now listening to stv breaking dawn, a guest caller told of how is his father died. he had diabetes, and in couva they didnt treat him for the diabetes, it escalated to renal failure, they were late to give him the dialysis, he didnt recover then died. family were told the funeral home had the body, the funeral home denied them the right to view the body, sent a lawyer letter, then they were allowed. and policy from government changed....

one ting is the unnecessary and illogical restrictions the govt imposed, the second ting is the lack of attention to total health while in the system. i mean, if they droning on and on about comorbidities, they should actually address and attend to the comormidities too.

now that leading to questions, if the comorbid deaths, might actually be due to negligence to treat the other factors.e.g. u gone in for covid, u need heart medication, they treat for covid and neglect to give u ur heart medication.

If I tell you the amount of negligence that is happening in the health system with patients. Remember that visiting hours are almost zero so it is open season on bad treatment.

I have an uncle who is almost dying right now. Went to Mt. Hope about 1-2 months ago for something to do with his leg.

Spent about 1 week and called his family to take him out. He came home with MASSIVE bedsores because the nurses refused to let him get out of bed. He was mobile when he went in and is totally bedridden and in serious pain right now.

So with the rapidly rising case totals and death toll in our country as well as many first world countries, it can be asked, what did our authorities do right and what could have been done differently? Because it seems to me that almost every country has done basically the same thing..... lockdown, restrictions, expanded testing etc. Why then only a handful of countries seem to have gotten a handle on the situation? At one point, we were being praised for our handling of the pandemic while USA and europe were being ravaged. Now the second wave has come and undone all the good work achieved before, while other first world countries continue to suffer the same fate. Once again, I think it's more of a culture of trinis becoming very complacent very quickly and being very selfish. There has been talk of persons dying because of being denied treatment for their diabetes, hypertension,cancer etc. These are lifestyle diseases brought upon by lifestyle choices. It should be a lesson for us to clean up our act and live healthier.

is one ting to say pnm were saying that we were number one in the world for covid, is a total next ting to say that we were being praised for handling covid.

the oxford study was not about how well u managed covid.
the oxford study was about the readiness to reopen based on the STATED policies of the govt at the time. if u had good policies on paper, then go ahead and reopen if u name man.

cause, if u policies so good and u implemented them so well, u have no reason to remain locked down.








if it have enough covid patient families that understand what is going on, they could launch a class action lawsuit against the govt for negligence

Hello sMASH,

How things my sweet lad?

Pesky u say?

If immigrants brought it, then immigrants and immigrants alone should be testing positive....not so?

If Trinis are SUPPOSED to wash their smelly hands, wear their masks, distance and stay home....how come they still getting Covid? Why are they going to the bars?

ANY Trini contracting the virus is the fault of their own regardless of where it came from.

To be honest, all im seeing is thousands of infected Trinis and a handful of immigrants bro.

Where are the immigrants? Staying home? Hiding?

If they are staying home, then would you say the majority of immigrants are generally doing their part?
I think their contribution to this pandemic in T&T is quite remarkable and they have clearly proven themselves to be more responsible than their Trini brothers and sisters.

Again my friends, the immigrant situation is not as bad as it seems or what jealous and hateful Trinis make it their duty to promote to be.

There is no doubt that the immigrants do have a very very slight negative impact on society, but generally their presence here is quite outstanding.

Trinis...

Wear your masks properly with an understanding.
Wash your hands properly with meaning.
Social distance for a purpose.
Stay at home for your own safety.

Change can start now. STOP the blame game and look at yourselves...you Trinis are embarrassing yourselves.

Permit me to re-send this issuance from our Govt that many of you have forgotten. NOTE the date and ask yourselves where you are from then until now.

Gotta hand it to them. Real smart to manipulate the data the way they are doing it to frame a narrative.

If spread occurred on the weekend of elections, those persons contracting it will pass it on to their families a week later, the same time that the "las lap" weekend was going on.

What caused it doesn't really matter at this stage. I hope the mask law does what it should and brings new cases down, and soon.

