If we are to judge from recent events like cricket at Kensington Oval and political campaigning – supported by utterances from the Chief Medial Officer and Minister Kerri Symmonds – the government is about to switch to a getting ‘back to normal’ mode. We must do all that is possible to address educating our children. Crop Over will fall in line.
Attached are charts for the week ending 4th Feb 2022. The major takeaways may be that the R0 chart is continuing to trend downward, as is the daily cases chart and that the Death’s and total isolations charts are continuing to trend upwards. These changes need to be monitored over the next couple of weeks to determine any changing or continuing trends. I’ve reposted the positivity chart as there seems to have been some recent interest in that statistic – Source: Lyall Small (Click image to see BU COVID 19 Updates page)

“the government is about to switch to a getting ‘back to normal’ mode.”
Yes indeed!!
No choice after Independence, Christmas, Old Years AND Elections….. Hypocrites much would they be.
Both the CMO and Symmonds are being disingenuous.
They KNOW they have zero control over the community spread but they also KNOW they have/had to the money train flowing.
Children and schools as usual have become the political and collateral damage.

Time to get children back in the classroom, says group

@ David,
No Afican Bajans protesting ?
@Hants
Do you recall the demographic of the Cahill protesters? When the upper class starts to protest- Houston, we have a problem.
There are now 169 people in isolation facilities and 12 280 in home isolation. No deaths were recorded and the death toll from the virus remains at 286.
@ David,
It seems that it is your bounden duty to link everything to DLP missed deeds like Cahill. Buh doan mine me. I jes mekkin sport. lol
The Upper class want their children back in school. It is reasonable to expect that most Bajans want the same but some may not have bus fare to get to the protest.
It is -16 C where I live and +24 C inside my living room. I am watching Bejing winter olympics.
@Hants
They found bus fare to attend political meetings.
Enjoy the Berlin Olympics.
@ Hants
“No Afican Bajans protesting ?”
With the predicted influx of 80,000 migrants, plus members from their extended families according to Frau Mia. One can say this standard will soon become the norm.
You should know how Bajan blacks are generally not permitted to hold demonstrations.
I am certain our friend, Cuhdear Bajan, will be able to answer your question. She usually has an answer for everything.
It’s not too difficult to assess what is happening in Barbados. Do some research on the numeric decline of the black African diaspora throughout South America. Several methods of mass genocide were employed to cull their numbers. This method was supplemented with the importation of millions of foreigners to gain a numerical advantage over black Africans.
Mia must be aware of the history of the black diaspora in the “new world”. She is being encouraged to replicate this method of displacement which will accelerate the degradation of her own people for thirty pieces of silver.
You have resorted to despicable behaviour of telling lies. There is no reason to lie to discuss issues of the day.
Let me say this loud.
KINDERGARTENS HAVE NEVER CLOSED AND THESE KIDS WERE NOT VACCINATED.
THUS THE STUPIDITY OF SUGGESTING 5 TO 11 YEAR OLDS MUST BE VACCINATED MUST BE CHALLENGED.
5 TO 11 YEAR OLDS REPRESENT THE LAST HOPE OF OUR REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH.
NEITHER CAN WE ALLOW THIS GOVERNMENT TO PLAY RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH OUR CHILDREN.
SWEDEN, IN THE ABSENCE OF SUFFICIENT DATA REFUSES TO VACCINATE THIS AGE GROUP.
WE MUST NEVER ACCEPT THE GOB IDEA OF MAKING ANY COVID19 VACCINE AS A MANDATORY ENTRY REQUIREMENT FOR SCHOOL.

