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

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

is covid really that bad? I've been told it is mild, by both vaxx and unvaxx persons that recovered

Also talk to people who have been hospitalized.
Depends on how your body deals with it.

so how burkie ded?

watch the 'First Wave' documentary on CNC3, see how 'mild' it is. and that is the wuhan strain- the delta strain worse even for younger healthier ppl and children

[drchaos]

the malone chap does not appear to be the sole mrna inventor and he has a checkered record
kinda reminds me of phillip alexander esteemed epidemiologist brother

Yup anyone that doesn't fall in-line with the main narrative is a fraud and should not be taken seriously despite their education and achievements in the field that they are supposed to be experts in.

Only listen to approved sources of info guys, forget anything else.

sure, but I've been talking to people in worse health than me (and unvaccinated to boot) that got covid and they are telling me it's mild. When I go on about how much money I spent on masks, precautions, etc, it makes me sound insane because they did between jack and shiet to avoid covid, caught covid, and nothing happened. It makes me feel like I am completely overreacting.

I would watch that film, but at the same time, I understand that focusing on the small percentage that do end up in hospital (and further focus on the ones the filmmaker would want to highlight for their agenda) would give an unrealistic idea of what the virus really is like.

tl:dr: it's mild, apparently.

[pugboy]

lol
you ain’t talk to anybody whose relative died?
troll on

[redmanjp]

its about 10-20% of all cases that end up in hospital. that's not a small %. but that % does go down in populations which are largely vaccinated. not just health or age, but variant, vax status and perhaps even the viral load u are exposed to determines the severity.

Co morbidities and lifestyle has a part to play in it as well, long term smokers and drinkers have compromised immune systems. I know unvaxxed persons who don't even have a large intake of water on a daily basis ,eat junk and drink sugary drinks everyday caught covid not once but twice and all they got was diarrhea

If that's what you got from the 3hrs you've missed a ton.

You have to do whatever you believe is needed to keep you safe and if it includes all of the above I fully respect that. I just wish society would also respect those of us who don't feel the need to wear a full space suit every time we leave the house. I mean if one is protecting himself by wearing the latest M ninety whatever mask should is really matter to him what the next guy is wearing

Leave beliefs for religion.
Medical science has no room for belief

Because the risk is greatly reduced when both people wear a mask.


Science or Covid doesn’t care what or how you feel.

[MaxPower]

Two years into a pandemic and people still cannot understand this.

Jezus crice this is elementary level understanding.

Looks like I have Omicron, tested positive today with an antigen tests. Going for a PCR later, but pretty sure it is as the precision in these antigen tests are 99%.

Almost sure it's Omicron as my friend who learned he had, had delta just 2 months prior. So that's the good news.

So far it feels like a mild cold, no bad symptoms at all. Just a runny nose, slight sore throat and a little tired.

Also it's unbelievable how contagious this virus is, I passed by him to collect something, we chatted outside the car for like 2 mins while we both wore masks.

Where you pick it up bro?
You breach the protocols?

[hover11]

Unless the CMO calls and says you have omicron you can't state that

[Dohplaydat]

I said it's likely Omicron as the person I got it from had delta just 2 months prior. It would be very unlikely he would have been reinfected with Delta again.

Nope, we both wore masks and the interaction was outdoor and short.

Now it could also be possible I got Massy or Unipet or from Christmas.

But no one I saw over the weekend is positive or has any symptoms.

I saw this guy on Wednesday and last night started to get a sore throat. No fever at all. Seems milder than most colds so far. My friend has a bit worse he has had on and off fever for 4 days now.

[hover11]

Just received news Kenny J just passed due to covid he was fully vaccinated

[Redress10]

DPD

Ent you went and lime all over for xmas?

So you finally get a positive covid tests but without any sort of sequencing you are claiming to have Omicron.

Hoss...ease we up nah.

Just say ya test positive and done. Ease up ya friends to as you can't confirm where you get a virus that is as contagious as covid from. Not having any symptoms is not a sign that those people are not infected especially if they have been vaccinated etc.

Ensure u have an oxy meter, non contact thermometer

For the football enthusiasts.
Messi has COVID-19 also.

What type of mask had on?

[pugboy]

how are you sure it is 0micron when your friend whom you say you had contact with was delta?

DPD,

Sorry to hear.

Social distancing is important and you have been around bro.

Happy recovery and stay home to stay safe.

new preprint dropped
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101 ... 21268565v1

Conclusions
Two doses of COVID-19 vaccines are unlikely to protect against Omicron infection. While VE against
Omicron infection is substantially lower than against Delta infection, a third dose of mRNA vaccine
affords some level of protection against Omicron infection in the immediate term. However, the
duration of this protection and effectiveness against severe disease are uncertain. Additional tools
beyond the currently available vaccines, such as public health measures, antivirals, and updated
vaccines, are likely needed to protect against Omicron infection.

He just assuming that based on the initial symptoms, the next 7 days can possibly determine which variant based on symptoms etc
based on my estimated period( 10th-14th) of getting the infection and symptoms( high fever, body/joint pains, insane coughing...., its a good change i had the delta variant

He had a n95 and I had a surgical.

Fellas I not saying it's 100% Omicron, just saying it's likely as he had Covid 2.5 months ago (which was likely delta or p1). Meaning a delta or p1 reinfection would be quite unlikely.

I honestly can't say it's him I got it from, but no one from any of the limes I went over the weekend have tested positive or shown any symptoms..... So far

[Dizzy28]

DPD is not the person adamant he had Covid in 2020 without ever testing?
