    • Do you really think? It is not funny at all.Covid-19 is alive in Antigua like all places around the world.You folks had better take it seriously.

Me na work fu government who workers get pay ebery month. Me hab bill fu pay morgage dey bank and one 6 year old pikeny fu feed.

      • You’re so correct. COVID should be taken with the utmost seriousness because it is deadly, comes with high morbidity, potential long-term consequences we’ve yet to discover and it EASILY spread exponentially.

        I don’t understand why this COVIDIOT person has to make light of a literal life-and-death situation

  2. 1,1,1,1,1, 2,2,2,2 3,3,3 . I hate how at times they give the news with the covid cases. The details are incomplete
    Hope we dont hear the stupidity of a new U.K strain non imported and its coming from U.k

  4. Father, please forgive the dumb and ignorant fools with whom I am willed to share my island home. Like their god Lucifer, they are attracted to/by filth and nastiness just like common flies, seeking to contaminate every thing and everyone they touch.
    Father, in your mercy, condemn not us ALL. Please continue to keep the faithful under your loving care and protection and include even the filthy flies among us. To You, God, be all the glory. Amen.

  5. 3 new cases
    Well there’s a surprise.
    If I gambled, I’d bet the next few days will have 3+ cases each.
    Sir Health thru Min Info hinted as much.

    People, please care for yourself & your loved ones, mask-distance-sanitize, always.

    • The health minister and the clown PM and the rest of the clown government know the island is teaming with COVID after they let in thousands of tourists from high disease areas over the holidays.

      The problem is there are no sensible protocols or laws in place to prevent this or to deal with what is happening now.

      We have so many sick people on the island who are not being tested and who go back to work while they are still sick and contagious because they can’t afford to lose their job.

      The government should enact a law barring employers from firing people who need to take off 14 days or a bit longer to recover from a URI.

      Also, stop letting in tourists without testing them and quarantining them.

      • Then they talk about local transmission granted some people don’t follow the proper protocols. But in the same breath you have tourists coming in with no qurantine. It could very well be them that brought it in. For what it’s worth i don’t get why some wouldn’t want a real protocol that protect you and your love ones .

        • I don’t understand the people who fight against having sensible protocols for tourists and returning nationals.

          What is in place now makes no sense.

  6. The numbers still ain’t correct.
    What makes us sooooooo lucky, when our protocols are least geared in protecting us?
    Have mercy Lord!!!!!!