“Consideration for other medical conditions
An important aspect to consider in the evaluation of deaths and hospitalizations would be the number of people with other relevant medical conditions, such as cancer, immunodeficiency disorders, etc.
Unfortunately, this information is mostly missing in the CDC dataset.
In the 228 deaths occurred in the age group 0-9 y/o only 7 individuals were explicitly reported as healthy (no other medical conditions) and only 9 were explicitly reported to have other medical conditions. In all other records, the information about the presence of other medical conditions is missing.
2021 US Covid 19 Death-To-Case Ratio for Age Group 0-9 y/o.
Finally, we calculate the US Covid 19 Death To case ratio in 2021 for the age group 0-9 y/o:
Deaths: 228
Cases: 1,558,386
Death To Case Ratio: (228/1,558,386) = about 0.015% (146 per million)
This means that for every million cases of Covid 19 in this age group in U.S., 146 died in 2021.
2021 US Covid 19 Mortality Rate for Age Group 0-9 y/o.
To help understand the risk in perspective, let’s also calculate the US Covid 19 mortality rate in 2021 for the age group 0-9 y/o:
Deaths: 228
Population size: 30,640,000
Mortality rate: (228/30,640,000) = 0.0007% (7 per million)
This means that for every 1 million children in U.S., 7 died of Covid 19 in 2021.
We can compare this rate (0.0007%) with the overall mortality rate in US in 2021, which is about 0.1%, to have an idea of how lower the risk in this age group is.
Final Considerations and Conclusion
Based on the numbers calculated from the CDC dataset, Covid 19 is not a significant threat for infants and children.
In 2021 (so far), for the age group 0-9 y/o, only 228 deaths occurred on a population of over 30 million.
We know that this number also includes infants and children which had comorbidities, although the surveillance dataset that the CDC made available to the public is too incomplete to infer a proportion.
To give you a term of comparison with the 228 deaths: according to the National Weather Service, around 270 people are struck by lightning each year in U.S. [4]
Panicking over the possibility that a healthy infant or child in this age group would die of Covid 19 is about as irrational as the fear that you would be struck by lightning within a year.”
On the subject of black bajans absent from the protest or lack of interest
Don’t forget their are two Barbadoes
Very noticeable yesterday was absence of police intrusion and intimidation
A well played out scenario when blacks have use protest to get messages across
BTW it would be of interest how long did it take for this group to get the permission to.protest and if the numbers allowed was in the way and manner of COVID protocols
However back to why blacks shy away from protest
A picture is worth a thousand words before and after
The march was given permission for 75 to march and from the actors highlighted the march was initiated by high end private schools where expats and minority children attend.
Kammie
Covid19 was NEVER an issue worthy of the kind of global response that we have seen. It was exploited (and created?) by the usual suspects of money-hungry demons that dominate this now doomed world of ours.
From the very beginning it was clear that with a mortality rate of .05% it was about as serious as flu, traffic accidents or falling off a ladder, and deserved a commensurate response.
Some of the already wealthiest demons on Earth were however, able to multiply their wealth many times, while the other 99.9% are now essentially broke …and about to become serfs.

Boss, are you familiar with how life works?
It is given to a man threescore and ten…. what did you think would happen afterwards (ie, after he becomes old…?)
Also,
People who are ill have always had a higher predisposition to die before their allowed 70…..since time begun!!
Nothing new so far…
So what did you want to know about old and sick people again?
@Bush Tea
The blogmaster had the inclination that a godfearing man like yourself would be partial to supporting health policy that protects the vulnerable.

Xxxxxx
However the question of blacks lack of interest in organizing protest is one that needs addressing
The simplistic answers given does not take into consideration intimidation or a system geared to push back black influence in areas of high regard seeing blacks as high risk mechanism which might derail govt policies
Looking at the way the nurses are being treated or ignore one can observed that their is much govt interference that prohibits and intimidates other nurses from acting upon what is right in their support for the nurses
Hence blacks know and understand that organized protest on their part would not gain much benefit while intimidation is at play to stop them

“Do you recall the demographic of the Cahill protesters? When the upper class starts to protest- Houston, we have a problem.”
I couldn’t tell their class …
That is because you don’t live here.
I would not advicingly or otherwise tell Blackett what position to take on this issue yea or nay
But one must becareful of a power setting precedent
One which in the future can turn over much power to any leader to ammend the Constitution at will
When the Constitution has already laid out defined laws to follow
This issue is one of such in which a PM sets out to inject power and interpretation using the word “offer “to gain political power and support
Needless to say the Constitution is legally written in language as a way forward for govt not to use political language as a sign of goodwill towards individuals groups or parties but as an aspect for the benevolence of the safety and security of all the people and country
A health care system DOES protect the vulnerable.
BUT..
Is that what we are doing by destroying our children’s future?
Of course the vulnerable should be protected. aggressively…!! But not at the expense of the young / innocent.
In progressive (UNSELFISH) societies, the old and vulnerable actually make SACRIFICES for the young and the innocent…
NOT VICE VERSA!!
We have to protect everyone Bush Tea.

