That is good because old people do things early. All 6 am they out there ready to catch the PTSC bus for the seniors ride. At 8 am when they done and ready to come home, the rest of us stuck in traffic.

Went looking for masks.. pharmacy in central say 45 for 1 . I ask 1 box she say 1 mask. Went elsewhere and got 2 for 18 each and a reusable mask for 125 dollars.. out here sad right now

[teems1]

i see the canadians, the cubans, this morning, the indians, now australians, get a vaccine, all awaiting human trials.
when a legitimate site posts, ill wait for that.

US has already started human trials.

I think the human guinea pigs get 5k as compensation.

My uncle saw a $8 bottle of sanitizer for 47.

test positive at Mt. Hope? i thought CARPHA was the only one certified?

Will still be longer than the world is prepared to wait for a working vaccine ..these things take time and the rush to start human trials may just be to reduce the pandemonium.

Mt Hope takes the samples and send it to CARPHA who run the tests and call the doctors directly with the test results. From there they are moved to the next site

Doubt he will lie about that...worst case is that he was misinformed.

have links between persons testing positive been established?

is there an algorithm to help estimate the positive confirmed cases vs probability of carriers who have not shown symptoms?

e.g. for every one cockroach you see in the house, 5 more hiding somewhere?

seeing they are stressing the cases reported are all imported.
but limits the person with similar symptoms which may have been in contact an agent with the virus but not showing.

what about persons not able to be tested because the criteria to be tested is only ' have you traveled in the last few weeks "

Agreed. Community spread is real and the quicker we understand and adjust our testing, the closer we will be to stopping it.

[MaxPower]

Testing for mild cases is not important to the govt of T&T.

They know that they are unable to handle testing everyone so they are basically HOPING this thing “dies out”.

This incompetent govt better pray these mild cases they choose not to entertain dont come with a curve ball.

Start testing now.

Businesses may also face penalties for anti-competitive practices such as price-fixing, bid-rigging and market allocation.

Gopee-Scoon said under the Fair Trading Act, businesses that engage in these activities will face a fine of up to 10 percent of their annual turnover.

She, however, said there may be legitimate circumstances for increasing prices such as increased transport costs for bringing in additional supplies. But she cautioned businesses to be fair in their pricing.

Someone should do a report/investigation on those old aged homes we have all across the country. Recently some have had residents dying off in larger than usual numbers from pneumonia related illness.