I didn't understand why the government didn't lock down immediately though. Why wait until Monday? What they expected people to do until Monday? What they expected the virus to wait until Monday morning too?

You come out to announce a lockdown, make it immediate by 6pm. That way there will be no panic rush and no "last lap" until Monday.

perhaps for the beaches/bars? but religious orgs would have been having church services etc. might have caught ppl off guard. also they probably wait until Saturday or Friday to decide what to do and then take 2 days to make the new regs and have everyone sign off

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/09/21/cdc-covid-aerosols-airborne-guidelines/

For months, scientists and public health experts have warned of mounting evidence that the novel coronavirus is airborne, transmitted through tiny droplets called aerosols that linger in the air much longer than the larger globs that come from coughing or sneezing.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention agrees. The CDC recently changed its official guidance to note that aerosols are “thought to be the main way the virus spreads” and to warn that poorly ventilated indoor spaces are particularly dangerous.
“There is growing evidence that droplets and airborne particles can remain suspended in the air and be breathed in by others, and travel distances beyond 6 feet (for example, during choir practice, in restaurants, or in fitness classes),” the agency stated. “In general, indoor environments without good ventilation increase this risk.”

While the CDC has not called for any new action to address the airborne threat of a virus that has now killed nearly 200,000 Americans, experts said the change should help to shift policy and public behavior.

“It’s a major change,” Jose-Luis Jimenez, a chemistry professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder who studies how aerosols spread the virus, told The Washington Post. “This is a good thing, if we can reduce transmission because more people understand how it is spreading and know what to do to stop it.”
The CDC shifted its guidelines on Friday, but the change was not widely noticed until a CNN report on Sunday. Where the agency previously warned that the virus mostly spreads through large drops encountered at close range, it now cites “small particles, such as those in aerosols,” as the most common vector.
“These particles can be inhaled into the nose, mouth, airways, and lungs and cause infection,” the guidance says. “This is thought to be the main way the virus spreads.”

Since the pandemic began, arguments have raged over how the virus travels — and how to best halt it. At first, widespread fear of contaminated surfaces led some to bleach their groceries and mail. But the CDC soon concluded that person-to-person transmission was a much more pressing threat. Instead, the agency focused its guidance on avoiding the larger droplets hacked up by sneezes and coughs, which are thought to be mostly limited to a six-foot radius.

But researchers long suspected that the virus could travel much farther, especially indoors and in places where people talk loudly or sing. Infamously, one infected person in March unknowingly passed the coronavirus to 52 others at a choir practice in Washington state. Similar indoor “superspreader” events added weight to the idea of an airborne threat.
The World Health Organization recognized the threat of aerosols in July, after hundreds of scientists urged the international body to address airborne spread. It’s not clear why the CDC finally followed; Jimenez said high-ranking CDC officials were still arguing publicly against airborne transmission as a major vector as recently as late August.

“Evidence has been accumulating for some time. Those of us who have been studying this were frustrated that the change was slow, but it finally came,” Jimenez said.
While the CDC didn’t make any major changes in its guidance on how to prevent the spread of the virus, some scientists suggested it should drive a major rethink of public policy — particularly at a time when students in many areas are returning to indoor classrooms.

“We have been saying 'wear a mask’ and ‘6 feet apart’ for months,” tweeted Abraar Karan, a physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston and Harvard Medical School. “Cloth masks are not designed to block aerosols. And 6 feet apart may be insufficient, esp indoors w/ poor ventilation.”

The change should drive people to adopt concrete solutions to slowing airborne transmission, Jimenez said, such as wearing more tightly fitting masks, improving ventilation and keeping as much distance as possible from others when indoors.

But the CDC’s shift can also help experts and lawmakers better communicate why those measures are needed.

“If we tell people rules they don’t understand, it doesn’t work. We need to tell people why these rules work. Then they can understand, and many more will comply,” Jimenez said.

Since the Corvid situation messing up the murder rate, I was wondering if it would be wise to place bets on Corvid cases/deaths instead of murder?

