Local Microbiologist Calls for Curfew to be Extended to 28 Days

CONTACT THE BLOGMASTER ONLY

The following comment was posted by local microbiologist Dr. Robert Lucas to another blog – Bajans Jettison Social Distancing for Cheek by Jowl. The blogmaster regards it as one of the most important points shared on Barbados Underground since the status of COVID 19 was elevated by Prime Minister Mia Mottley.

David, Barbados Underground

Let me repeat what I have stated elsewhere on the Blog.

The curfew has to rigorously enforced. Once this is done, there is no need for contact tracing. I will explain.

Those who manifest symptoms are easily managed. It is person Z who comes into contact with a person (asymptomatic or beginning to show signs) and is unaware of the fact, who poses the immediate threat. By having the curfew and rigidly enforcing it, means that person Z is localized to a fixed area.

There will be more than one person who qualifies for the nomenclature Z. Since the curfew is rigidly enforced when the Zs become ill and use the hotline, hot spots are known. There will be a number of these hot spots. There should be isolated and all persons in the vicinity of the Z’ screened and placed into mandatory quarantine. No crap about voluntary quarantine.

For this method to work, it means that very tough enforcement it needed. None of this crap about human rights and individual liberty. Human rights and so on can be dealt with after the situation is under control…

Elsewhere on the Blog, I said that a twenty-eight day curfew was needed. I explain my reasoning as follows: there would be different viral incubation times for different individuals. Twenty-eight days would appear to be time for all individuals to show manifestations of the infection.

    Did i hear that one of the 35 were tested positive
    Also wasn’t there a report stating that the 35 were released from quarantine and barbados govt stated there was no need to test them since they had shown no signs of symptoms when quarantine
    If what i stated is true and knowing that the 35 stayed at a hotel together wouldnt this be a case for having them quarantine again since they were in close contact with each other
    Once again govt has stuck its nose where it should never been

    Mia done know phone-in orders on a massive scale is an even bigger fk up with pop down FLOW, all Mia doing is playing politricks/ laughing bad at the gullibility of bajans, who refused to think,🤣🤣😂, Mia has not even think about the poor, a leader would have set up soup kitchens at certain schools, a leader would ask the hotels to give their perishables to these same soup kitchen to feed the poor and vagrants, but that is not $$$, Mia cannot relate to the average man plight, she can only fake moves at election time, not even you yardfowls have the balls to make her look good by picking up the slack, all you do is attack ppl who point out the slack,

    They will learn the hard way that they have been catering to the wrong people for decades , when they actually realize that the low income people in the depressed areas are the ones who grocery shop MORE OFTEN…because they have no choice, they buy as soon as they get any money…..so they will require at least 3 weeks of available shopping out of a month to always have a continous supply of food.

    monthly paid workers, eg middle income shop once a month, those in a higher income bracket, shop every 6 weeks to 2 months….unless it’s market.

    at this time the wealthy on the island should be made to import their own food and don’t take up supermarket space or ordering slots, they have been parasites enuff on the island, or just let Seale and the other lowlifes supply them only, but stay the hell out of the majority population’s way…..so they can have continuous access to food and other supplies they will need to survive.

    it is all about the MATH dear Fowl Enuff……lawyers are not too big on math that is why they don’t do too well in that area.

    @ David.

    It has nothing to do with demand and supply, as I said yesterday it will not work because of logistics and load. It’s basic maths that’s all and clearly no one bothered to do it before enacting the silly idea.

    Go back and look at my one hour load formula and you will see it comes to 24000 items with 10 cashiers working. How the hell anyone expected 3 girls answering a phone, or a basic online service to handle this load!

    Go back and research what Amazon’s load was say 10 years back and then look at the infrastructure they had in place to handle it.

    All I am seeing here with this governments approach to food supply is one screw up after another. Also don’t let one person come and tell me nonesence about ” oh they was only trying something”. Do you dam logistics first next time. Or better yet just open back the supermarkets with the help of the defence force!

    It is government that is creating the panic buying and not a sole else. Plus if they do open them on Tuesday, watch for more confusion because the panic buying will return and last the whole week probably, as shoppers will fear yet another plan to be thought up restricting access in a few days.

    Wunna know when it will stop? It will stop when the public are convinced they will have total and free access to supermarkets. This will not happen when the plan Wednesday is A and Thursday it’s B and then today em is plan C .

