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

[adnj]

the next wave coinciding with carnival, just like last time so little can be done

Global infections started to climb at the beginning of November; deaths started to climb at the beginning of December.

Trinidad is supposedly already in an increase in infections along with an associated increase in deaths that will last into February. Severity is expected to be about the same as the pre-delta September 2021 wave.

calling out gulf city for not having sanitizer in the dispenser

big mall spending millions on live entertainment but playing cheap with sanitizer

Well sanitizer was never really law just recommended. If the main barrier to spread which is masks are gone sanitizer wont do much as the virus is mostly spread via droplets during face to face contact.

1st update for the year - how could active cases be less than new cases? i though new case were included?

[sMASH]

If the rolling average is 35, even if u use the lower figure of the total cases, it means we have a lot of new cases at the end of that 7 day period compared to the first days.

Like a spike, or a sudden increase in data collection.

This is the spirit. Covid NOTHING

This what what they are NOT telling people. And Keithos coming to host press conference at 12 noon, to scare people more (maybe).

It is like Omicron - contagious but not deadly and very mild (unless you are co-morbited).

^ keep in mind it's covid severity it helps with.Not necessarily mild infection. Or transmission to others. So it's not a substitute for masking for instance.

That's the Vax u taking bout?

Tbh can't really blame people for saying such if they're fully vaccinated. I was in a similar situation last year wrt work. After being forced to vaccinate or lose my job they were telling workers if you get sick you still have to stay home although it's now a safe zone. Basically saying I'm FULLY vaccinated but could still get covid and pass it on to other people who are also FULLY vaccinated even though all the unvaccinated were already fired. Righttttttt.
Good for them, I wasn't staying home to lose pay, they can't have it both ways.

The State is still owed $26 million in fines for breach of mask regulations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Guardian Media learned that only $1,441,000 of the $27 million-plus expected fines from the tickets issued has ended up in the State’s coffers.

That used to be a thinly veiled woman watcher thread and tuner demographics change. We left with a bunch of fellas who mouth does water when they hear trump name calling.

ah fark. chupid me went outside the saharan dust maskless for a couple hours on Sunday. now 99°F, chills, fatigue and sore throat. i look for dat

[maj. tom]

So anybody has more info on the Covid boosters being rolled out right now? The flyers on the Ministry's releases don't give any info beyond where to get them. Are they the new bivalent batch from Moderna and Pfizer for the 2023 season released last October in USA? Or are they old batches from Sinopharm and J&J? I'm not sure that the latter two even developed a new bivalent seasonal one? What would be the point of boosting now with the old 2021 batch formula?

Get tested. I had the same symptoms yesterday …. Tested positive today. It finally got me. It feels like a typical trini virus. Already feeling better.

Aye j.o.e, sorry to hear man. Glad you feeling better.

How is everyone else doing? Remember to be hygienic at all times. No mask? Fine. If you must cough or sneeze, contain it and be sure to wash your hands regular. Remember, you will get Covid if someone else is inconsiderate.
