Fighting the Good Fight Against Covid 19
The blogmaster has sympathy for small open, tourist dependent countries. Developing countries with meagre resources that were struggling to manage poorly performing economies have been struck for SIX with the onset of COVID 19 pandemic. The challenge for governments to implement policies which balance shoring up livelihoods with public health priorities is real.
The blogmaster will not enter the toxic arena of blame gaming. At this juncture it is not a constructive exercise. Unlike New Zealand, Australia and a few other countries which are commodity driven economies and can support an aggressive quarantine protocol, Barbados has been caught out by operating at the margin which conflicts with the proposal from the local medical association of doctors (BAMP). The proverbial between a rock and a hard place.
- Have we made mistakes managing the pandemic, YES.
- Did the country become complacent, YES
- Do we need to find ways to earn hard currency, YES.
- Do we need to ensure COVID 19 screening is robust to adequately protect residents, YES.
- Do we need to ensure authorities enforce laws to signal to those who compromise public health safety are penalized, YES.
- Do we need to make the local economy less reliant on services, YES.
- Have successive governments been unimaginative and lazy in charting a more sustainable economic path for the country post independence, YES.
The blogmaster could have added several more bullets to the list.
The harsh reality is that the country is ‘broke’ and to close the country again if it can be avoided to “keep out the virus’ as some promote is silly. The COVID 19 virus will be with us for the foreseeable future. Even if 100% of people take the vaccine health experts are unsure how new strains/variants may compromise the process. Even if the vaccine is 100% effective it will take possibly two to three years to immunize the global population to achieve heard immunity level. Then there is the issue of countries operating outside the purview of WHO like China, Russia…
Obviously Barbadians are concerned given the recent surge in COVID 19 positive cases. It is what it is, we have to deal with what is before us and move on. Have a look at the BU Sidebar Covid 19 Tracker and COVID 19 Update Page. Barbados is not waging the COVID 19 battle alone.
The government needs to ensure that our COVID 19 protocol is relevant/fit for purpose.
Residents need to ensure we adhere to the health protocol – wear your mask properly, wash your hands and physical distance please!
We can do this Bajans!

You are right. The president is treating CoVid as if it was a PR exercise. Let us take them on their own terms. The presentation has been awful and anyone who has worked in serious communication would find it funny.
First, we have her hogging the publicity until the proverbial begins to fly when she runs away, then when she thinks things have eased she comes forward again.
She does not add very much to the message when she is present, but gives a repeated political speech, including her favourite phrases such as we are all in this together, this is who we are, and other such nonsense.
She even commissioned a song from the moribund National Cultural Foundation as if she was an African dictator running some insignificant state.
When she was off sick, Santia stood in and did a very respectable job but was removed; Col Bostic, out of his league, did his best; then we got Dr Walcott’s task force, which again communicated effectively; we have the president back again, humiliating Dr George, the acting CMO, when he tried to confuse the public with talk about cluster and community spread.
She then brought Liz Thompson in from New York, then after one turn, the president returned again. In terms of communication theory and practice, the president is the fly in the ointment.
As I have said before, they should move the press briefings out of Ilaro Court to the ministry of health and away from her interventions.
Then we have the lost case of the president setting up a CoVid economic group, complete with eight sub-committees, all mandated to report within four weeks with a post-CoVid blueprint.
To this day we do not know the outcome of that committee or any of the sub-committees. Sadly, Owen Arthur is dead, and his sub-committee was tasked to find thousands of jobs. We do not know if he was successful; what we do know is that unemployment is at 40 per cent, a crisis in itself.
You are also right about her ignorance of economic policy; her political strength is her speechery, her one-note samboism, which at first seems impressive, but after you have heard it a number of times it becomes predictable and boring. It is the price one pays from not preparing speeches properly. I do not even think she understand the re-shaping of the global economy. Her obsession is tourism and more tourism.
On BU, and the nation generally, it is much better to dream about the things we could do, about partyism, about character assassination and getting cheap laughs. Proper policy thinking is a bit too challenging.
To call for a serious debate after two and a half years is considered unpatriotic, disloyal; it is better to talk about the lost decade, or about a bus crawl being responsible for the CoVid spread.
But we like it so; this is who we are; we are in this together.

Doc questions authorities’ reluctance to confirm COVID death – by Anesta Henry January 19, 2021
Family physician Dr Adrian Lorde is questioning why the elderly man who died at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital’s Accident & Emergency (A&E) Department with COVID-19 has not yet been recorded as the eighth person to have died from the virus on the island since the pandemic started last year.
Today, in what is becoming a weekly video of his views on how Barbados is managing the pandemic, Dr Lorde said that while the law states that persons dying within 24 hours after being admitted to A&E must receive a postmortem, the reality stands that test results showed that the elderly man had contracted the deadly virus.
Expressing his sympathies to the deceased, the well known doctor said he cannot understand why health authorities are refusing to say that the man died as a result of COVID-19.
“What else did he die from? He had the respiratory illness all the time. He is 84, yes. You want to prove it is natural causes so we say we only have seven [COVID-19 related deaths]? I know you want to calm the public and not cause any panic, but you cause more questions than answers,” Dr Lorde said.
