Dehydration is the enemy with flu-like viruses.

So drink your salt water, coconut water and mix the ORS packets you can buy at the pharmacy. Stay hydrated with them so you are peeing almost clear every time. Make high protein soups (chicken foot, cow heel) so your body can have a good source of protein to ramp up antibody production.

Africa may not have the virus, but it have everything else

africa dont have a way to detect it accurately. the mild cases are normal cold virus, the harsh cases passed off as famine, or some other disease.
same ting like garden and doubles, imburt know them injun have money, he just wasnt sure how much.

Perhaps you were being sarcastic but...

----------

The World Health Organization (WHO) has rushed to beef up the ability of African countries to test for the virus and train health professionals in caring for people affected by it. Only Senegal and South Africa had labs that could test for the virus at the end of January, but 37 countries now have testing capability.

I wasn't being sarcastic. Long time ah man did jess drop down and dead, now we know it's heart disease.
Africa may very well have cases but they are being missed diagnosed because of the lack of health care infra structure to test properly and the resemblance to typical corona viruses so mild cases are pssed off as sumting else

Go at ur own risk.

thier interactivity history for the past two weeks would be interesting to analyze, but, i would like to focus on their time spent here, and interacting with people who came here.

if they could have set up a web site where u can back track their movement history for all trini cases. it would be cool, and useful.

I don't see the sense in the statement that he came in monday night and was under self quarantine immediately and then wednesday developed symptoms. Why would you self quarantine if you had no symptoms? If he was quarantined, why was he still exposed to his children and now the school has to shut down for 2 weeks?

u can have it with out displaying symptoms. and, if u see that u were in a situation that u might have been in contact with it, u might opt to self quarantine out of an abundance of caution. and then, when he actually began displaying symptoms, he got tested and his hunch was correct.

u dont put on a seatbelt because u know this trip ending in an accident. u put it on, and most times u didnt need it. same thing with him quarantining him self. he analyzed is his risk, and decided the likely hood was significant, and took a precautionary step.


the germans are smart people.

i would think more people did this, and did not get any symptoms, so there was nothing to report, so we didnt got to hear.

Arrive monday night
Feeling mash up-jet lag?Long crappy flight? slight sore throat.-Stay home and chill/spend time with family
Wake Wed-still have sore throat-check doctor.

I dont see anything wrong.

The covid19 making its way into T&T was never in doubt.
What I have observed is that symptoms individuals may experience upon contracting covid19 are also identical to the flu virus which we have present since about Aug 2019 which accounted for in-excess of 40 deaths which in the majority resulted from respiratory distress and derived complications.
One must wonder if this monster may have been around prior to yesterday and was undetected because people just felt it was the terrible flu which has been with us for quite sometime now.

Same thing I had said a while back in a post. Late last year when there were deaths from respiratory failure, they didn't know what was the cause because it wasn't the H1N1. They were taking samples from the dead bodies for further testing. So it is possible.

Went Massy in Trinicity last night. Place ram out but was there after closing. All the cashier lines had long queues however no one was going to the 1-10 lines but I did and so was able to cash a full cart in a few mins.
Never know unless you try.

They had everything except toilet paper and those fancy disinfectants (Lysol etc). The bottled water aisle was empty but they had pallets of bottled water across in the appliances section.
