Brace yourselves for the Caribbean countries issuing travel bans against Trinis..
Time to see if this Chinese Sausage Vaccine any good.

This is real test of the Sinopharm.....boosters may be announced when delta becomes dominant

it bound to come here... they tested positive on day 7 of quarantine, after two negative PCR tests during travel. This thing like ninja.

[DMan7]

What are the chances that these are the only 2 Delta cases in T&T and we won't get anymore or community transmission?

[paid_influencer]

I seeing local celebs going disney world and taking maskless selfies. when they come back, straight through they going (no quarantine) to drop off whatever variant they pick up.

Sinopharm is there to keep you alive and out of the hospital, not for you to maskless galavant all over the place.

I understand that but what are the chances that catch delta 3 days before your flight and all the time you were negative

What is the purpose of the PCR test if it is highly unreliable as shown here?

The pcr test is 72 hours before.

Delta is highly tranmissable, even outdoors unlike the Wuhan virus.

If it's like chicken pox as one article quoted I find it hard to believe only 2 persons on that plane contracted the virus

This is the setup for when it becomes the dominant strain in a few weeks. These two unvaccinated nationals will be the two most hated by pnm supporters.

Now that we know fully vaccinated people can spread the virus and if they are fully vaccinated they can go straight home and 7 days later have delta and spreading it. What's the point of this travel passport?! All travelers should be quarantined....vaxxed or unvaxxed, I don't want to hear about vaccinated have a lower chance of spreading, the possibility still exists

[DMan7]

This is why y'all need to get vaccinated, hopefully this news send some of you to the vaccination sites tomorrow.

This is why I quoted Guyana and told him they doing that currently, a ministry cannot outright ban the citizens from its services they will still have to see both the unvaccinated and vaxxed even with mandatory vaccinations in place however by appointment only

Gullible bluefete AGAIN.

Not necessarily fake news but not applicable to Trinidad. It could be an actual memo from Guyana's Ministry of Health.

315 new cases, 7 deaths today

[adnj]

How many persons would they have spread this to while on the plane?

Nothing to worry about. 98% survival rate. *deep sarcasm*

Thanks Dr. Parasram!

315/7

[hover11]

The cases are rising

[DMan7]

The cases are irrelevant since we have vaccines those cases won't be hospitalized since the vaccines prevent hospitalization.

[hover11]

How is that irrelevant when less than 20 percent of our population is vaccinated

Cases are epected to surge before mid-October.

[MaxPower]

We know that vaccinated or not..you can still get the virus.
But the best bet of not getting it is to wear proper masks, social distance , wash hands and be in proper ventilated areas?

Hello aaron,

Yes that is the best bet.

Follow the protocols and you will be okay.

The cases are irrelevant since we have vaccines those cases won't be hospitalized since the vaccines prevent hospitalization.

Why are we re-opening when the cases are rising? It's clear that the Ministry's policy is that vaccines are now available and that will now be the basis for everything going forward. Those number of cases are not important if they don't require hospitalization, since it can cause the health system to collapse. That will only happen if everyone gets vaccinated to prevent hospitalization.

I foresee roll backs when delta emerges more, regardless of vaccinations....vaccinated aren't dying from the virus but that doesn't mean they would not require hospitalization in some cases

We had less cases than what we are getting now a few months ago and we went on lockdown. The difference between now and a few months ago is that we have vaccines and that is what the Ministry is using as the basis for re-opening and no more lockdowns. It's now the burden of responsibility lies in society to go get vaccinated.