    You ever stopped and asked yourself why no other country in the world closed supermarkets?

    And don’t forget, the low income shoppers ARE IN THE MAJORITY by the TENS OF THOUSANDS….that is why they will need so many weeks of shopping time, just for them alone….ask the supermarkets..

    because contrary to what Fowl Enuff thinks, ya did not grow anymore supermarkets in the last 2 days, ya still have a small number of them on the island and the majority population remains bigger than the amount of supermarkets ya have….never forget the BASIC MATH…

    WARU
    The salient point remains–in a crisis such as this online/phone ordering will see demand outstripping supply. The more you talk the more you expose your idiocy. Who do you think the packages at $25, $50 etc are targetting? Secondly, your idea of how people in what you term “depressed areas” shop is flawed and is condescending and insulting. At the end of the day, this is a health pandemic and minimising crowds is key. Go away Salemite, a cut & paste article awaits you somewhere on the internet.

    Uk supermarkets were never closed. So what happens there is that they let in a certain amount and as I goes out 1 more is let in. Because the Brits know they have free access to the supermarkets they are short lines with no panic buying.

    It is when you restrict access to food that panic starts. It is in times of uncertain policies that panic starts, as was also evident with the hoarding of bottle gas.

    Now to prove my point let’s look at the gas stations that have been left open. They were no long lines for gas were they? The reason was simply that there was no fear of lack of access to it, hence no panic.

    Maybe we should place a psychologist on the advisory board to help explaining human nature and self preservation to the policy makers.

    What is needed as well is LESS SELFISH LEADERS..here are some real leaders who can teach the selfish ones something….the ones in Barbados are particularly selfish, i remember DLP rats reducing their salaries by only a measly 5% for an economic slow down that they caused and they did not even let a couple good months pass before they repaid themselves and made it retroactive, with Donville claiming all types of shite, ah wonder what he claiming now…

    To hear their friends tell it, BLP ministers are just as bad or worse, selfish to their fatty bones..

    “Update Inside Africa: Coronavirus RWANDA 🇷🇼: NO Salary in April for Ministers and Senior Officials

    Rwanda ministers and senior officials will not receive salary in April and this money will be spent on social programs to help the poor to resist the impact of the economic crisis related to the new coronavirus, the government announced. ” The Government of Rwanda has decided, in addition to all current social protection initiatives, that all members of government, cabinet directors, heads of public institutions and other senior officials will have to give up one month’s salary (April) “, said Prime Minister, Edouard Ngirente, in a press release published Sunday evening.

    This sacrifice is intended to show the “solidarity” of the authorities with the people, in a country that has imposed strict lockdown to limit the spread of the coronavirus. “Together, we will fight this epidemic”, Mr. Ngirente.

    The government has distributed essential goods to around 20.000 vulnerable people in the capital Kigali, but the needs are immense in this country of 12 million people where about 40 % of the population lives below the poverty line.

    This Monday, at 10 GMT, Rwanda had 104 confirmed cases of coronavirus, one of the highest numbers in East Africa.”

    “Barbados through a glass, darkly
    Rasheed Griffith

    Follow
    Apr 5 · 2 min readBarbados’ successive abortions of fiscal policy has marred its economic prospects. Although economic diversification was on the “agenda” for decades it never materialized.
    And then the inevitable happened.
    COVID-19 fired the kill shot to Barbados’ tourism sector. And the government tried, in vein, to delay its inevitable collapse by subsidizing the tourism sector with the health of the entire population.

    Even an optimistic prediction suggests that global tourism could recover in 10 months after the outbreak is over.
    Now that tourism is gone so too is the economy.
    If it is indeed the case that the tourism sector has collapsed (even if it is just for this year) this means that many of those people currently employed in that sector will be unemployed.
    The population of Barbados is just shy of 286,000 people. The employed labour force as of 2018 was 126,000 people. The tourism industry directly employs 18% of the labour force and indirectly employs 53%.

    Barbados’ unemployment rate for the last 5 years has hovered around 11%. But like every other “unemployment” metric I suspect that 11% is artificially low. If you are not looking for a job (i.e., you have given up because there are none) then you are not counted as unemployed. A collapse of the tourism sector could mean that the unemployment figures will surge.
    Persons that work in the tourism sector do not have the option of “working remotely” or doing work “online”. No tourists; no work; no income.

