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

[Dohplaydat]

Dr Hinds has said he predicts 1000 cases by the end of the month which is very scary to think about.

The actual number of infections is higher. The projected detection rate in TTO has been about 20% for this year.

Agreed, Detection rates are typically 10-20% based on previous studies.

I'd say we in for 500+ today given the amount of testing i saw happening these last few days.

^ you can remove your mask in a safe zone

Yea you can amongst strangers in a safe zone. Yet in a vehicle with your immediate family you cannot.

The reason there is different.
The authorities cannot tell who is family or which vehicle is a PH etc

So maybe we should do things that make it so that less people die?

[aaron17]

[pugboy]

miami carnival is open to general public of enclosed in stadium ?

Hinds said 56 of the 1437 who died were vaccinated , that's about 3.9% which is good in my opinion. I feel we might see daily cases in the 1k range when SOE lifted , avenue was pumping last weekend , could only imagine what going on now.

[pete]

I don't think we will ever actually see that many cases unless our testing capacity has been increased a lot.

The other thing to consider is that deaths follow the cases by 1-2 weeks. 1-2 weeks ago our case average was around 280/day and we now are having 12 deaths a day. 1k cases a day could mean 40+ deaths a day and that's not even considering ICU capacity being far exceeded. Could be way higher.

[widdyphuck]

This country ain't making it all the way to Carnival.
January if we fortunate.
Tomorrow night is real party.
No more SOE

In the last 7 days our daily average tests has been 2350.

To get over 1000 cases we'll need a positivity rate of 42%

And testing capacity can increase more given the private labs, so it's definitely possible we can come close to 1000 recorded cases.

[KM_2NR]

I could be wrong but Monday which is usually the lightest day had the highest cases ever recorded at 403 , I can't verify if a Monday prior had a higher figure but if that's what's to come I am genuinely concerned because most data thus far paints a very grim picture , especially with the SOE being lifted , Christmas will act like Easter weekend and drive those numbers up again , Easter weekend was definite a super spreader weekend/event. WHO confirmed that 99% of global cases are Delta which is pretty much the most contagious strain so . . .

That look like beat up? Just stating that 1000 cases is a possibility.

I honestly couldn't care less if 1000 more unvaxed die. My concern is that they using up all the medical resources needed for others.

[pugboy]

it appears that the new testing shops in the last few days have opened up a lot of capacity

the places in woodbrook dont seem crowded at all with these increased cases.
dont know if the govt centres are very crowded.
and also there are many private doctors doing home testing.

[hover11]

Hey at Least cases dropped
