Covid 19 and Economy Fatigue ‘Virus’ Spike

The COVID 19 virus is wrecking havoc on the Barbados landscape based on the number of infections experienced in recent days. Our worse fears are being realised with 92 reported infections listed in the recent dashboard. During a press conference yesterday authorities advised current trajectory if left unchecked could see 500 cases of Covid 19 infections daily starting as early from next week.

Another interesting revelation from the authorities is that unvaccinated persons AND children are showing high on the infected trendline.

Source: Barbados Government Covid 19 Unit

Here is a simple bit of advice to Barbadians, unvaccinated AND vaccinated people – follow the rh Covid 19 protocols – wear your mask properly (not under your neck or with nose exposed), practice good hygiene by washing your hands and avoid rubbing eyes and nose, and keep your distance (in other words, assume the person standing next to you has the virus, especially if they do not belong to your household bubble).

A look at the Covid 19 charts compiled by BU resource Lyall Small and updated to BU Sidebar to the right of the BU Homepage – the data paints the worrying trend. Unlike all the many armchair experts the BU blogmaster cannot offer definitive advice EXCEPT to follow the guidance of the medical fraternity.

The blogmaster will resist being prolix because of all the writing posted about COVID 19. In summary, our rate of COVID 19 infections is spiking, we need to arrest it because our fragile economy does not have the capacity to withstand the sustain shock given the demands on it. Kudos to the government for building capacity in the healthcare system to manage a large numbers of Covid 19 infected people. We have the Cuban and Ghanaian nurses who will have the opportunity to earn pay.

The fear of the blogmaster is with a general election approaching political rhetoric from all sides will not help to guide the thoughts of a local population caused by COVID 19 and flailing economic fatigue.

    We are in a pandemic that is making people very slick sometimes forced to crossed the mortal coil and this is the best some f you can come up with? We should wait on an official response to yet another video posted to social media. Because someone recorded a video and share it does not make it accurate.

    @ Cuhdear Bajan

    Agree with you 100%.

    What you’ll also notice with those types of videos is, the ‘video tapers’ are always quick to emphasize they support the particular political administration they’re criticizing.

    And, some people are silly enough to believe and post to BU, whatever is reported in the videos as TRUTH, without even bothering to verify the accuracy of the information or credibility of its source, simply because it falls in line with their specific agenda.

    Cuhdear Bajan, the individual who said, “YOU WERE NOT THERE,”…………… WAS NOT THERE EITHER, and, until the information is verified, their argument is essentially based on ‘HEAR SAY.’

    Recall about 2 months ago, when a popular ‘BU regular’ posted a FaceBook video to BU, in which its presenter was heard saying, “Dis is tax payers’ money and de gov’munt billing pig pens fuh people to sell outuh……..”

    The ‘BU regular’ went on to argue what was presented in the video was TRUE, while using a similar argument that ‘no one would make a video and put themselves out there.’

    According to the ‘regular,’

    “Take note the actual or near timing of the video COINCIDES with the Auditor general report. Hence the video was of recent. The citizen reporter repeatedly says that his questions stem from WHAT WAS WRITTEN in the Auditor general REPORT about the PROJECT.”

    Construction of the new market facilities COMMENCED in September 2020.

    And, the recent Auditor General’s Report was for the financial year ended March 31, 2020. To be precise, it was an audit report of government’s financial activities for the period April 1, 2019 – March 31, 2020.

    Although the ‘political fodder’ that was being presenting on the issue as FACTS, were RESOUNDINGLY REFUTED, the individual continued down the ‘rabbit hole,’ making themself look stupid in the process.

    This example is one of the reasons why I do not immediately believe any written or video taped information I read or see on social media.

    Covid is clearly very infectious, 218 million, 177 thousand 9 hundred and72 cases since December 2019 or thereabouts.

    4,527,975 deaths

    Suppose 4 billion were to catch covid, and suppose “only” 2% of them die, that would still be 40 million people dead from covid.

