predictions for next Tuesday numbers?

Hinds did say the trend is something like 50s, then low hundreds (which is where we are this week), then high hundreds - in other words exponential increase.

[Mmoney607]

After seeing Iwer George perform in West Mall at the the vaccination drive, I have decided to get vaccinated.

[pugboy]

so we back to watching numbers and graphs?

Its all Hype and sheit ... Go look at the actual world and T&T data .... There is no HUGE surge in cases and deaths.

[sMASH]

What ever happen, I don't want them to come AFTER the carnival superspreader to lock down and mask mandate.

If they cancel carnival, then I might accept it as they trying.

But they super spreading and want to infringe my freedoms??? Nah.

This is what will happen, as a population we have a 5 minute memory. Bring lockdown, country was cleaner, no traffic on the roads.

Carnival and fetes are not going to be a super spreader events guys, no masks indoors in schools and offices will result in a far far greater number of cases.

But yes let's blame carnival.

Also vaccines won't stop cases but it'll ensure when you do get it, it'll be like a mild cold, so definitely get boosted if you haven't got covid or the vaccine in the last year.

But remember when you coulda get lock up for going on the beach and when they open it back it had police with big guns patrolling to make sure people was wearing mask and six feet apart.

[redmanjp]

With 94% immunity their would be no need for lockdown but I can see the mask mandate coming back perhaps even before Carnival. XBB 1.5 will be the dominant strain by early February.

I would like to know what the seroprevalence is among seniors though. Might be much lower depending on the vaccination rate among the same group. If you have grandparents encourage them to get vaccinated or boosted. How does that affect you? It's what happens in hospitals that will influence public health regulations and their age group are the ones ending up there.

A man say if you high risk or if you have high risk people at home, this carnival is not the carnival for you

What's your point..it was the promoters association president who said that.

[MaxPower]

Team,

Note carefully that your PM distinctly said that new Covid measures are not needed “now”.

Your PM still urged citizens to be cautious for the Carnival period.

We know what to expect from the citizens, so if the virus turns out to be deadly, then crapo smoke allyuh pipe.

It should be ok though.

You are satisfied that he is saying that attending carnival events can result in people's death? You ok with that? Who ded ded?

We done spend 147 million to paraphrase what the PM said in the press conference "Who dead dead"

Obviously you are comfortable taking public health advice from a fete promoter, you really need to stop imitating your political leader and stay out the rum shop, in that way your IQ won't fall even more than it has.

[redmanjp]

So Dr. Richards confirmed that roughly 50% of hospitalized cases are incidental i.e. came in for non-covid reasons but tested +ve. as opposed to primary cases where they came in for covid symptoms. are there also incidental deaths?

[adnj]

The original purpose of tracking COVID+ hospitalizations was to follow the number of COVID isolation beds available.

Unless the percentage of incidental admissions varies wildly, the total number of COVID+ admissions is still a valuable metric that can be used as a leading indicator of COVID causal factor deaths.

The flip side to having half of COVID+ hospitalizations being from incidental causes is that the calculated survivability of COVID causal factor hospitalization has proportionally decreased, also.

That fete promoter was in a ministry of health video saying that he took the vaccine to protect his sister. So the ministry of health deems him credible to speak on health matters

[pugboy]

interesting stat, kinda implies lot of ppl could be walking around fine and but positive asymptomatic

So you as an adult, assuming at least secondary education and assuming some modicum of common sense, going to take pandemic advice from a fete promoter? Well you might as well take family planning advice from padarath. You are obviously cherry picking quotes from here and there to support your hate of the government. Your posts lack substance just like the pro PNM posters.

If true, it is NOT proof. It is only anecdotal evidence.
