In reply to nick2020

In reply to nick2020

Rumor is that RiRi's USD1.4M ventilator donation to Bim has been seized by the big bad Yoo Ess Ayyy.

In reply to Cheeks

it is a fact i hear

In reply to sudden

Oh how the mighty have/ has fallen.

In reply to sudden

Aren't you worried that powen has been MIA?

I am. He is a good man.

In reply to Cheeks


as they say, rank has its privileges

In reply to nick2020

In reply to Cheeks

In reply to hotarobin

I meant how the mighty USA (Yoo Ess Aaaa) has had to resort to seizing legitimately acquired resources from a small island like Bim.

In reply to Cheeks

You serious?

In reply to Chrissy

I have some pretty reliable friends in Bim who have said so. I hope its not true.

In reply to Cheeks

The health minister said it at a press conference today on covid update.

In reply to Cheeks

in a correction, the minister of health said it is not the RHI ones that are being held up or onto but another set from a private donor

In reply to sudden

The Queen is coming up to settle the nerve of Little England....tune in

In reply to sudden

Cool. Thanks.

Bostic backpedaling faster than....


Now saying not seized but held up

In reply to FuzzyWuzzy

the USA probably warned him

In reply to sudden

2nd death.

74 year old man.

In reply to nick2020

Up to 3 now nick. 95yr old man

In reply to nick2020

are there still regular flights from england? if so it is amazing that you all managed to keep this good

In reply to doosra

Per Capita Barbados is worse than TnT.
The claim is there is more testing but there are also more deaths.

In reply to FuzzyWuzzy

And 3 on ventilators.

In reply to nick2020

Soon will be sadly 6 deaths

In reply to nick2020

In reply to FuzzyWuzzy

That will be the source of the fallout.

What every nation should have done was:

1. Shut off for tourists
2. Quarantine returning nationals away from general population
3. Curfew

In reply to nick2020

63 cases? Not good

In reply to black

For a 280K population no.

In reply to nick2020

the number of cases is mostly irrelevant....it's the number of cases requiring medical care out of the total that will be a major measure of how Barbados and the other Caribbean countries are doing. Remember Covid is extremely infectious and Barbados is densely populated so it's always going to have a high number. I expected more by now to be honest but that may have more to do with lack of testing...Barbados is not doing that badly yet...

In reply to hotarobin

The number of cases is very relevant. Because it is a highly infectious disease and because Barbados is densely populated.

If Barbados was only at 6 cases it would make contact tracing, testing, and isolation much easier.

The more cases the larger the potential exposure to the general population and the harder it is to isolate.

In reply to nick2020

This could blowup in the coming weeks.
Bim being one of the most densely populated places in the world.

In reply to nick2020

I still maintain that it's mostly irrelevant...there are likely wayyyy more who actually have the virus than these reports are showing...because they simply have not been tested....ultimately it's going to be a measurement of how the health care system that will be impacted i.e.lots of severe cases or mostly mild ones?

In reply to nick2020

I think the number of infections, are very worrisome and could balloon out of control that a small Island like Barbados might not be able to control.

Barbados has recorded far more tests than their WI sister nations except for Trinidad

AS AT APRIL 8 2020 COVID 19 TESTS, CASES AND DEATHS
source WORLDOMETER

Trinidad 878 tests 107 cases 8 deaths

Barbados 655 tests 63 cases 3 deaths

Jamaica 540 tests 63 cases 4 deaths

Caymans 479 tests 45 cases 1 death

Guyana 145 tests 37 cases 6 deaths

Haiti 257 tests 27 cases 1 death

Antigua 40 tests 19 cases 2 deaths

Dominica 293 tests 15 cases 0 deaths

Grenada 45 tests 12 cases 0 deaths

St Kitts/Nevis 183 tests 11 cases 0 deaths

Monsterrat 36 tests 9 cases 0 deaths

St Vincent 56 tests 8 cases 0 deaths

In reply to analyst-kid

So that explains the infections but not the deaths. Per capita the deaths are high.

In reply to analyst-kid

Update..

No new cases today..

939 tested..


974 tested now,no new cases still.

Oh and the Trinis stranded there all passed their quarantine..

Update

In reply to bravos

Men shoulda do like you and leff dem people stranded.

In reply to bravos

Last two days the West Indian islands nave not recorded any new cases....is this a trend or just a coincidence?

Notice Guyana on the continent has recorded 4 new cases.

World Cases Corona virus

In reply to analyst-kid

Maybe because we have a lag in updates?

In reply to analyst-kid

4 new SVG cases

In reply to nick2020

3 more in. 3 out..


66 overall 11 recovered

In reply to FuzzyWuzzy

I think immunity will become very important to get this back on track

Update Barbados 66 cases from 694 tests with 11 recoveries and 3 deaths

In reply to analyst-kid

Hopefully it means that the curve is being flattened...

In reply to nick2020

so far there is no immunity, (if u are referring to the so called herd immunity and do not mean some people are immune all together), as it appears that one can get re infected. for the moment a vaccine is the hope

In reply to sudden

4th death

In reply to sudden

The last stance I read was if you were stuck for long enough you body can develop antibodies.

This is why the next step is to identify who has developed immunity so they can return to the work force.

Dunno.

it is instructive the short me crotch comes on the MB but never posts on any of these threads. he must have been warned by Santia

In reply to sudden

I am happy to see powen is well but you seem to be suggesting he does not wear the pants in the family.

In reply to nick2020
