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

[Mmoney607]

What's you proposal?

Hopefully we would have learned enough to create a vaccine quicker and manufactured faster and that the level of antivaxxers are less

So when a next coronavirus pop up in the wild and spread to humans, allyuh just going to wait on another vaccine to save allyuh from that too?

They can't even create a good vaccine for this one that around a whole two years now

[PariaMan]

We need at least 75 percent vaccinated

So far we have only about 50 percent

To each his own on this topic. I not urging people to take something which is voluntary. We have more than 600k fully vaxxed people in the country and yet still we hitting 500+ cases daily. If vaccines so great....then there is no need for "safe zones"(which is the dumbest thing ever" and beaches to remain closed etc etc...but say what

It's good enough for the liverpool vs wolves game to.be packed with no masks

If only we could be at yhat level now

A single vaccine to beat all coronaviruses sounds impossible. But scientists are already working on one

If vaccines so great....then there is no need for "safe zones"(which is the dumbest thing ever" and beaches to remain closed etc etc...but say what

Many people miss the entire point of safe zones which are:

1. It is safe if everyone is vaccinated because if a positive person is in a safe zone, the risk of persons there getting it and dying (even hospitalized) are quite low. As you can see in many countries like the US and UK that are basically fully open, life is back to normal because of high vaccination rates.
2. It's an incentive for unvaccinated persons to get vaccinated without mandating it.
3. Allow business activity (which is critical to the economy and livelihoods of many) to continue.

Safe zones are brilliant if you think about it

Secondly, vaccines are the answer to ending this pandemic. If everyone took vaccines we won't be clogging up the hospitals leading to excessive deaths and overburdening of the health system.

So many of you might continue to nit-pick about details that 'doh make sense' to you, but many of you are failing to see the big picture. Tell me an alternative way out and I'll hear you out.

False equivalence

A simple example of a false equivalence is saying that a knife and dynamite are both tools that can be used as weapons, so they're pretty much the same thing, and therefore if we allow people to buy knives at the store, then we should also allow them to also buy dynamite.

Aids and Corona are caused by 2 completely different viruses they cannot be compared

One answer is that the political will and colossal investment that have spurred on Covid vaccine development have largely been missing from AIDS vaccine research since HIV was discovered in 1983.Basically nobody care about aids only covid so they want things to go back to "normal" so they spending behind that , aids don't matter so they not spending towards that, they have to money the research but is not a priority probably next two or three generations down

Does this factor in when mask wearing and sanitizing are in effect or simply socializing with no masks or other 3Ws ? The data is missing out important details

Less risk never translates to zero risk.

[widdyphuck]

What numbers we expecting today?

[hover11]

What numbers we expecting today?

1000/30

[PariaMan]

I will settle for 200 times less risk

But Bundesliga put restrictions. Since games even to be played behind closed doors

[drchaos]

religion seems to be a major issue as well
many people believe god will save them and they believe in god rather than medicine/science

I know plenty pastors, pundits and imams spreading anti vax nonsense. The countries that are most religious are often the least vaxxed.

Tell these idiots stop going hospital if they sick, go crowd up the church instead

Well those pastors that telling people that God will save them will be right upwards of 98% of the time.
So if you right 98% of the time people likely to trust you.

[drchaos]

What numbers we expecting today?

Does it matter? Gov freaking with the numbers ....

Daily Case numbers they sampling from multiple days that they are probably choosing.
Then with parisrams admission of not actually knowing who is dying from covid.

You are getting a PNM doctored version of the situation designed to suit their own agenda.

Nearly two years in y’all think the numbers doctored? Doctored to show what ? Less or more cases ? If you think the numbers are being doctored don’t you think either way the reality is bad ?

Yesterday was close to 1000 is it that the real daily figure out there they are downplaying as to not cause a panic?

its not bad ... Its way beyond that.

Case numbers are probably 3 times higher than they are telling you.

How about 10x less risk?

Guys..so what really going on with India and Africa based on numbers?

[paid_influencer]

Guys..so what really going on with India and Africa based on numbers?

africa in early stages of an omicron wave. India ent reach yet. Both places have strong natural immunity to previous variants but that might not carry over to omicron.

[drchaos]

Guys..so what really going on with India and Africa based on numbers?

They gonna claim that those are poor corrupt countries/Governments with poor reporting systems that can't be trusted.

Then those same people would listen to the numbers reported by our poor corrupt government/country and take that as FACTS.
