Diabetes suppose to controlled with insulin etc, high blood pressure also controlled by medication. OLD age with diabetes and HBP is a ticking bomb.

[sMASH]

[screwbash]

we in this twin island is blessed the Govt ministers need to let trinidad shut down all incoming flights and reroute to tobago, let all incoming passengers spend 21days in tobago and then come to trinidad. this will help boost tobago economy an help the hotel and tourist infrastructure in tobago. only have outgoing flights from trinidad. allow free relocation for those from tobago who want to leave and come trinidad and those who want to stay and make money in tobago allow to do so.

So they will kill thousands of their own citizens in the process?
If they wanted to do that why not sneak it into the US and start the epidemic there?

British scientist says a fragment of comet caused the virus
Cambridge astrobiologist Dr. Chandra Wickramasinghe claims that the COVID-19 virus, that's on its peak, may additionally have been resulting from a fragment of a comet that exploded in a brief flash in North-East China in October 2019.

The sudden outbreak of a new coronavirus, in Wickramasinghe's perspective, is very probable to have a space connection. He brought the strong localization of the virus inside China is the most brilliant aspect of the disease.

"[It's probable] that this [comet has embedded an] infective [COVID-19] virus debris that lived in the incandescent meteor," Wickramasinghe said. The scientist took into consideration the seemingly outrageous possibility that masses of trillions of infective viral debris have been then released embedded within the shape of sweet carbonaceous dust.

Infectious agents, according to Wickramasinghe, are deemed to be widely wide-spread in the area, which might be carried on comets and may fall toward Earth via the troposphere. "These, we believe, can and have inside the past long gone on to result in human disease epidemics," he said.

I want to speak to some misinformation being shared by the Ministry of Health.

We have been testing, on average, less than one patient per day for COVID19.

To date, we have only actually tested 34 people for the virus since December.

But the Ministry is been issuing daily press releases in the following pattern:

"26 patients tested and none are positive," 05/03/20
"32 patients tested and none are positive," 06/03/20
"34 patients tested and none are positive," 07/03/20

giving the casual observer the (false) impression that a large number of tests being performed daily, when they are really just re-reporting old results in multiple press releases.

It is an intentionally misleading way of announcing that they tested a grand total of two new patients in the interval between yesterday and today, for example.

If the Ministry is at this level of spin and deception today, what can you really trust from them when it really gets bad?

The fact: we are woefully under-testing for COVID19 right now.

[wickedtuna]

For those of u who can't get masks .......bloodclad. ...ras

[screwbash]

Lol thanks epidemiologist. The tests aren’t for any and everybody buddy . It has more test numbers than patients because it has to be repeated on the same person more than once and the specificity and sensitivity of the international test isn’t 100%

that could get a lil pull up on fb, and then the mainstream media could run with it and pull them up too.

Rofl the thing is, nobody knows why everyone is hoarding and stockpiling toilet paper in Australia. Even the Australian government has had to address the issue and ask why the people so stupid.

[rspann]

You could use toilet paper as pre filters for most masks. No lie.

[nemisis]

The two women have a small store where they resell the paper evidently

133 deaths in 24hrs for Italy.

16 million people locked down.

[redmanjp]

The World Health Organization (WHO) chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus praised Italy for making "genuine sacrifices" with the restrictions. Until Sunday only about 50,000 people in northern Italy had been affected by quarantines.

Last week the government announced the closure of all schools and universities across the country for 10 days.

d same man who totally against any travel restrictions against even China and other high risk countries praising locking down millions? travelers could roam free and spread this dreaded virus around the world, but not your own citizens. smh he have shares in airlines or what
