Barbados: Murder Rate Worry
We had a double murder this week and last night quickly added another to the number of murders for 2022. It must be obvious there is a positive relationship to increase economic activity and other factors the analysts peddle.
What the blogmaster fears is that we mirror the US and other developed societies by becoming desensitized to the horrible act of murder. Another worry is that many seem happy to allocate the problem to the government and Barbados Police Service. We forget that the perpetrators of the crime were raised by Barbadian families.
In other words, it calls for a collective effort from our little society to arrest the situation. Isn’t obvious that politicizing this and every problem will not solve?
Here is the latest murder stats from @caribbeansignal.com.

TLSN….me thinks that COLD BLOODED MURDERERS….are not finding it as easy to escape like before…people are waiting patiently for arrests in this one.
“A firestorm of fear ignited in Malta this week, when one of the admitted conspirators in the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia, George Degiorgio, told Reuters that he intends to spill the proverbial beans, regarding who was behind the murder, to reduce the long prison sentence he expects to receive. Whilst he did not specify whom he intends to name and shame, the consensus of opinion centers around three prominent individuals.”

RE So what’s going on at QEH that patients are reportedly being denied discharge in
Ward B6
Ward A2
Ward B5
Wards C5, 6
NICU
If there is a bacterial or other outbreak…..LET THE PUBLIC KNOW…
THIS IS BARE RUBBISH AND CONCENTRATED BOVINE EXCREMENT AS IS TO BE EXPECTED FROM THE AUTHOR OF THIS POST…WHO PRETENDS TO KNOW ALL BUT KNOWS ONLY ABOUT……….I WONT SAY AT THIS TIME
THE QEH CAN NOT DENY ANYONE DISCHARGE FROM HOSPITAL. UNLESS THE PATIENT HAS BEEN REMANDED THERETO.
A HOSPITAL IS NOT A PRISON
IF A PATIENT WANTS TO LEAVE HOSPITAL FOR ANY REASON ALL THEY MUST DO IS SIGN A SELF DISCHARGE FORM THATS IS ALL.
THIS IS TO ALLEVIATE THE HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATION FROM ANY UNTOWARD EVENT THAT MIGHT BEFALL THE PATIENT. ON THEIR DEPARTURE.
PATIENTS ARE ONLY OFFICIALLY DISCHARGED FROM CARE UPON THE SIGNATURE OF THE ATTENDING PHSICIAN
WHERE IN THE WORLD DOES ANY HOSPITAL (EVEN IN AFRICA -THE FOUNT OF ALL KNOWLEDGE AND EXCELLENCE) RESTRICT DISCHARHE OF PATIENTS IF THERE IS A “BACTERIA OR OTHER OUTBREAK” WHAT THOSE ARE?
IS BU NOW A PURVEYOR OF FAKE NEWS?

A critic of yours lamented the unfair twinning of Barbados and South Africa.. Pethaps Malta wpuld be a fairer comparison. A country which is hideously more corrupted than Batbados-only by a small measure!
Daphne Caruana Galizia’s spirit remains a beacon in a world that has lost its soul.
