It's coming IMG-20200403-WA0278.jpeg

I watched the first 3 minutes and changed the station...Id get updates tomorrow

30 secs. u have more belly

Managed to watch until he started talking about Ghana and then he lost my attention.

Main takeaway from the interview is that the SIQ seems likely to be extended, though he is reluctant to deepen disciplinarian restrictions and is depending on the citizens to do their parts

sad thing is, the ghana might be more pertinent, since it have an rbtt ghana, and maduro is looking to secure his gains.

u hadda be super dunce to think vene vp come here and they didnt want to plan an escape withouth american spy systems catching what they sayin.

I'm starting to wonder whether they pulled a Pakistan and are sheltering Maduro somewhere in the country, just like what was going on with Bin Laden. If they are that stupid, the wrath of Trump will be upon the land, as he is not restrained at all. I don't want to see any drone strikes or Navy SEAL teams having to carry out operations in our small patch of dirt down here.

[MaxPower]

Max is spot on.

Our behaviours in Trinidad are quite poor and are not conducive to camradarie.

While some may say I am euphoric, this is an opportunity for Trinidadians to unite to a common cause. Sadly, the political divide created since our independence has bred us to be a divisive society on the whole, which makes it ideal for a small percentage of powerful individuals to exert maximum control on us.

Face it, maybe COVID-19 could have been an opportunity to show we can do the right thing but alas we've even failed at that as the virus is spreading and will traverse even further due to our behaviours. What's more, when we come out of it, we'll generally be even more sheeplike waiting to be bobolized by some people.

Note,

Hyatt is extending thanks to the health care professionals. Kudos to them.

No thanks whatsoever to the majority of the WOFT citizens of T&T.

They have continued to be an embarrassment and a disgrace to mankind. Let it be known, that they were given the opportunity to stand together as a people to fight Covid19 and did exactly the opposite.

The Govt pleaded and begged over and over and over for citizens to be considerate and responsible, that of which was a disaster. It now appears that Trinidadians are complying and “working together”, but this is only temporary, and the Stay at Home restrictions forced them to stay home. After the pandemic, there should be NO thanks to the citizens of T&T for their lack of support.

Saw something circulating of facebook for 9th April for citizens to “stand together” for departments fighting Covid19. Whilst this is a very courteous and deserving gesture, they are under pressure because of the actions of pathetic Trinidadians. Had you all done your part, they would not have to take up the stress of your failures and carelessness.

These are facts, this is reality...this is T&T.

You’s one a dem fellas who used to ask for more paper half hour into the exam but still get 0 ent?

Summarize ur useless essays or just stfu nah.

Hello carluva,

Words cannot explain how much i condone your comments.

Please excuse Desi-Mero, he is the #1 sufferer on Tuner, he only plants him self in threads when ever he can loaf a wifi connection. He is a classic example of the type of Trinidadians that bring this country down. Rest assured, if you see a Trini that is suspicious, oppressed, depressed, sneezing, coughing and spitting in public....Mero is your guy.

Or develop a epic case of OCD, by the time this pass.

Thing is, there will never be a 100% airtight technique to completely protect yourself.... ever.

He did talk about not handling items in areas where you suspect other shoppers might have handled them though... and leaving groceries outside/in garages etc, until you're ready to individually bring in items. That sheit real tedious though. I guess just do what works best for you. Anything better than nothing.

It's the behaviour of these ppl that I describe each day, and folks on here display the same behaviour and they just dont understand.

[bluefete]

Gov't going to move 17 from Couva (to, allegedly, Caura) to prepare them for release.

Man in Couva hospital (allegedly) say he doh want to go to Caura because he getting nice treatment in Couva and Caura hospital is an old 100 year old building.

SMDH.

Please watch at least on press briefing to understand how the process works. Even if they recover fully they can be asymptomatic and may spread the virus further upon release which is why they remain in quarantine within the hospital until two tests return negative. They apparently now sourced another location to move these patients to and keep them under observation so that precious bedspace isn't clogged.

[maj. tom]

Some of these old folks armed with their faith and ready to go and meet "God."
So it doh bother them. That is why most of them not adhering to the social distancing rules. Peter must pay for selfish Paul right?

‘5-minute funeral’ for Miss Vernise

“I was allowed to give a brief blessing and prayer. It lasted about five minutes. It was two people and I at St James Crematorium. I can’t say anymore.”

So said Carenage parish priest Fr Harold Imamshah ­after he conducted an extremely brief funeral service at 2.50 p.m. for late beloved resident and active church member Vernise Lodge, who died of COVID-19 complications on Tuesday night.

Prepared to meet her Maker

Lodge was one of 49 people who tested positive for COVID-19 after returning from a cruise aboard the Costa Favolosa. She was quarantined at Balandra, and subsequently moved to Couva Children’s Hospital, where she died. She was the first woman to die of the disease in T&T.

When Lodge was in Guadeloupe, Imamshah said he posted a call to find creative ways to sell the Catholic News and Lodge texted him. “She said: ‘Fr Imamshah, don’t worry. I will take a few copies. I will walk around and sell them.’
