Tomorrow go be 2 years since we first went into the lockdown.

Lock down after holding carnival, and reopen just in time to parade for elections

[drchaos]

Quarantine requirements still in place AFAIK.

Thats only if you dotish enough to do a PCR test ...

Do an antigen test like the rest of us.

Until a couple days ago, a PCR test was required to enter the country.
You didn't have a choice.

Daily global COVID deaths are expected to surge in June. The cause of the surge is almost exclusively due to deaths reported in China.

[redmanjp]

u mean the deaths are evidence of a surge?

is there any additional benefit from a 2nd booster dose 6 mths after the 1st booster? for someone with diabetes & hypertension

The only person that can tell you that is the person's regular doctor, based on history, present medical conditions, physical conditions etc.

Reddit and TriniTuner . If the country hasn’t officially announced this then you hold on for that protocol . The patient could have an ecog score of 1 or 4 so they need specific advise from their doctor. Did more people decide to get a specific general practitioner after all of this COVID scene . We all mention servicing our cars but not our bodies on a regular schedule

Some people in this country don't service their car until it experiences some sort of critical failure.

deaths for the past week: 2 vaxxed 22 unvaxxed/not fully vaxxed

would be interested to know if those 2 vaxxed got the booster if they were eligible - my guess is no. only about 20% of vaxxed got it.

T&T is about to enter April 2022 with Covid19 stats which strongly indicate that we are in promising times.
With daily infections down from a high of 1200 to 300 approx. and deaths down from a high of 37 to 5 approx. our circumstances are clearly hopeful in terms of negative pandemic exposures.
Sadly, most of our citizens need to pick-up the pieces of our lives and come to terms with coping with the physical, material, financial and emotional impact of 2 years of pain.
The faces we see daily now are etched with disorientation and pain suffered so far and we all must give each other room, support and understanding to heal.
At times like these angry out-burst are not uncommon and must be guarded against.
Go easy folks and lets rebound.

COVID left people in financial dire straits.

On the way to pricesmart over the weekend I noticed many women (locals and Venezuelan) with handwritten begging signs at the side of the road. Usually encountered one sad story/useless vendor item in pricesmart parking lot before covid- got approached by 5 this weekend.

Meanwhile another sector of the population can't wait to start their boat rides and parties. So it not so bad

What about the other sector who's against removal of restrictions because of the next variant and China having an upsurge and yada yada? I have yet to hear a single mother or KFC worker saying lets keep restrictions or its too soon to reopen the economy

Their line of thinking has two options: enjoy yourself and suffer or just suffer. They can't imagine picking theyself up becauase they so deep in sheit already and know they only have down to go before it ends.

No more safe zones

[pugboy]

hindsight said to expect more crime since last year

who is dire straits? look around and see construction going on despite high material prices, new cars on the road every day, groceries full, banks full come month end, lines outside some stores like digicel, flow etc, you still seeing people buying breakfast and lunch everyday, kfc still full, doubles men still selling out so who in dire straits? them beggars begging cause that is their WUK. fork away with them. i ask one a time for a lil BJ if she want a lil change and she cuss me. if she so desperate she will make money by any means necessary.

When you work back through the events and fog of lies, it should have been declared endemic 6-8 months ago

[redmanjp]

u even know the meaning of the word?

6-8 months included our entire delta wave when at 1 point 30-40 ppl per day were dying

[sMASH]

Aye, take the vaccine, it prevents u from catching, suffering from and spreading the disease
