To all those idiots who saying cancel carnival, u do realize that more people pass through a single airport like LAX, JFK, LHR, etc. In one day than the number of people that fly down for carnival.
We have say 40k visitors for Carnival, in one of those airports above they have 100k passengers arriving daily. With maybe 100 times more Chinese.
But yes let's cancel carnival.
Airports and big cities are festering grounds for the spread of disease. You'd think fetes and carnival would be too and of course they are, but it's tiny in comparison to being on a train in London. Or literally the same as walking along the streets or in malls.
This is a Chinese disease as of now. Screen anyone coming from China.
There is no out break yet in the US. Relax.

Your stats are amazing, you do realize that a disease such as that on a tiny island such as ours is catastrophic.

A disease any where guy, what make an island any different? Ever been to a big city? Trust me the level of risk, spread and difficulty to quarantine is far worse than our isolated island.
Fact is, unless you shut down air travel throughout the world (not feasible), why cancel carnival. You making it seem like it's a huge influx of visitors. It's not, it's literally 25% of what a big city experiences daily. And these visitors are unlikely to be the ones carrying the virus since as of now, there is no outbreak in the US, Canada and UK.

And depending on how fast it can spread, the number of ppl who would have not been quarantined after entering the US who may be infected BEFORE showing symptoms and if it mutates that number could increase dramatically by the week before Carnival. All it takes really is one person to come in from the US through Piarco, not yet symptomatic but infected so the thermal scanners won't detect anything, he goes to fete and spreads it given the state of our Health system we in for trouble.
We should be quarantining anyone who passes through affected regions regardless of symptoms

But them tuners too stupid to see that

to the fella above comparing us to a big city, I doh know how long you've been in Trinidad, but every year during Carnival we have a cold and flu season. Normally it is just some sniffles and body ache, but this year we talking about pneumonia, hospitalization and death.

Dude this new virus is not significantly worse than the flu. The flu is every freaking where. Virus does always be going around. I play mas every single year for the last 14 years, not once I got sick after.
But ofc it does happen, but cancelling carnival does not stop visitors (and those who already booked tickets) from coming down.
So I say let's lock down piarco, fever or no fever, no body coming in.
Time we try to eradicate the flu and cold.
I can compare us to a big city and I will tell u a big city is so much worse when flu and viruses making the rounds.
Especially in places where ppl use mass transit like London. Literally get sick almost every time I'm in London for long.
Btw the mortality rate of this virus is ~1% maybe less. Worse than the flu yes, but nothing to be severely panicked about.
