Trump announces WHO funding is suspended:

The United States is suspending funding to the World Health Organization while the Trump administration studies what Donald Trump called the group's "disasterous" role in "covering up" the outbreak of the coronavirus in China, the president announced Tuesday evening.

"The reality is the WHO failed to obtain, vet and share information in a timely fashion," Mr Trump said. "The WHO failed in its basic duty and must be held accountable."

I now see him ranting on the news about how he have release papers and they saying the test is positive (mistake ) and he don't have no Corona and they stinking up he name all over Trinidad.
It wasn't he (and his son ) who say he did a test and he have it ?

Roughly 40 people die from the flu annually locally and it's mainly between Sept to April.

The flu can be bad, for me I've gotten the flu at least 3 times and one time it was especially bad, worse than when I had dengue.

It's extremely hard to say whether this was Covid. We can't trust the Chinese, but from all accounts the moment it arrives in a country it takes about a 1-2 months to ramp up to huge numbers.

In a couple months, antigen tests should be available and you can find out whether you've had it or not.

This dude was on live and his behavior was maximum Hen. I seriously hope the police can charge his ass for breaching the quarantine when he returned from Miami. He gets away with literal murder each time he does sheit.

Queen Ian got released today.

Is this the second wave of COVID-19 for TnT?
I remember hearing about people dying from the flu around Mid-January 2020. I am also hearing that doctors are claiming that there was a spike in flu cases late last year.
BTW, this is not a claim I am making, just asking a question based on information I got from reliable persons.

I was in Miami in November and while there I had ague , fever, serious breathing problems and had to be hospitalised when I returned to Trinidad at the end of November . I was on antibiotics and IV for more than a week . The first one didn't work and they had to use Zithromax before I got any relief . The first doctor I saw on my return said it was pneumonia . You have me wondering now what it really was .

dan last year oct nov & dec i was in nj, pennsylvania & miami and i got a kinda fever that just came on suddenly, no cold, sore throat nothing

never got a fever like that before, very high temp & extremely weakening
and as fast as it came it just left :/

I didn't want to say anything in the beginning but around christmas of last year I came down with "something" you all described and lasted three weeks. Fever, chills, dry cough until i lost my voice, and using cough medicines like bronchosolvin and covonia that didn't work. Also used chloraspetic and Decatylen lozenges which didn't work either. Next thing i knew, the "flu" left me with an infection in my upper throat and eustachian tube. Last time i was sick like that was when I got Chikungunya in late 2014 and even that didn't stay long on me. I doubt it was covid-19 but a rhinovirus instead. I might never know.

I've heard people and docs say that something popped up in Nov-Dec last year but didn't put much thought into it until this covid really began to hit home in T&T. It is being said that the first case of the coronavirus was discovered in November according to China government records (lol) which means this began circulating sometime in October.

But is not only us that mentioned it:

Is he not now supposed to be transferred to a 'step-down' facility?

[hydroep]

Well, there are claims that the 'Wuhan' Health Organization's Director General is a puppet of the CCP and in trying to protect China's reputation has plunged the world into chaos.

So Trump's move isn't surprising but it did come a little earlier than expected. One would think his decision is based on some hard facts because it will be scrutinized thoroughly...

Doesnt seem so...he still ranting like ah beyotch

[nismotrinidappa]

25th December the man good.. before end of year he dead.... doubt that the normal flu

[ST Auto]

Take a read

[pugboy]

What is the policy for going to a step down facility ?

Initially they say once you clear your positive test by 14 days and 2 negative tests a day apart you good to go home.
There many like Ian who there 20 days now, maybe they still weak and they dont want to release them.

Ian like he want to be discharged bad.

Coming to think of it... I was in Orlando last November 25th and got a very bad flu, fever, fatigue etc. Ended up with a serious chest pain when coughing.... had real mucus. When I came back home I literally had to push my hand down my throat and pull out a handful of green mucus... in order to breathe

[The_Honourable]

So basically he was tested negative, given discharge papers and when he was about to leave, Carpha say he has been tested positive and that he have to sign a form acknowledging the result?

[MaxPower]

Totally unacceptable behavior.

As i said numerous times, Covid 19 will not change the Trinidadian mentality.

Yeah I know it gross.... strange thing is that before that bout of flu I didn't get the flu in about 5 years. Year after year everybody in the office the family etc etc get the flu and I get none. Then jusso this take me down...

I have a personal prevention though... not sure if it worth salt but here goes... when I feel a little sore throat coming on i make a tin of Brunswick sardines with LEVEL Congo Pepper, Plenty Raw Onion, Bandania and Tomatoes.... squeeze a half lime in it. Eat that down and wash it down with a glass of Redoxon and sleep for a 10 hours. When I get up I good as new....

Blasted flu catch me last year cause I was abroad...

When you think Gerald Ramdeen couldn't go any lower than still trying to represent a dead client and prison gate he outdoes himself by trying to be a savior for having people positive with covid 19 released from the facility that quarantines and treats them before they get better.
How are we even at this point?

Updated: Ian Alleyne 'discharged' but kept at Caura Hospital
Dareece Polo Created : 14 April 2020
COVID-19

Updated at 7.25 pm on April 14, 2020

Defence attorney and former United National Congress (UNC) Senator Gerald Ramdeen has written a pre-action protocol letter to the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) demanding the release of Ian Alleyne.

Alleyne, the host of the popular television programme Crime Watch, was quarantined at the Caura Hospital on March 24, 2020, after testing positive for COVID-19.

Ramdeen said his client was tested on March 21, 2020, after he insisted on being sampled following his recent trip to Miami. However, Alleyne had failed to self-isolate for the 14-day period as advised by the Government on his return.

The lawyer said Alleyne was subsequently contacted by the Minister of Health who told him police was being sent to arrest him. The television host then reached out to his attorney and vowed to comply with the instructions given by Deyalsingh and the CMO.

In petitioning for his release, the attorney said Alleyne was tested on four separate occasions while at the Caura Hospital. The first was inconclusive, second positive and last two negative.

"On 29th March, 2020 my client was tested for the presence of the virus Covid-19. On the 31st March, 2020 my client was informed that the test that was taken was compromised. No explanation was provided to my client as to how this was possible."

"On the 8th April, 2020 my client was the subject of another test for the presence of the Covid-19 virus. My client was informed on the 9th April 2020 that the result of the test was that my client was positive. My client requested to have sight of the test results and was informed that the results were always oral."

"On 11th April, 2020 my client was the subject of another test for the presence of the Covid-19 virus. On the 13th April, 2020 my client was informed that the result of the test was negative. On the said 13th April 2020 my client was administered another test for the presence of the Covid-I9 virus. My client was informed today that the result of that test was negative."

According to guidelines from the World Health Organisation (WHO) a clinically recovered COVID-19 patient should test negative for the virus twice, with tests conducted at least 24 hours apart before being discharged from the hospital.

Speaking with Loop News, Ramdeen confirmed his client received release forms after the issuance of the pre-action protocol letter. He also revealed that two other pre-action letters were sent, including one on behalf of a minor, to the CMO and the Director of the Caura Hospital. The lawyer further stated that the Ministry of Health has no lawful authority to hold people at the facility once they test twice negative for COVID-19.

Despite receiving discharge papers, Alleyne remains at the facility.

ramdeen saves!!!! he is risen!!!!