    So that’s why the vaccine was developed so rapidly. Not everybody likes to see so many people die so soon. Most people are NOT like you.

    South Africa where Dr. Chetty is located has had 1,360 deaths per million people.

    Of course it can get worse in either or both places.

    I also emphasized that getting populations of people to be on guard all with the same mindset via diligence would be absolutely hard for govt to undertake

    Covid is clearly very infectious, 218 million, 177 thousand 9 hundred and72 cases since December 2019 or thereabouts.

    4,527,975 deaths

    Suppose 4 billion were to catch covid, and suppose “only” 2% of them die, that would still be 40 million people dead from covid.

    So that’s why the vaccine was developed so rapidly. Not everybody likes to see so many people die so soon. Most people are NOT like you.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    “Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally, taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year. CVDs are a group of disorders of the heart and blood vessels and include coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, rheumatic heart disease and other conditions. More than four out of five CVD deaths are due to heart attacks and strokes, and one third of these deaths occur prematurely in people under 70 years of age.”

    That is 4X the amount of deaths due to COVID!!

    Heart disease seems to more infections!!!!

    @David

    What it means is we wasted precious time putting all our eggs in the vaccine solution and must now focus on early treatment and prophylaxis like we should have been focusing on from the very start. Vaccines were never going to stop it, basic virus science stated coronaviruses mutate too fast so any vaccine will always be playing catchup by the time it gets tested and mass distributed.

    It also means the longer it takes you to catch it and get real natural immunity, your likelihood of serious illness or death increases if a new variant emerges that is more transmissible than delta but more virulent especially if it evades the current vaccines. The South Africa Beta variant from last year evaded the vaccine but was not more transmissible so that variant never became dominant like Delta has.

    It also means Sweden got it mostly right and the rest of the world got it mostly wrong. Look at Sweden’s graphs on worldometers csite and you will see their pandemic is over. They will probably be the only country to currently have herd immunity.

    Our medical experts must figure out how to treat it cheaply at all stages and do it fast before the high cost of maintaining quarantine and isolation facilities permanently bankrupts the country and we come a real Banana Republic in November under President Mason and PM Mottley and China takes us over.

    Neither the Barbados government nor the Bajan people have ever “put all our eggs in the vaccine solution” so it is EXTREMELY DISHONEST of you to say so. No vaccine was available in Barbados during 2020, or during January 2021. The Barbados government encouraged the people to practice hand cleaning, social distancing and mask wearing, and the Bajan people largely complied. Vaccines became available in February of 2020 and the MAJORITY of adult Bajans have presented themselves for the vaccine. The government is still actively encouraging people to clean their hands, wear their masks, and to keep their distance, and the people are largely complying. In addition the government is encouraging people to get vaccinated and people are mostly complying. The Barbados government has NEVER asked the people to stop using the measures used in 2020. In addition the Barbados government has from the beginning of the pandemic instituted early treatment for all infected people and people have presented themselves for early treatment.

    I did look at Sweden’s graphs on worldometers csite and what I saw tells me that if Barbados had done as Sweden did, we would have had 1440 deaths by now, instead of 50. Give me some names and addresses, and genders and colurs and ages of the people whom you wish to be deaths 51 to 1440.

    And why don’t you advise Sweden to do as Barbados has done? Don’t you believe that a rich white country can take excellent advice from a poor black country?

    P.S. In spite of Sweden’s high Covid19 mortality it is unlikely that Sweden has achieved herd immunity, since according to an earlier post of yours “everybody” will eventually get covid and at present only about 10% of Sweden’s population has been infected with Covid, which means that without vaccination 90% of their population is still vulnerable to infection.

    You are not understanding what I mean by early treatment and prophylaxis. Encouraging people to wash hands, mask and social distance is prevention. Putting people in quarantine and isolation is containment. Prevention and containment measures are not early treatment or prophylaxis.