    How will they be supported?
    Barbados’ welfare system is practically non-existent. According to IMF Article 4 reports, for every $1 the Barbados government collects, 45 cents is spent on paying pensions and public sector wages. The government is effectively broke — slogging through paycheck to paycheck. The economy is so hauntingly unproductive; government expenditure is so confoundingly stretched, that the country has no fiscal room to adjust to this situation.
    COVID-19 is not the cause of an economic crisis in Barbados. COVID-19 merely unveiled the crisis that was already present.

    as you like googling and the example of Mauritius so much go and Google ” closing of supermarkets in Mauritius a major mistake”. When you done there Google the statement by Navin Ramgoolam on how civil servants there were paid only to find supermarkets closed. Now when you done there Google the chaos there experienced when the supermarkets were reopened.

    You mean the one example you could find to feature mirrored here in terms of failure and chaos.

    Also they are 195 countries in the world you know how many closed their supermarkets besides Barbados? Yep 1 more and that’s the one you chose as your example. LOL

    An option for the government to consider is California and make the wearing of a mask compulsory at the supermarket. It is accepted that the supermarket is a hotspot for contracting the virus.

  33. John A Avatar

    @ DAVID.

    Yes that’s is an option or do what Mauritius ended up having to do after all the confusion. They reopened the supermarkets and allowed people to shop based on the first letter of their surname. Which incidentally was suggested to them BEFORE they closed the supermarkets, but they refused to entertain it then. They then had to come back and implement the same recommendation 2 weeks later.

    JOHN A you have prosecuted this supt closure relentlessly but have you stopped at any point to ask the basic question like why the govt thought this drastic step was necessary ??

    Based on your formulas and cashier-order logistics are you so convinced that the order and delivery process cannot settle down to accomodate the consumer needs??

    This is different and it’s surely stressful and who knows maybe it’s also a diabolical plan to move Bajans to an e-commerce platform to benefit some group of people but putting the last opinion aside I hope the govt persevers and get this limited-contact shopping process to work over next two weeks.

    Being the only country closing supts can be an awesome example of what’s possible…if they planned properly and this was not a half-assed program.

    As noted many expect the Barbados positives and hospital inpatient numbers to explode shortly and the govt would be absolutely incompetent if they do not ride out this wave of discontent with the supt closures and aggressively fight that surge… They messed up before and have to aggresively fix it now … so give them some wiggle room.

    If they reopen supts in less than two weeks I hope they have a damn good reason…beyond upset shoppers….because this inconvenience of waiting extra hours on a phone or extra days for foodstuff pales SIGNIFICANTLY to NOTHING if cadavers start to increase or numbers of Bajans start to head down to the old naval base.

    Simply said…this angst over food shopping is MISPLACED.

    At the onset of the covid-19 pandemic the private sector in Barbados made it clear to our government that the country had to remain open to business.

    Fast forward a few weeks and we now have an announcement from the Chairman of the Private Sector Association of Barbados Edward Clarke (a member of the minority community) advising the government to have a complete lockdown of citizens except for: patients attending the hospital and things of that nature (sic); citing his fears that this would be the only way to block the spread of this virus.

    You may question why this dramatic U turn from this particular individual and his rump of an organisation. Perhaps they have at looked at the economic international landscape and have concluded that the game is up for them. The Barbados economy has been tailored over the years to accommodate them. They have had a cosy relationship with either of our governments whilst under paying and mal treating their employees.

    It is evident to me that they are nervous of the future as we enter a period of uncertainty. Mr Clarke probably resides on a large plot of land with room to stretch his legs. He does not live cheek-by-jowl unlike the majority of his Barbadian citizens. Mark my words his words are a reminder of the old Barbados where a black man was all but barred from walking through Bellville after a certain hour of the day.

    His U-turn reflects a fear from his peer group. They (The Private sector Association) have instructed the government to have a complete lockdown of the island for their benefit. It looks like the natives are to be punished and to be kept under virtual lock and key in order to accommodate the personal interests and fears of this minority group. Please tell me that I am incorrect in my analysis.

    Sainsbury’s
    In a letter last week to customers, the supermarket’s CEO said: “You will have seen that we put restrictions in place this week to ensure that more products are on shelf for longer.

