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

[adnj]

Max it could be nothing i was feeling the same way this morning, wait a couple days and if it same thing or worse then get tested but it could be nothing sometimes it's just sinus.

I know someone who had high fever 2 weeks ago it lasted 2 days and he good since and he is 60 and he has diabetes so that means he didn't have Covid it was a regular Flu.

I wonder if Flu really going around now? I thought we had eliminated it with all these mask wearing and hand sanitizing.

Symptoms persist 5 to 7 days for the flu.

--------

How long does the flu last?

For most healthy people, the flu is an uncomfortable but short-term illness that resolves itself as the immune system fights it off. Symptoms usually appear from one to four days after exposure to the virus, and they last five to seven days. For people who've had a flu shot, the symptoms may last a shorter amount of time, or be less severe. For other people, the symptoms may last longer. Even when symptoms resolve, you may continue to feel fatigued.

who called you? You should get confirmation about this by calling and emailing the MoH. I would think that they would put this quarantine order in writing by email or paper and deliver it to you.

But quarantine to be safe anyway until you find out otherwise.

wasn't there a big issue about patients (like Ian Alleyne) not being given any paper documentation? It is verbal confirmation only, as far as I have heard.

My 70 year old aunt in NY tested positive for Covid and experienced it quite mild, while her younger brother got it and almost died.

[maj. tom]

For all we know the virus had mutated into several strains since last year, and some people getting mild strains and other getting a very deadly one. And all of them super contagious.

We won't know till scientists have researched and collected much more data on this virus which could take decades of manifestation in world populations. I believe that this one is quite different to previous respiratory viruses because of how widespread it is and how it has impacted the global population. It has affected us psychologically and even politically.

Rowley just pound GG. Why are people not being arrested for breaching C-19 regulations?

He damn right, everybody doing the donkey wine in bars and police turns a blind eye.

Why people sitting and liming in bars at a time like this?

none of the covid regulations are actual law. merely guidelines that people and authorities agreeing to agree to. if it was to be made law, they would have to pass it in parliament and proclaim it.

if u need to see donkey logic, look at the government, that greets persons with mask/facesheild on, then proceed to remove that minutes after. the point of the masks, is IF u have covid and dont know, that u will not spread it to the surfaces and air around u, that others could encounter. a few minutes passing is not enough to presume that u dont have covid.

unless u work with an specific group of individuals, and ur work space does not get intruded upon with other people, u cannot remove ur face mask. talking on a mic used by multiple individuals, is a prime device to collect and pass on virus particles.

[paid_influencer]

on a note for Max, ED, Gladiator and all the others who feeling sick -

the WHO recommendation is to use medical masks (surgical or N95) if you have symptoms or exposure. The cloth masks are better than nothing, but really you should be using disposable surgical or N95 ones if you feel unwell.

People were told by the MoH to ignore this information

[shake d livin wake d dead]

this virus is no joke even if you young and fit.

Exactly... aint there was a nba player who so wanted to prove covid was a hoax that he rub up his face on the mics and soon after got tested covid positive

i am saying, that that should be the goal. so when people get it and get over it, they cannot catch it again and relay it to those who vulnerable to it. if someone from abroad comes in with it, they can spread it, but so much people will not be able to get it, that it cannot propagate. what u will have are very few isolated cases.

Thanks for the advice bro.... but I good not feeling sick or anything. I guess they just taking precaution...

Getting the virus does not mean you cannot get it again or be a carrier afterwards

According to the World Health Organisation
"There is currently no evidence that people who have recovered from COVID-19 and have antibodies are protected from a second infection."

not enough to say that it doesnt afford some level of immunity.

There is no evidence of that

[stev]

as Duane said...no evidence of immunity just yet cuz there are cases where people got it again.

...based on what I saw in some groceries today; we might have new cases soon.....utter chaos and nonsense....Xtra Foods Grand Bazaar was the worse...people stick up on one another....when i saw that nonsense i just left....resorted to buying my essentials in the quick shop (beer )

they hadda wait another week- the virus could hide up to 14 days and cause a false negative if tested before it emerges

even at Grand Bazaar when I attempted to go to Xtra Foods.....I had to park as far as Toppers....needless to say; no social distancing in there from what I saw from the outside.

[stev]

the only place I was in shock was Royal Castle by Brentwood....10 people inside at a time and people making an extra effort to social distance.....people even line up outside and would only enter when someone leaves....u know what's the shocking part?....NO ENFORCEMENT OF THE RULES!!!....people actually obeyed the rules and no staff or security had to tell them to do so....that was 'shocking' for me cuz i was expecting chaos as usual based on what I saw earlier at Grand Bazaar

the Public Heath Ordinance is law- there are fines & penalties (jail) for breaching it- so the limit of 25 or 10 for gatherings are included- these don't apparently need to be passed & proclaimed in parliament- if so it would take a much longer time and with a fast spreading virus it would not make sense.

the masks & social distancing are guidelines in most cases- however I've seen for certain businesses in the Ordinance actually states that certain guidelines must be followed- so for these businesses, those guidelines actually become law as well.

For all who crying about the possibility of economic crisis, remember the abouds and the like with the help of the previous PNM regimes drained the treasury.

it took 10 months to get the vaccine for swine flu in 2009-2010 , ten years after is covid 19 that start in england and usa in lets say february (not sure) but 10 month after would be in december 2020 so lets see if they can release the vaccine by then, they in phase 3 testing of 15000 persons currently to get the dosage right.

china start in dec 2019 if i remember correctly so by next month china should have a vaccine idk as news out of china sketchy.

Thank you for posting that. Many people seem not to understand that the underlying law was passed in the 1960's.