Betting on the murder rate is not recommended at this time.

it will come down, but not because of the mask laws. it will come down, cause people will not be engaged in superspreader activities... such as campaigning. right now, it still have session goin on outside bars. at least in sando... i see a police man walking up d road, right past a madman coming down, who had no mask... that officer aint gonna attempt to tackle dat.
i not giving that officer wrong, cause this stringent mask law is unnecessary. but it goes to show that u dont need to be absolutely stringent for things to subside. u can still allow some semblance of normalcy to go on. so, reopen the beaches. not the rivers, as those tend to be too confined to allow for sufficient spacing.

Relief as much of New Zealand eases out of coronavirus restrictions
Covid measures to be removed everywhere except Auckland, which will have its measures eased too


Many New Zealanders will on Monday night taste freedom from all Covid-19 restrictions for a second time during the pandemic, after Jacinda Ardern removed all domestic rules for much of the country.

Some restrictions will remain on the largest city, Auckland, for a further two weeks, although the rules will be eased somewhat as health officials said a cluster of cases in the city did not appear to have generated any fresh instances of the virus in the past week.

“Our actions collectively have managed to get the virus under control,” the prime minister told a news conference on Monday. “We are in a strong position to make our next move down the alert settings.”

Celebrations began on social media as New Zealanders heard the news.


At 11.59pm on Monday, all Covid-19 restrictions on the country outside Auckland will be jettisoned – among them, a requirement to wear masks on public transport and planes, and a 100-person limit on social gatherings. The move to so-called “level 1” rules means a return largely to normal life.


At the same time on Wednesday, Auckland’s rules will ease further, allowing gatherings of up to 100 – instead of 10. Businesses will be required to maintain physical distancing and masks will still be mandatory on planes and public transport.

New Zealand’s government had jettisoned all domestic Covid-19 restrictions in early June after the country appeared to have eliminated the virus. It followed a strict lockdown of the entire country in March and April.


Later that month, cases began to be diagnosed in managed isolation facilities at New Zealand’s borders for returning travellers, who must spend two weeks in government-run quarantine. In August, an outbreak in the community in Auckland – the origin of which is still unknown – plunged the city back into one of the strictest levels of lockdown, and raised Covid-19 alert levels for the rest of New Zealand.

But the virus does not appear to have spread outside Auckland, and cases in the city are easing. There are 62 active cases in New Zealand, 33 of them in the Auckland cluster, and 29 imported cases in quarantine facilities.

New Zealand has recorded fewer than 1,500 confirmed coronavirus cases during the pandemic, and 25 deaths.

“There is no costless response to Covid, no matter what your strategy is,” Ardern, who faces an election in October, told reporters on Monday. She added that following the country’s lockdowns, New Zealand’s economy was “more open than that of nearly any other country in the world”.

But the prime minister – who had urged against complacency after the country first eliminated the virus – exhorted New Zealanders to continue using the government’s contact tracing app, employ good hygiene, and stay at home if they were unwell.

The easing of restrictions means that politicians will have more freedom to hold campaign events. The rules on gatherings had curbed the ability of parties to campaign in traditional ways ahead of the 17 October election.

Ardern said her centre-left Labour party was likely to continue to eschew “larger rallies”, even as gathering limits eased.

Auckland’s Covid-19 restrictions will next be reviewed by the cabinet on 7 October.

Countries only delaying the inevitable. It has been said time and time again a good vaccine will only be out mid next year. And there is still alot of question marks on availability. I also read in the US they will be distributing based on priority. So maybe health care workers first or the elderly or individuals with lifestyle diseases. Who knows. All in all. We not escaping this anytime soon. And the economic ramifications of this will be severe. I hope all the pdz and pdy drivers have there affairs in order yes.

No they can only go with data released by the MoH
So those are the days it was reported

Study suggests dengue may provide some immunity against COVID-19

(Reuters) - A new study that analyzed the coronavirus outbreak in Brazil has found a link between the spread of the virus and past outbreaks of dengue fever that suggests exposure to the mosquito-transmitted illness may provide some level of immunity against COVID-19.