    That is how the SHITEHOUIND MINORITIES are in Barbados, believe they should always be calling the shots to benefit themselves only, and the black face corrupt, idiot governments always allow them to do and say as they like as it regards the wellbeing of the Black population, they are probably trying their best to manipulate the situation to stay in control so they can live FREELY OFF THE BACKS OF THE MAJORITY POPULATION WHOM THEY HATE, the racist garbage. Not one black face leader came out to put this piece of trailer park trash in his place, the sell out negros….as usual.

    “(a member of the minority community) advising the government to have a complete lockdown of citizens except for: patients attending the hospital and things of that nature (sic); citing his fears that this would be the only way to block the spread of this virus.”

    They better believe the game is up for them, but the no good government has to be watched, selling out their own people resides in their bloodstreams…..they love to see parasites living off their people as long as they get their CUT.

    “Perhaps they have at looked at the economic international landscape and have concluded that the game is up for them. ”

    From ya saw the government suddenly shut down supermarkets and refuse to budge despite knowing it was the most stupid thing to do, no one else in the world did it, ignoring the fact t that they must remain open, ya know the filthy minorities have a hand in that…..lock down the population so they can’t move and buy enough food to survive…and see how else they can control everything through the black face sell out negros, they have been doing it for decades and have it refined to an art form, but watch what will happen during this plague.

    Any abled and even some disabled persons can purchase what they need within 30 minutes, and that is for large shopping, most people only pick up a few items…EVERY COUPLE DAYS…beccause that is all they can afford…and how they can afford to shop….every couple days translates to 3 or more visits to the supermarket PER WEEK..

    ..Supermarkets have to ENFORCE… strictly NO BROWSING and NO INCONSIDERATE SHOPPING as many Bajans are known to do, leaving their carts everywhere to hamper others from moving quickly…..and acting like they have never shopped before…

    I told yall the lowlifes believe they have CAPTURED SLAVES for their tiefing minority partners so the popular sentiment would be to keep them locked down and the fowls came out for me for saying that, but i know when to chill that bottle of wine..to enjoy the SHITSHOW..

    They are also nervous because they, just like both governments know, that they are the ones who have been importing and trafficking the guns and drugs on the island for over the last 3 decades, destroying the same depressed communities with their government contract to build prisons for black people while they profut frim theur drug and gunrunning protected by taxpayer paid traitors in the parliament…they know that they all WANT LOCKING TO HELL UP…both them and their sell out negros.

    “so exactly HOW LONG are those 25 dollar to 150 dollar packages going to last a household of 4 or 6 people …oh great genieass…a whole month right??”

    Wuh kinda argument this Abigail? Are there restrictions on the number of packages per person? No! So people can order to suit the size of their pocket and family. Secondly, are the stores only opened once a month or week? No! Thirdly, is one barred from ordering or buying additional food from the other options available? No! Today’s paper proves this–some take the packages, some don’t. Fourthly, yuh earlier stated “low income DEPRESSED AREAS [should] get their groceries FIRST however you do it, they shop more often because their INCOMES REMAIN NEAR POVERTY LINE…or below”. Now you’re arguing that the packages can’t last a month. Regular shopping in Bdos means weekly not monthly. You’re contradicting yourself because you’re a pick-a-noisette and scam artist!! Stick to cut & paste.🤣🤣🤣. I have had enough sparring with you, stay safe, read more, listen even more and talk, far, far less.

    Also they are 195 countries in the world you know how many closed their supermarkets besides Barbados? Yep 1 more and that’s the one you chose as your example. LOL

    POINT IS —– THE INFORMATION YHAT YOU WERE PEDALING IS NOW PROVEN TO BE FALSE

    AS A ” I DOES ONLY DEAL WITH FACTS” MAN ……………..

    now there also a few cities India some with population greater and less than Barbados that had also closed their supermarkets – but they did it for only two day. yes I used that example because that was the closest to whats going on in bim . and yes its a country while the other are cities…but compared to Barbados thay too are comparable.

    becareful what you LOL at!

    Do we know if local supermarkets hired additional staff to attempt to respond to increase demand?

    Try keeping the supermarkets closed that long, until a vaccine is found ya DUMBASSES..

    that, with an ever MUTATING AND HIGHLY ADAPTABLE PLAGUE can take years……months if we are extremely lucky, but it is difficult to get the slave minds for leaders and fowls to grasp these simple things…

    “Although control policies such as physical distancing and behavioural change are likely to be maintained for some time, proactively striking a balance between resuming economic activities and keeping the reproductive number below one is likely to be the best strategy until effective vaccines become widely available,” said Wu.
