Jamaica needs vaccines!

Petchary's Blog

I feel our little island of Jamaica is in an extremely vulnerable place at the moment.

We need more vaccines. Vaccine inequity, which he of the furrowed brow – Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO) – has spoken about so many times, is real. For many developing countries, including our own. The point is that COVID-19 quickly evolved from being a purely health issue to a socio-economic issue. At that point, the Prime Minister and other Ministers started repeating the mantra, “Balancing lives and livelihoods.”

The problem is, the virus does not care one jot about our livelihoods. So, despite the best juggling efforts of our Government (and no doubt others) it carries on and dashes our best-laid plans. To quote Dr. T:

“Vaccine inequity is the world’s biggest obstacle to ending this pandemic and recovering from COVID-19…Economically, epidemiologically and morally, it is…

Any Landing You Can Walk Away From…

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

Ok, P. this one’s for you (I hope it’s ok…), and T., too:

“Do you want to fly today, or not?”

Since he was putting it that way, what could I say? He did know this plane better than I did, having flown it twice a day all week, and yes, he was the one with over 1000 hours of flight time. So, who was I to quote a memorized rule book at him, a decorated combat pilot deigning to teach a snot-nosed teenager how to fly? And for free, no less.

“Yes, Sir.”

“Then let’s go.”

I throttled up, taking over officially as Pilot In Command with the ritual nod to my instructor, and announcing my take off to the open air field, even though no one else was in the pattern. My fellow students were standing back by the open office door, already pointing and starting to…

Lo escribí para usted, tras despertar de un sueño de amor

Los sueños de amor son colección de los enamorados. Se entiende que significan citas nocturnas y encuentros tan anhelados, huellas indelebles que quedan cual constancia del paso de dos locos y ocurrentes que desafían el cortinaj de las horas, miradas silenciosas y palabras pronunciadas en algún puente de cristal. Los sueños de amor son exclusivos de quienes se saben uno con el otro, libres y plenos, con identidad propia y con las llaves de paraísos infinitos. Como que tienen el permiso de Dios. Pertenecen a los enamorados que pasean en una estación y en otra, en primavera y en invierno, en verano y en otoño, cuando uno vive y duerme en el mundo y en las estrellas, en el cielo y en las piedras que cubren los riachuelos…

As of Friday, about 58 per cent of eligible British Columbians was fully vaccinated, while about 80 per cent have had their first dose.

“This is my main concern right now,” Conway said.

“I would like to encourage all British Columbians and all Canadians that the moment you are eligible to receive your second shot and that is made available to you, run, don’t walk to the vaccination centre and be part of the solution.”

Cronica unor iubiri programate

ore de drum

Bangkok, 2017

Zona hotelieră s-a dezvoltat de jur-împrejurul vechiului cartier oriental,  din fericire încă păstrat cu tot farmecul său autentic. Clădirile decrepite fac notă discordantă cu zgârie-norii. Așa cum e și firesc, viitorul ajunge din urmă trecutul.

Cu o arhitectură elegantă, aici sunt concentrate hoteluri de cinci stele, printre cele mai bune din Asia. Un job hotelier reprezintă ținta supremă a tinerilor din regiunile sărace ale Thailandei și oportunitatea de a nu ajunge la cheremul proxeneților.

20170218_175600

Angajate pe posturi modeste în orice hotel de lux, tinerele pot avea șansa de a fi remarcate de un occidental. Deși Thailanda ni se pare o destinație de vis, femeile de acolo au un singur scop, să fugă spre vest cât văd cu ochii.

În acest fel, își pot scăpa familiile de sărăcie și își asigură un statut demn, fiind cunoscute umilințele la care sunt supuse după căsătoria cu bărbații thailandezi. Însă, dacă nu…
