Infections SHOULD be considered different from cases, as having covid isn't a problem, compared to actually being sick because of covid.
If it isn't a problem, why make it a problem...


it could become a problem because hospitalized cases could increase exponentially. and when that happens expect Govt intervention.
What I saying is, to have those as two separate figures. I. E. Infections, AND cases.
People hospitalized due to covid, and infections that just so happen to get picked up by a test,



A person who in the hospital for cancer, but also happen to be covid positive, should not be a covid case, but merely counted as an infection.

But if u actually sick cause covid damaging ur throat, then that should be a covid case.




But if they do that, they would see covid is spreading wild, but a mere fraction is problematic.

they did finally reveal that primary cases and incidental cases are about 50 50, so primary cases are not a fraction.

wish they break down that seroprevalence study by age- because it could be that while the overall population has immunity- the over 60 has low immunity and they are the most vulnerable.

So, 90%+ seroprevalence with 50% Vax... There is little else to do..
It shows the virus isn't as deadly. And it spread readily, so the Vax and masks didnt work to stop spread.

the idea is not to stop spread (that can't be done with these highly transmissible strains) but slow it down. it's not a china zero covid policy.


seat belts speed limits and sober driving dont stop accidents so get rid of them
police dont stop crime so get rid of them :roll: :roll:

it's all or nothing?

based on that 94% immunity in the population- i haven't gotten covid yet at least not with symptoms. perhaps i likely had it asymptomatically or i happen to be lucky to be in the small group who hasn't gotten it.

The Office of the Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago
https://www.facebook.com/OPMTT/posts/pfbid02Q6SALdzwJ7nssoukhZFcFxRdjGGzt4BNg1QGnghhpzsUTMiN5ks1k4hPePgcXwxVl

Prime Minister's Media Conference - Thursday 12th January, 2023.

Prime Minister Dr the Hon. Keith Rowley is calling on members of the public to practice personal responsibility during the ongoing Carnival season.

Dr Rowley urged caution in light of the recent uptick in COVID-19 cases reported by the Ministry of Health.
The Prime Minister was speaking during a media conference held at the Diplomatic Centre, St Ann’s today (Thursday 12th January, 2023) when he made the comments.

Dr Rowley said, “We are going into a Carnival where the nature of Carnival is meeting and mixing. We do not believe that the situation warrants us to not have Carnival, but we believe that it warrants us taking personal decisions about your exposure to minimise instances of the requirement for healthcare delivery to you.”

Prime Minister Rowley assured that the Government will continue to monitor and manage the spread of the virus, and does not intend to disrupt travel, the economy or Carnival given the high level of COVID-19 immunity in the population. He stated that the Government is prepared to act “if the increased numbers become threatening with respect to our ability to provide the care that would be required.”

Dr Rowley noted that Trinidad and Tobago has been impacted by “all the variants of concern to us and of course, the one that is causing most of the problems in the United States is already here with us."
When asked if the Government intends to impose any COVID-19 travel restrictions at this time, the Prime Minister said it is not “a necessary response” and that the Government’s response would be to suppress the spread of the virus.

The Prime Minister is encouraging the population to follow all COVID-19 protocols and get vaccinated.

Trinis will never get it.

Ignorance is what licking up this country bad. Even if they have mask mandate, Trinis will make it their duty to make it difficult for compliance.

Individual responsibility with collective mandated masking and lockdowns? Nah
UDFR.

Allyuh want to say masking will reduce the load on the health care system.
How will carnival impact that load?
300k of people for a couple weeks wiith alcohol and weakened immune systems mixing with people from all over the worle.




And want to tell me, masks work.

Phone,

You see the state Trinis have this country in? You want a list of things laid out? You want me to commend my countrymen for their excellent contribution in this pandemic with embarrassing numbers for a small country, the horrendous crime rate, cleanliness of the country and their amazing work ethics? No wonder every week you have some nancy story in work. Let’s praise those who trying to outsmart you and rob you on a regular basis? Soldier learn to absorb criticism eh.

Btw, i am not comparing us to any country. Our statistics are self explanatory.

When will T&T get it right?

Okay but you are talking about general human behavior. Our leadership have us screwed the way we are. At the end of the day most people are followers. And they will follow what those in power say or demand.

Phone,

General human behavior? I am talking specifically about our countrymen, and if you want to generalize, then we can compare to others. You would go to other countries, some larger, some smaller, and their Covid cases, crime and state of littering are significantly lower.

Stop solely blaming the leadership. We have rules and regulations to follow and the citizens have a responsibility to abide. Those in power have asked the population to be responsible, what was the outcome? Blatant UNcooperativeness. Those in power have said NO Littering, NO Speeding, NO Parking etc. Those in power have distinctly said that to murder, rape and rob are against the law. And the citizens follow what those in power say or demand?

https://www3.cnc3.co.tt/carnival-on-des ... recaution/

^ what are your thoughts on this message from your leader? These are the same people who make your phone store a living hell. Will they follow his instructions? You tell me.

Come on Surgeon get with the times. We as a people have to do better.

Masks help protect individuals from others who may have COVID-19 or other contagious illnesses. They act as a physical barrier that can help reduce the spread of virus particles by blocking large droplets and aerosols generated when an infected individual coughs, sneezes, or talks. Masks do not provide complete protection against viruses, as smaller respiratory released particles are not filtered out and may be able to penetrate the mask.

>90% seroprevalence says no, masks don't work.

All the tests before hand to show how it is believed to work, np.

The real world performance after it was deployed shows it did didley squat.


N95 WILL work.
If that is mandated, then that will make sense.
But, that will only work for a period of time.. ALL filters eventually foul and u get break through, so must be Changed on a timing.

Again, lol @exhalation valves. The same people who telling u Masks work, is the same people who dont see the problem with exhalation valves on masks.
