Health Minister: No Significant Threat from Human Metapneumovirus

Health Minister Sir Molwyn Joseph has sought to calm public concerns regarding the human metapneumovirus (HMPV), confirming that the virus poses no significant threat to the people of Antigua and Barbuda.

Addressing his Cabinet, Sir Molwyn highlighted that while cases have been reported globally, including in the United States, claims of a major outbreak in China are overstated. He emphasized that there is no credible evidence of an outbreak in China warranting border closures.

The World Health Organization (WHO), he added, is actively countering misinformation about the virus and its alleged global spread. Sir Molwyn noted that no country has implemented extraordinary measures in response to the situation.

The Ministry of Health continues to advise residents to remain vigilant but assures the public that there is currently no risk of a pandemic.

  1. Explain to the General Public why no Rooms at Sir. Lester Bird Medical Center. Many People saying they have never seen the said Hospital has no Patient Rooms, not even During Covid 19 ; Covid 19 Patients Rooms were Available…. Explain “Dat” Mr. Minister.

    Me OutSide!

  2. When it gets out of control, y’all take a hard line with the citizens by mandating experimental vaccines in order to work. The Chinese authority is hiding the magnitude of the outbreak; it’s the same thing they did with covid in the its early stages. The WHO can’t be trusted either; when it’s something in Africa, their bring on the fear porn early; when it’s China, they cover until it’s blatantly obvious. Don’t worry — get ready!

  3. Poor Molwyn. He does not have a clue what is going on. It might mot be a pandemic but something very serious is in the air For weeks now the doctors offices and pharmacies have been crowded with people having what seems to be a terrible flu. But with a cough that does not go away. Heavy bronchial problems that sometimes lead to bronchitis and phneumonia. Sir Molwyn forgets that this is a small country. We have eyes and you cannot lie to us when we see different. Instead of lying he should be informing and educating people what to do to possibly avoid this infection. The first is keep away from crowds but then that may affect One Nation and that is the reason for lying. Again he is out of touch. Antiguans will not miss an opportunity to jump up even if it may cause them to get very sick.
