[aaron17]

So they really had to make an article out of suspected corona mortality that was soaring since the beginning of the corona vaccination?

I jus criticizing stuff

You's one ah dem who believe it had chirren in a container in de port ah few years back ent?

[redmanjp]

for the umpteenth time, u cannot get 'corona' from the vaccine!

the reason we are having more deaths are because we are having more cases! prior to march we were only getting like 5 measly cases per day- allyuh doh remember dat? how much were we getting in april into may? it reached as high as 700+ on some days!

why more cases? there is community spread of the Gamma or Brazil variant which is a lot more contagious then the original strain. each person spreads the infection to more people than the old strain would have done.

these stupid antivax articles always trying to point to the vaccines but conveniently leave out the obvious facts that we have a lot more infection which will result in more hospitalization and death.

Prior to delta the US went from 4000 deaths per day to well under 1000, despite millions being vaccinated daily. if the vaccines were causing deaths would the death increase not decrease?

I don't think people think the vaccine causes covid ...

People don't trust their government/authority and they find it highly suspicious that as soon as we started getting vaccines cases and "deaths" went through the roof ... Then as soon as vaccines arrive for kids ... All of a sudden they start panicking people with news of hospitalized kids.

Then around the same time just as our government was becoming more authoritative with vaccines, the IMF bless we up with 644 larges ones from the special drawing rights program which is more or less a welfare system.

if it looks clear/yellow and its warm yuh cah get vex with a man for being suspicious, it might be apple juice or it could just be piss.

Delta variant patient spent five days in circulation before being detected

One of the two people who was recently diagnosed with the Delta variant of COVID-19 after travelling into T&T, possibly spent five days in public circulation before showing symptoms and testing positive with the virus.

This was confirmed by Chief Medical Officer Dr Roshan Parasram at yesterday’s COVID-19 media conference.

Having arrived in the country fully vaccinated and with a negative PCR test 72 hours before travelling, Parasram said the passenger was allowed to go home and only got tested when he developed symptoms five days later. The passenger eventually went to a health centre to get tested.

Parasram said he and his family were then quarantined pending the results. He said at least three close family members were also placed in quarantine and that they will all be discharged when two negative tests are received.

The ministry has not shed any light on whether the traveller spent time in public places and to what extent he could have triggered community spread of the Delta variant.

It is also unclear whether that patient—having tested negative before travelling—came into the country with the Delta virus or whether he contracted it while here from someone else.

The second passenger, who was also fully vaccinated and had a negative PCR test, came in to work on an offshore rig.

“One of them came in through the oil and gas stream, which is a little different. So they have some additional quarantine when you come into the country. Some of them work offshore so they would have been doing some routine testing and picked up that particular case,” Parasram said of that patient.

“The person had no symptoms at the time so the person was picked up in that regard and then sent to us for sequencing because of the recent travel, tested and we got the results a few weeks later. We would have been able to quarantine all the contacts of that individual, although they would have been in quarantine they would have still had contacts within that site, so it’s about seven or eight persons, so those persons would have been quarantined—all tested negative and discharged,” he said.

Despite this, the CMO said he still does not see any need for a change in the entry process.

“If we look at that cohort, two persons positive out of 14,222, it means that 99.986 per cent of them did not develop COVID upon entry into the country, at least that we are not aware. It is an extremely small percentage of people to change the policy for,” he said in giving the figures for the amount of people who had arrived since the borders reopened on July 17.

He said any additional layer of quarantine for fully vaccinated travellers would be unfair to the 99 per cent of travellers who don’t test positive after entry.

He credited the large success of the existing entry protocol to the provision of a mandatory negative PCR test taken within 72 hours of arrival which is sufficient.

“We have seen a substantial decrease in the number of positives we’re picking up (after entry) once we had that policy (negative PCR test) introduced a few months ago. Prior to that, we would have almost as much as 10 per cent of people coming in via repatriation being picked up. With that in place...unvaccinated (travellers) or not, it has gone down to about one per cent or thereabout,” he said.

He reiterated that people entering the country should be extra vigilant over the following two weeks upon arrival and get tested as soon as any symptoms develop. He said these travellers should also try to keep people they are in contact with to a minimum to reduce the risk of any onward transmission.

While the CMO referred to these two cases, Trinidad and Tobago has so far registered six Delta cases, all of whom travelled into this country.

Public health policy specialist Dr Mandreker Bahall also agreed with the Chief Medical Officer’s assertion that there was no need to adjust the entry protocols.

“I think the border policy is quite acceptable in light of our resource constraint and in light of when you’re fully vaccinated, the chance of spreading the disease is much less,” he said.

He said it would be infeasible to mandate the fully vaccinated travellers also quarantine upon entry.

Which means it not as dangerous as you think or ppl would have been dropping like flies since the majority of Trinidad is still unvaxxed...more research will tell you PCR test is NOT for covid and you could find whatever you looking for in one....

for the umpteenth time, u cannot get 'corona' from the vaccine!

the reason we are having more deaths are because we are having more cases! prior to march we were only getting like 5 measly cases per day- allyuh doh remember dat? how much were we getting in april into may? it reached as high as 700+ on some days!

why more cases? there is community spread of the Gamma or Brazil variant which is a lot more contagious then the original strain. each person spreads the infection to more people than the old strain would have done.

these stupid antivax articles always trying to point to the vaccines but conveniently leave out the obvious facts that we have a lot more infection which will result in more hospitalization and death.

