At this rate, 1/2 million by end of September? Is that what we're aiming for? herd immunity? because that is not a good idea, death-wise.

If you look at other CARICOM nations and take into consideration the recent jump in confirmed cases, Trinidad is still in a much better position with respect to infection rate of its population.[img]//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200816/01734f670510cbbb0b37b75af7516812.jpg[/img]Dohplaydat wrote:elec2020 wrote:adnj wrote:elec2020 wrote:I see tnt is well on its way to be the US of the caribbean when it comes to covid.

You are way, way off even as a joke.
The USA has 168K deaths and 5.62M cases.
To match the severity of USA outbreak, Trinidad would need to have 700 dead and 22K cases -- and climbing.
U missed my point. I am stating that like US is the leader in covid infections in the G7. We may end up being the leader in covid infections in the catibbean. That is all. Hence my statement the US of the caribbean.
He's not wrong.
It's almost exactly as I predicted. Back in March or April I said we locked down too hard and when we eventually have a real first wave, we'll be fed up. I hate being proven right about this now but it was very very predictable.
This isn' simply a trini thing, locking down hard for months is difficult or anyone, Americans, Italians, Chinese, Spanish etc.
People all over the world now have lockdown fatigue. Almost no one has the same fear, discipline that they did in Mar to June. We fed up.
Worst of all, the way we behaved from March to June is how we should be behaving now. The goal is always to flatten the curve, not avoid it (which is near impossible, even NZ is finding that out now).
Secondly, we have a government that for the last 3 weeks has been extremely complacent in allowing election activities to go on, playing down the severity of the outbreak. Remember "it's not raging, no community spread, we have it under control, we still Oxford number 1".
Thirdly, we have a government that sends messaging saying it's the citizens fault for getting covid. That is utterly rediculous. Almost 90% of the cases so far are people who have contracted it from co-workers or their immediate relatives. Not people going bars, restaurants, groceries or not wearing masks in crowds.
Many persons can't work from home and many employers need to make up for low earnings right now so again, unless a strict lockdown is enforced, it will continue to spread.

yup. imagine you can charge people $1000 for littering, $500 for parking, and jail time for obscene language but the penalty for taking off a mask and spewing COVID over everybody is ... nothing.

Once you are testing people with symptoms or people with exposure history or risks then those tests will be morw accurate.
You can't waste tests just testing random people when you are aiming to detect and treat. This is not about surveillance. This is about detecting and removing. To narrow it down you have to test based on symptoms.
Let me ask you a question. Have you ever woke up in the morning, felt amazing and went by the doctor for a test because you suspect that you are ill?
I am guessing no.

They could have implemented the lock down two weeks ago and I believe the election could have still go on and result would have been more or less the same.pugboy wrote:“ Secondly, we have a government that for the last 3 weeks has been extremely complacent in allowing election activities to go on, playing down the severity of the outbreak.