“Israel is among the most highly vaccinated and boosted countries on the planet. [Yet] they are breaking daily records for Covid deaths”, tweeted Aaron Kheriaty, a professor of psychiatry who was recently fired by the University of California for refusing to abide by its vaccine mandate.”
Too many missteps and egos afraid to accept erroneous decisions are being made. Rather than accept errors at the scientific and political levels they were allowed to continue. You now have the willingly vaccinated losing trust
My opiniion
Covid-19 is complicated.
Was it a hoax? No
Was it Y2K? No.
Could it be that the “positive outcomes” we are observing is really due to the protective/preventive measures that were put in place to protect the general population? At this time, we can only guess at how bad things would be if these protections were not in place. (Cuhdear et al: please note the use of quotation marks with “positive outcomes”. They mean something).
Covid-19 is complicated.
All the Governments needed to do was to take mitigating measures against waterborne spread.
It will come out in time!!
55% of Israel’s water is supplied by desal.
The source is the sea into which all manner of runoff, wastewater and sewage goes.
Floods increase the contamination and some gets through the treatment.
Israel had floods just before cases surged.
The UK’s rivers are riddled in sewage. This is the source of their drinking water.
The UK’s problem will be smaller that Israel’s because rainfall is always flushing the rivers.
Israel just perpetuates a vicious cycle, sewage into the sea, treatment, usage, then, sewage back into the sea.
Repeat.
UK’s fate is determined by floods.
Israel’s fate is determined by Israel, floods can make it worse but it’s their source of water that is the issue.
Eventually after numerous reinfections from the water Israelis will become inured to the problem and a level of immunity will be acquired that never fully protects because of the constant reinfections.
It will spread beyond the populations supplied by the 55% desal water into those who have no immunity in which it will be a killer.
Hence the rise in deaths in Israel.

Besides, he is waiting on a bus possibly full of people some of whom may or may not be vaccinated.

TheOGazerts; You said above “Covid-19 is complicated.”
True!
Yuh figured out what’s wrong with the vaccination data yet? How to explain occasional higher percentages of sick inmates in the fully vaccinated category than in the unvaccinated category? Not just here but overseas as well?

“@Bush Tea …We have to protect the children too.”

Clearly you have clothes on the line and you looking for rain… LOL
Protect the children from what?
Were we not saying all along that it was the old people who needed to be protected? …and that children had to be masked up in order to do so?
If you force children to wrap their noses and mouths all day, why would you now be surprised that they get upper respiratory track infections?
After two years of isolation, fear and insecurity, what do you think will be the outcomes for these poor children, when even PRE-pandemic, they were stressed beyond any previous generations?
Now our teachers are sayin that they a’int going back to school unless the children take the experimental ‘vaccine’ …and that this is for the teachers protection.
We going around in circles Boss….
A clear sign of the blind leading the blind.
Don’t be surprised if the REAL trouble start when we finally get details about the ongoing ‘vaccine’ trials….
No Bush Tea, the blogmaster was defending a position ALL must be protected.
‘All must be protected’

If you think about that statement David, the folly of the Global response to Covid19 will become apparent.
Do you have ANY idea of the complexity and BRILLIANCE of the human body? …and of the inter-related, collective systems of nature in general? … VERY FEW DO. (LOL ..and those that do, speak in ALL CAPS)
The very IDEA that a bunch of shiitehounds from Pfizer or Johnson & Johnson are able to ‘intervene’ in this process to achieve positive outcomes at a global scale would be laughable …if it was not so blatantly and ridiculously outrageous.
If you want protection, …see Green Monkey’s post above….or check Bushie privately..lol
