They should reveal their Vax status as well.

But 50% actually due to covee isn't good..
Hopefully is slight and precautionary and not serious.

Trinis,

Follow the protocols please.

Get responsible.

Very true. It isn't that much of an inconvenience to wear a mask.

Will u feel safe going a govt mandated carnival, fully vaxed and boosted, then back home to ur elderly family and neighbors?

MOH should update their messaging about this- it did prevent about 70% of spread with delta and more with the early strains.

but Omicron is immune evasive- u can't tell ppl they will protect others by taking it, unless other measures are also taken around them e.g. masks and vaxxing those others. ppl can get a false sense of security around vulnerable ppl and not take other precautions- i am vaxxed but still wear a mask around my grandmother who is in her 90s. and more importantly she is vaxxed.

There has been a steady increase in hospitalizations since mid-November.

Increase in testing or data tabulation is a hell of a thing.

If they could disambiguate incidental and actual causal positive tests, that will be great.

U In hospital cause rebar in ur thigh, but ur covee test positive so I added to hospital figure...

It nah make sense. Just pumping fear.

Only certain "journalists" allowed to attend diplomatic centre press conferences. #1 in the world.

smash dr richards already said its 50 50 regarding primary vs incidental cases in hospital.

Mmoney607 · Postby **Mmoney607** » January 17th, 2023, 11:12 pm

If a mask doesn't affect your breathing and it could save people life, why the covid team tell people to stop wearing it?

I think it's less than that.

Using vague indefinitive language to admit, but not admit how much.
Put an actual stat.

But anyway

Not against the jab, but showing that the Vax companies was focusing on money making.

All these new Vax drives and children Vax drives is just fur the guvt to use taxes to funnel into the manufacturers pockets.

yes I confirmed it a while back. It's the same old Sinopharm, J&J and the new WHO 2023 flu vaccine.
At least go take the flu vaccine.

They(govt) ever did the investigation within the time frame of the pandemic of checking autopsy results if they really died from it or other causes? I was not following it up.

Most trinis want to bury their relatives with ease, so opt out of autopsies. The authorities don't like work, so they recommend releasing the bodies aimlessly.

Stats are low.
