Dengue fever in T&T, and there is no cure.....

The health ministry says its epidemiologists
have confirmed three deaths from the hemorrhagic form of dengue
and are investigating two others.

Chief medical officer Anton Cumberbatch tells reporters
that roughly 600 people have been sickened,
so far in 2010 of the milder, typical form of the flulike illness
spread by the bite of a common urban mosquito.

Recent wet, hot weather has created ideal conditions
for the Aedes aegypti mosquitoes that spread dengue fever.

Avoid dem female Mosquitos.....
Clean out stagnant water and garbage.
Mosquitoes will multiply, if they find dirty and stagnant water.
Inspect sisterns and add Millions (not in Black tanks).
Dispose off your garbage.
Use Coils and Repellent (OFF-Citronella) Mosquito net.

Maybe eat Garlic and Vitamin B1 (thiamin)?

Grenada paid to support whaling?
The Sunday Times newspaper said it had carried out
an undercover investigation that exposed Japan’s bribery.
The revelation yesterday came ahead of a meeting of
the International Whaling Commission (IWC) later this month,
when Japan is expected to push for an end to
the 24-year moratorium on commercial whaling.

The newspaper said that reporters, posing as representatives
of a billionaire conservationist, approached officials from
pro-whaling countries and offered them an aid package to change their vote.
According to the article, the governments of Grenada,
St Kitts and Nevis, the Marshall Islands, Kiribati,
the Republic of Guinea and Ivory Coast
all entered negotiations to sell their votes in return for aid.

The meeting was held in Morocco and NO agreement was made so far.

It did not specify the particular aid, if ANY?
that Grenada and St Kitts received.

Carriacou Freeport Update

a Brazilian technical team has spent two days visiting Carriacou.

They examined the landside and waterside capacities of the Dumfries area.
If it is determined that the initial site is suitable for development,
the next step will be the formulation of a site master plan.

A Brazilian technical team will visit Carriacou from April 8th
to conduct a development suitability study for the proposed free port to be set up.

The team is from Urbaniza, the Brazilian company that has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU)
with the Government of Grenada for the port development project.

The Teamwill collect data on site boundaries, topography, and other physical conditions
affecting the proposed site of the project at Dumfries.
They will also look at the landside and waterside capacities and other factors
that will determine the feasibility of Dumfries as the project site.

Don't worry, local Contractors and Labours are ready!!!

Carriacou free port agreement signed

The economic landscape of the 13-square-mile island of Carriacou is about to change
with the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for the development of
a free port and container port project on the island.

Senator George Prime, Minister for Carriacou and Petite Martinique Affairs, signed on behalf of the government.
A free port for Carriacou has long been talked about by previous governments.
Against this background, the Minister described the MOU signing as
“significant’’ and “critical’’ step in building an economy for sustainable development in Carriacou.

It is estimated that the project, which will include a 15 acres functional container port catering
for commercial vessels of between 20,000 and 40,000 tons,
will create more than 1,000 jobs in the first year of construction.

The free port, which would lead to the marketing of Carriacou regionally and internationally as a business centre,
will also incorporate warehouses on a 150,000 square foot area and a duty free shopping mall.

Dr. Christiane Bromeny signed on behalf of Urbaniza, Brazil

HOPE is green.........
and Don't worry, local Contractors and Labours are ready!!!

H1N1 is coming back ???

Old people doh get the virus (they got it in 1958?)

Symptoms are like seasonal influenza and may show
fever, lethargy, lack of appetite, coughing, runny nose,
sore throat, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

Tamiflu and Flu injection still works?
but maybe virus will mutate and then we need new stuff......

Practice general preventive measures for influenza according to WHO:

Avoid close contact with people who appear unwell and have fever and cough.
Wash your hands with soap and water thoroughly and often.
Practice good health habits including adequate sleep, eating nutritious food, and keeping physically active.

How do I care for an ill person at home?

Separate the ill person from others, at least 1 meter in distance from others.
Cover your mouth and nose when caring for the ill person. Either commercial or homemade materials are fine, as long as they are disposed of or cleaned properly after use.
Wash your hands with soap and water thoroughly after each contact with the ill person.
Improve the air flow where the ill person stays. Use doors and windows to take advantage of breezes.
Keep the environment clean with readily available household cleaning agents.

If you are living in a country where there are infections follow additional advice from your national and local health authorities.

What should I do if I think I have the illness?

If you feel unwell, have high fever, cough or sore throat:

Stay at home and keep away from work, school or crowds.
Rest and take plenty of fluids.
Cover your mouth and nose with disposable tissues when coughing and sneezing, and dispose of the used tissues properly.
Wash your hands with soap and water often and thoroughly, especially after coughing or sneezing.
Inform family and friends about your illness and try to avoid contact with people.

What should I do if I need medical attention?

Contact your doctor or healthcare provider before travelling to a health facility, and report your symptoms. Explain why you think you have influenza A(H1N1) (for example, if you have recently travelled to a country where there is an outbreak in humans). Follow the advice given to you.
If it is not possible to contact your healthcare provider in advance, communicate your suspicion of infection as soon as you arrive at the facility.
Cover your nose and mouth during travel.

Mr. Tillman Thomas say: "We are blessed with a low crime rate,
so border detection and border control are very important to us!" and for Tourism....

"This also means that as a country, we must look inwards and begin to do things better."

"In 2009 we must strengthen our productive sectors like agriculture. We must begin to supplement our income by eating what we grow and growing what we eat. We must ensure that we lower our food import bill by utilising what we have in Grenada and finding ways to process the extras and export it to other countries."
