a Doc in Obstetrics, and further graduated with two Masters. She worked in the public health care system and the IDB. She married into the Richards family along the way who is also politically connected *hint hint*. Whether she married for love or upward mobility or both, she made the right move. She has brains and now herself politically connected so yes, she's not no ordinary public official and probably a superstar. Now whether she can practically do the work is another question and it seems that she can. While many knows deep down she can get into positions like state boards with her political connections, she will always have her credentials to back her up and easily claim merit.

Maryam is simply taking advantage of an issue which has plagued us for decades with persons being part of multiple state boards. She's not the first and would not be the last. Hell, if we got the opportunity to be on multiple state boards meaning multiple checks at the end of the month, we would take it. She has the resume and experience to back it up, well at least when it comes to ERHA and NIPDEC. TTBS and Angostura is a bit of an eye opener but you can't really stop that.

How you know she making mad money now? What do you define as "mad money"? You think people who have money and come from money actually work in the public sector? You are terribly mistaken. Anyone working in the public sector needs that job. Don't be fooled.
It's 5 boards she on excluding her current role in the health sector which makes it 6. That's 6 different salary with perks.
She ain't no ordinary Public Official. She high up top.
What value is she bringing to the citizens for receiving all those taxpayers dollars as salary?
How does she even keep up with the demands of those jobs..


Like I said.. jobs for the boys and girls. Taxpayers monies minding them and their children but they quick to call cepep and urp workers "handouts". All of these things are glorified make work schemes. Created and perfected by the PNM.

Whilst the world is creating the likes of Musks etc we have idiots like this one who went medical school but doing everything but practicing medicine. Only in Trinidad doctor will have time to serve on boards of companies that are not health focus. Remember the days when medicine was viewed as a profession by itself and doctors didn't try to become Politicians and members of parliament? What is the point of training a doctor if they just gonna turn around and be a politician? Waste of an education.

She is doing her type of medicine actually . Not all medicine is fully clinical . Not all doctors are surgeons . There are a ton of specialties and besides all them boards you all seeing now she otherwise has her role in the health care systems . You all think Hinds , Parasram and her didn’t have jobs in the health sector before ?


Right but is it that she has become an expert in her field where no more training is required? Seems to me that her roles are political and not based on some sort of specialist expertise that she possesses. She is not a world renowned physician similar to a Bartholonew or a Sawh yet she seems to have been given leadership roles in numerous organisations. This may infact be based on who she knows and is aligned to rather than what she knows.

What I am getting at is even at an individual level, doesn't she want to improve her own medical reputation by publishing studies or research etc. Seems to me that people no longer are interested in pushing their professions forward but seeing how their professions can propel them into politics.


To put it simply, Maryam GT. I'm acquainted with her a bit, she looked basic back in the day and the makeup is overkill but she's got brains and had family support. One of her family members was a Doctor and politically connected *hint hint*. She was already set, so once she got married her life trajectory changed for the positive and to another level.

Some might say she's an overachiever. She went SAGS, got a national schol, became a Doc in Obstetrics, and further graduated with two Masters. She worked in the public health care system and the IDB. She married into the Richards family along the way who is also politically connected *hint hint*. Whether she married for love or upward mobility or both, she made the right move. She has brains and now herself politically connected so yes, she's not no ordinary public official and probably a superstar. Now whether she can practically do the work is another question and it seems that she can. While many knows deep down she can get into positions like state boards with her political connections, she will always have her credentials to back her up and easily claim merit.

Maryam is simply taking advantage of an issue which has plagued us for decades with persons being part of multiple state boards. She's not the first and would not be the last. Hell, if we got the opportunity to be on multiple state boards meaning multiple checks at the end of the month, we would take it. She has the resume and experience to back it up, well at least when it comes to ERHA and NIPDEC. TTBS and Angostura is a bit of an eye opener but you can't really stop that.


She definitely married for upward mobility and not love because her husband has a weird shaped head.

Also when she speaks she seems unaware of what she speaking about. Numerous errors and grammatical errors 8n her presentation.
CMO have more confidence than her when he's giving his update.

Personally, based on my observations,I think deep inside she's an unhappy person. Seems her life turned out the way she didn't want it to. She got all the money and status but she ain't happy.
I don't know if you guys closest to her pick up on this.

My wife say police showed up today to verify she's on quarantine. First time it happen. They asked her to come to a window and wave.

I got my quarantine letter Friday. Before that was just the generic one from St Joseph health centre.

It hard to imagine that a husband tests positive and the wife tests negative, if they sleep in the same bed and share the same space. That's why I have been saying ppl who are positive and live with others in small spaces should be tested and quarantined as well but antigen are less reliable they are the cheaper and inefficient method PCR are more accurate and more expensive, that's why private institutions are marketing them to get the ppl who don't want to jump out the dust for a PCR
Is she in home quarantine or state?

She doesn't work. She's the one with my son during the day with school. So it's a mystery.

However the week with Divali she went by her mother and them a few times. They all fine though.
I also dropped her in Trincity Mall to get some stationary on the Saturday after Divali but it was in and out quickly, so much so I stayed in car and waited. Barely had time to start watching a show on my phone before she was back. That's about it.

Sometimes it does be an unguarded moment , a momentary lapse of not sanitizing or wearing the mask properly. We can't be 100 percent careful

To put it simply, Maryam GT. I'm acquainted with her a bit, she looked basic back in the day and the makeup is overkill but she's got brains and had family support.

Hell, if we got the opportunity to be on multiple state boards meaning multiple checks at the end of the month, we would take it. She has the resume and experience to back it up, well at least when it comes to ERHA and NIPDEC. TTBS and Angostura is a bit of an eye opener but you can't really stop that.

delta changed the rules. even fleeting maskless contact is risky. and this damn thing is airborne so you don't even need to be in the same room to get it.

but I firmly believe the level of viral load at exposure affects how badly you get it. wear a mask (N95) and stay far away from crowds and you cut down a lot on the viral load and even if you pop positive, your body has enough lead time to spin up an immune response and prevent the worst of it.

(death cult people don't care and are in the mall right now maskless eating popcorn and licking ice cream and crowding up for selfie with santa. d santa not even real ffs),
