How did Ian get his test results the same day? In LA, it currently take days to get your results back.

I feel like he’s faking it for attention.

steups. Kamla mc and she games. Even if it is true, who the firetruck is she? She is a doctor ent? She is the CMO. She is the Minister of Health. She supposed to make these announcements right, and start a panic riot.

Stupid nasty ole political mc.

Yeah she should have given them some time to sanitize the information and create a story to go with the death.... like some underlying health complication or something

[j.o.e]

Lack of decency..... KPB is no different to the people who run to social media to buss the file first. No concern for family of the victim or the national psyche. She always shows that she lacks statesmanship in key moments.

An antibody test has arrived in the UK...

Coronavirus test: UK to make 15-minute at-home kits available 'within days'

New 15-minute home test kits for coronavirus will be made available to the British public within days, said a Public Health England (PHE) director.

Thousands of tests will be sold in chemists such as Boots or delivered by Amazon to people with symptoms who are self-isolating as soon as next week.

Professor Sharon Peacock, director of the national infection service at PHE, told MPs on the science and technology committee that once the tests are cleared, they will be "distributed to the community".

Matt Hancock, the health secretary, said the government bought millions of the tests on Tuesday and is ordering millions more.

The antibody test involves pricking a finger and analysing a drop of blood in a device that looks like a pregnancy test. It will only tell the person if they have had Covid-19, not if they currently have it.

The test will detect the presence of the antibodies IGM, which emerges in the early stages of infection, and IGG, which increases during the body's response to the virus.
Ms Peacock said the tests would "absolutely" be available within days, rather than weeks or months, when asked by MPs.

She said: "Several million tests have ben purchased for use. These are brand new products. We have to be clear they work as they are claiming to do.
"Once they have been tested this week and the bulk of tests arrive, they will be distributed into the community.

Kamla trying to stay relevant now. No election events have she confused no tail.

I do agree with her that we should have an actual, *official* lockdown instead of the halfway thing going on now. I just pass in the mall, place half empty but nowhere near shut down.

i doh think u have to report it to WHO- there is a 'Report coronavirus cases' option above the table- it brings up a form where perhaps anyone can enter info, they just have to put a URL as a source- and this is perhaps it: https://www.cnc3.co.tt/kamla-announces-first-covid-19-death-at-couva-hospital/

yeah all malls or mall stores should be shut except for essential stores like supermarkets & pharmacies

actually the game is chess,not checkers. Imagine trying to bring back the economy after this sheit show, no way am i endorsing or defending her here,just stating facts from a political point of view

[redmanjp]

cnc3 just confirm the death on tv

[Dizzy28]

Worldometer probably uses software to scan global news and flag announcements in new cases and deaths . That's how alot of those online databases gather info. The death was on CNC which would be good enough to count as confirmed
