The Ministry of Health is warning citizens to take protective measures as temperatures are predicted to soar throughout the week. Vulnerable groups, such as the elderly, infants, and chronic patients, should take extra precautions. State hospitals are on alert and prepared to receive any citizens experiencing problems due to the heat, with temperatures expected to exceed 40 degrees Celsius in the coming days.
King Herod of Judea ordered the killing of all male children under the age of two to ensure the death of newborn Jesus Christ, as described in the Gospel of Matthew. The number of infants killed is disputed, with some suggesting there were only around twenty in Bethlehem. The Church commemorates the memory of these victims on December 29th. In contrast, approximately sixteen thousand children in Gaza have been murdered, with the modern world standing in solidarity with the actions. Jesus would likely be appalled at the genocide and innocent murders justified in the name of fighting against Hamas.
Seven infants died in four days from a bacterial infection at Trinidad’s Port of Spain General Hospital. The outbreak occurred in the neonatal intensive care unit and the children who died were premature babies. The bacteria found in the ward were Serratia marcescens, ESBL Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Klebsiella aerogenes. Despite administering high-dose antibiotics and intensive care support, some of the babies did not survive. The ward has been treated with chemicals to kill the bacteria, and there have been no new deaths since April 7th. The Trinidad government has asked the Pan American Health Organization to assist in the investigation.