    Early treatment and prophylaxis is giving exposed people a specific set of drugs and supplements known to help prevent disease progression in most persons.

    Protocols may have changed since last year so don’t quote me but people under quarantine or at Harrison’s Point are only monitored to see if symptoms get worse and their oxygen level drops before true treatment is started.

    Looking at raw mortality rates is misleading for what I am trying to get across.

    Look at the trend lines on Sweden’s New Cases and Death graphs and compare to any other country except China(bogus numbers). You will notice their death trends don’t follow the new case trends unlike other countries where death trends up or down a week or two after cases rise or fall.

    That indicates there is some significant level of herd immunity or very effective treatment at play and I don’t think they are doing anything significantly different when treating compared to the other countries.

    He said good diet and exercise will give the body a better chance of defending itself. Nowhere did he say it would stop a person from catching a virus, only to survive it and minimise its effects.

    I was led to believe that a balanced diet and adequate exercise gave us our best chance of staying healthy, including our immune system.

    So… does getting the right amount of the right nutrients and ensuring that we move our bodies have no health benefits?

    Do healthier bodies stand a better chance of surviving a viral illness?

    It has been discovered that even some cases that do not display the obvious symptoms of covid still suffer from less obvious effects internally.

    If this is so, it would certainly suggest that early treatment may be a strategy worth investigating, even when a person appears to be asymptomatic.

    I think our current strategy is to isolate those who test positive but not to treat them unless their symptoms get troublesome.

    It seems that our response has not changed to keep up with more recent findings.

    That does not mean that we should not also use the vaccination approach.

    AND, some masks, distancing and handwashing have been tested and proven to reduce the chances of catching the virus. Some of the virus gets through the mask but not all of it because some will stick to the fibre. Standing apart gives more of the virus a chance to go its merry way with the air before it reaches us. Since catching the disease depends on how much of virus we breathe in, any reduction is welcome. Never mind that it hangs about in the atmosphere. It may hang about in a more dispersed arrangement so that one person may not breath in enough of it to get infected. Remember that it may be only one or two infected persons breathing the virus into the atmosphere.

    Washing/sanitising our hands reduces the occurrence of viral transfer from our hands to our eyes, mouth or nose.

    I do not understand the controversy. Keeping one’s distance from a person who has the common cold was accepted practice from childhood days. It worked. In a classroom of children only those in close proximity caught it. Handwashing also worked Why not now?

    All these strategies work TOGETHER, not to stop all transmission but to REDUCE the number of transmissions.

    We are reducing the odds, thats all.

    “HOW EXACTLY DOES DIET AND EXERCISE STOP SOMEONE FROM CATCHING A VIRUS?”

    Retired Big Head Know-It-All Doctors like you know nothing about TCM Traditional Chinese Medicine and Indian Pranayama breath techniques and philosophies and should do a deep dive to build up your knowledge which is well lacking.

    Qi (Chi) Energy and Prana (Breath) moves around your body and clears up all blockages that cause health issues and sicknesses.
    When you make mindful breathing the single point of focus in all your movement as an internal practice then you are moving the chi or prana energy around the body in all blood circulation to organs muscles ligaments tissues bone marrow lymphatic system etc to build immunity and resistance.

    the powers that be have been giving out information about side effects, risks, dangers and deaths from vaccines
    and also about variants and effectiveness of vaccines wearing off

    it is all about looking at things objectively not subjectively

    efforts to end lockdowns and open up economies restarts the waves of infections and the cycles continue

    we are in halftime with the virus and score is 2-2

    Ding!

    This is your wake up call

    It is time for human beings
    (spiritual beings having a human existence)
    to evolve into the healthiest best versions of themselves

    forget about your chronological age and throw it out the window
    and work towards making your biological age younger
    starting a daily gentle exercise routine (that will become more challenging) should be practised religiously
    this is not a religion it is science
    but a belief in it when following it has been proven to achieve best results