Prior to delta the US went from 4000 deaths per day to well under 1000, despite millions being vaccinated daily. if the vaccines were causing deaths would the death increase not decrease?

I don't think people think the vaccine causes covid ...

People don't trust their government/authority and they find it highly suspicious that as soon as we started getting vaccines cases and "deaths" went through the roof ... Then as soon as vaccines arrive for kids ... All of a sudden they start panicking people with news of hospitalized kids.

Then around the same time just as our government was becoming more authoritative with vaccines, the IMF bless we up with 644 larges ones from the special drawing rights program which is more or less a welfare system.

if it looks clear/yellow and its warm yuh cah get vex with a man for being suspicious, it might be apple juice or it could just be piss.

Well seeing as we love to follow the US, their kids infection rates also went up

more research will tell you PCR test is NOT for covid

PCR is not approved to test covid

just laying out the facts

What is a COVID-19 PCR test?
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for COVID-19 is a molecular test that analyzes your upper respiratory specimen, looking for genetic material (ribonucleic acid or RNA) of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Scientists use the PCR technology to amplify small amounts of RNA from specimens into deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which is replicated until SARS-CoV-2 is detectable if present. The PCR test has been the gold standard test for diagnosing COVID-19 since authorized for use in February 2020. It’s accurate and reliable.

PCR means polymerase chain reaction. It’s a test to detect genetic material from a specific organism, such as a virus. The test detects the presence of a virus if you have the virus at the time of the test. The test could also detect fragments of the virus even after you are no longer infected.

The funny thing is that the border policies are meant to stop this exact thing from happening. But parassram asking vaccinated people to quarantine when they come home. Vaccinated people have no mandate to quarantine. They are free to do as this wish from the time they land in piarco. This is just like when
parassram said he was seeing a spike but he still allowed 50000 people to travel between Trinidad and tobago and we have had over 1300 deaths since.

5 days this Trini was in circulation?

Well the same damn way the jackass got infected, the same way he can endanger the lives of others.

I am certain he/she was not even following the protocols properly.

SMH.

You know Trinis, fus thing they want when they come back is KFC and all kinda folly.I tell pops he has quarantine whether he likes it or not.He supposed to be coming in by month end.

[Mmoney607]

Allyuh hear the story about the national hockey players that were denied entry into T&t because the results of their pcr test was in Spanish.?

That's the most ridiculous thing to happen in this whole covid situation. And people really think parassram and the pnm know what they doing and making sensible decisions.

Delta was coming in regardless, it's time we learned to live with Covid because it's not going away.

This is why vaccination is of the the utmost importance. Imagine you are fully vaccinated, negative PCR and you blokes want people to quarantine?

CAL can't survive that, other airlines will stop flying to Trinidad as well.

Passengers whose documents are in a language other than English should check with their airline or aircraft operator before travel.

Does a negative test result or documentation of recovery need to be in English?

United States: Airlines and other aircraft operators must be able to confirm the test result and review other required information, and should determine when translation is necessary for these purposes. Passengers whose documents are in a language other than English should check with their airline or aircraft operator before travel.

Government of Canada: To be considered fully vaccinated, travellers must have received the full series of a COVID-19 vaccine — or combination of vaccines — accepted by the Government of Canada, at least 14 days prior to entering Canada. Currently, those vaccines are manufactured by Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca/COVISHIELD, and Janssen (Johnson & Johnson). Travellers must provide proof of vaccination in English or French (or a certified translation).

Germany:
Requirements for tests and proof of vaccination or recovery
Detailed information on the requirements for tests and proof of immunity is available on the website of the Federal Ministry of Health.

In principle, the following forms of proof are accepted:

Proof of a negative test result:
A negative test result obtained using nucleic acid amplification technology (e.g. PCR, PoC- PCR) in German, English, French, Italian or Spanish. The test must have been carried out no more than 72 hours prior to entry (time of swabbing).

5 days this Trini was in circulation?

Well the same damn way the jackass got infected, the same way he can endanger the lives of others.

I am certain he/she was not even following the protocols properly.

SMH.

Delta was coming in regardless, it's time we learned to live with Covid because it's not going away.

This is why vaccination is of the the utmost importance. Imagine you are fully vaccinated, negative PCR and you blokes want people to quarantine?

CAL can't survive that, other airlines will stop flying to Trinidad as well.

they shouldn't need to quarantine in a state-supervised facility- but why not issue a self quarantine at home? how is that going to affect CAL?

Waiting patiently for a variant to bypass vaccination immunity then I will hear the ppl who love to say learn to live with virus

No sheit Sherlock That's what a public servant does he works for the government . Anyway I was quoting the ppl that love to say live with the virus, a virus that is constantly proving everyone wrong when you think it's doing one thing , it does another , so again keep predicting

what are you referring to? we still all have to wear masks and observe safety regulations when we live with the virus. umpteen times it has been mentioned that it will never go away but hopefully vaccines will be able to bring it down to flu level.

you choose to be ignorant because you are overcompensating for something -- this is not normal human behaviour. i suggest you seek professional help because the way you are acting is not healthy, for anyone and yourself. you might be toxic to those around you with your lack of compassion and refusal to understand simple things. there's nothing shameful in seeking help.
