It was featured on a previous update as well. Note that Augustus Long Hospital has been added to the update as well.

[Dohplaydat]

they giving us the ICU numbers for arima now

Yup noticed that too and what's more concerning is that we have 11 people in ICU. Only 10% survive ICU so expect 10 more deaths in the coming week.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

they giving us the ICU numbers for arima now

Since last week I mentioned Arima

For those who I pm...the number stands @ 7 thus far eh...keep track

Another Dr. Associate of mine tested +. He was attached to mt.hope. I wont add more to his story just yet

[redmanjp]

deyalsingh say a young person went to a party, got infected, then infected and 'killed her mother'

[pugboy]

moh for a week was including figures of "nonnationals" last month

it was around 1/4 to a 1/3 of the cases reported daily during that time.....
they stopped giving those figures

I guess the only way to find out is to know somebody who is hospitalized/quarantined to give a visual
but 1/4+ of cases is not a small amount

Barbados borders open since July.
You have a number for how many Venezuelans are reporting sick with Covid or dying from it in T&T?
If they have it in such large numbers one would think they would show up in the hospitals or is it when they die from it they burn the bodies? I dunno, I'm asking.

deyalsingh say a young person went to a party, got infected, then infected and 'killed her mother'

this is an inappropriate thing for a MoH to say. This country going to have widespread PTSD when this is all over

[shake d livin wake d dead]

That's 8

[goalpost]

8 what?

[shake d livin wake d dead]

If it reaches the figure I was told about (mentioned the same via pm to two other tuners) then I'd explain. The two other tuners might take front before me. The figure im looking at ranges between 15-20.

I didnt give the entire story here because allyuh wouldnt accept it just so nah...so easy easy Id give away

he said it was the words used by someone he knew who told him about the young person- hence why i put it in quotes.

did the MoH say anything about avoiding that kind of language? that is seriously damaging to people - telling them they "killed" family members, etc. Even if it is to make a point about how serious the situation is - that should never be said or repeated.

I really don't know what going on with him these days. I know the pressure is on - maybe he needs to step back and let somebody else run the conferences.

CMO: Some private facilities require COVID-19 test before entering

Chief Medical Officer Dr Roshan Parasram said private facilities have been asking for patients to submit a COVID-19 test before being treated at the hospital, and in some cases during emergencies.

Speaking at a media briefing Dr Parasram said this safety measure was initiated by some private institutions since the beginning of the pandemic.

He was responding to a report that a patient who suffered a heart attack was required to first submit a test.

‘We have noted, not only for heart attacks, there have been some private institutions that are requiring from the start, I would say February or March, persons that have visited their institutions even for pregnancy-related matters, to have a COVID-19 test before you come into their institution.’

‘They are putting measures in place which they see as important to prevent the spread within their institutions. A lot of times in the private sector it has been happening…but in the public sector…we have different metrics by which we view and go into the parallel system.’

Dr Parasram said that he is in communication with them to discuss streamlining measures going forward.

‘We have communicated with the private sector to see how best we can streamline their process so that we don’t avoid untimely morbidity from those policies.’
