COVID-19 in Trinidad & Tobago (Local Updates & Discussions Only)

I dont think we will ever go back low nah...maybe 180 and below. That is it.

[wing]

managing it well. as per SOP

I see you indicated that the spike seen recently is due to SEA. Does it mean that all those kids have tested positive? If accurate, it's very concerning. Or is it the teachers and other adults? Any credible information will be greatly appreciated.

22k children + staff + invigilators stuck in the same rooms for 3hrs. thats the same amounts of time and people for the tobago easter ferry time. it WILL cause a spread... its just how far it will go.

the children wouldnt get affected, but they will carry it the adults. untill u get ur 60% vaccinated, u should not hold mass gatherings like this!

Oh ok. So you're saying that it's your inference that the spike was caused by the SEA exam, just as what happened after Easter. Also, is it possible for the kids to spread it to the adults without being infected themselves? Then the spike should be much higher then?

not sure, cant say.. too many factors to consider. biggest factor is the vaccinations.

i can say the amount of people, the duration of contact was similar to that of the easter, so u would see a spike. how much, cant say. but all those cases would be DIRECTLY due to govt action.

Are we still on curfew? The latest revision of the public health ordinance act (legal notice 195 I believe, dated 19 July 2021) does not have anything to that effect nor social and public gatherings (at least I did not see it).

Can anyone advise me or point me in the direction for the correct and applicable information?

The Gamma is from which country - Brazil. I missed where the MoH actually admitted.

While we are not being told, it seems that the Brazilian variant is rampant and a major factor in the 855 people, who have died within the past 2 months and 3 weeks.

So some protection is better than none.

they MoH officially recognized the Gamma variant is now 90+% of all the infections on the island. The OG strain straight up got git by Gamma.

Uh oh...

Look, doh lemme derail this ched, eh

Just be clear, in no way shape or form does the West (of recent) compare to China in terms of secrecy, lies, covering up, human rights violations and oppression.

China are basically as bad as Nazi's but you che Guevara fanboi sheep to gullible to realize that.

I've seen people end up in trauma bay in Sando A&E with chop wounds for calling the police to break up their neighbor party.

Good luck
