Local spread a real concern now

Healthcare workers who have been treating persons with COVID-19 have also tested positive for the virus, Chief Medical Officer Dr Roshan Parasram confirmed yesterday. But one of the CMO’s biggest concerns now is preventing local spread.

SO why cant caters cook food and deliver it to people... There is more risk in curbside pickup. This whole thing is not thought out properly...

They canceled curbside pick up as well so what's the point you getting at?

Stuartie and Deyalsingh did not say a word about the "free masks" that the government is supposed to distribute to the population.

Hope someone in the media takes it up.

No matter what decisions are made someone is going to be negatively affected. What you want to happen is better they try all these options early where it maybe if assistance that late where it would be too late

True. But some of those homes treat the elderly really badly when it comes to food. I know one holy place in POS where they give the residents dry bread and sausage EVERY morning. Lunch is usually some kind of chicken bone for residents who have no teeth.

Looking at it from pre-yesterday. Curbside pickup had more risks of transmission than delivery. If you have a caterer that cooks for people and deliver, where is the risk??? You don't even have to interact with the delivery man...

Drove to PoS , looks like people finally got the memo and taking things a bit more seriously , but is it too late? hopefully the country pulls thru.

It is not too late. We will get through this but the country will be a lot different after.

I think the world will be a significant place post covid , we in the midst of a major historical event that's still unfolding.

Absolutely correct! We have to wait and see what happens.

Man now asked question about the masks.

Make your own mask from home using an "old juzzy".

Gov't does not have masks to give out yet. Waiting on private sector to charge them.

People got the memo by force, not due to their own good will. Remember the public was asked repeatedly to practice social distancing and work together....this was proven to fail due to immense irresponsibility and inconsideration. Its like if we were to thank criminals for willingly going to prison and behaving....Trinidadians are not taking this seriously.

But moving forward, and more positive thinking, i dont think its too late. I think the govt did what it what it had to do, lil flip flops here and there, but that is expected as with other countries. Hey we could have been worse.

The country will pull thru, we always do but and bluefete sais, things will be different.

Saw Imbert in the pharmacy last night getting some penis enlargement pills for when this is over.......waiting for allyuh.
