My friend boasting on a group chat that since March, she has only worked 31 days! Averaging 5 to 6 days a month, and she is collecting full pay (17k after-tax).
She is a highly paid worker at a state company, however, that company has no remote work policy so when they home, they ain't working. Not even a phone call coming to them.
She said she has 14 days sick and 14 days casual so it's within her right to stay home Tuesdays and Thursdays when her roster is scheduled, giving her a full week off. Often when she has has the M-W-F rotation she'll stay home Mon or Fri.
She and many people like her are gaming this system, taking exorbitant day-offs to get full weeks off. She said everyone at her company is doing it, also because they have very little work too.
I blame them yes, but in what day and age can office workers not work from home? They've known about this pandemic since March.
In America, they have the American Dream. Work hard, become successful, enjoy life.
Here in Trinidad, we have a dream too. That lady is living the Trinidadian dream.

I don't know why people expect covid to spread much on the beach.....it will only spread if you intermingling with others (who not in your group) closely on the beach. How many people do that? Not many at all, people typically go in small groups and family limes.
As far as socializing goes, liming with your partners in the beach is far safer than going over to their house.

Our dumbass govt keep copying other countries and their restrictions. We Trinis don't use the beach like those whites in Miami and California. We go to the beach and stay in isolated groups of family members and friends. If anything the risk of catching COVID on the beach is much less than in an office...

Hello DPD,
Hope you are healthy and safe my good lad.
This is very true, and you could not have said it any better.
However, another concern that we must be wary of is the increased commuting on the roads due to the beaches now open.
Let us all note that there will be more ppl bar hopping and spreading germs on the bar counters and washrooms etc.
Nevertheless, there will intermingling especially with the younger generation. Trinis havent seen other Trinis in a while at the beach whether it’s family, friend or “kinda knows” and everything is a lime and a rum does kill everything attitude.
Any place that encourages the consumption of alcohol and congregation is a potential safety hazard as it physically and mentally impairs those participating, thus increasing the possibility of reduced precautionary hygiene measures.
Remember, all they need is one jackass to start a spread, unfortunately there will be many of them.
We will see how this goes.

so when all them social distancing every man walking with they own bottle ah rum and bowl ah ice? everyone touching up the bottle and pushing hand in the ice and spreading the covid. the pm and cmo say social distancing not physical distancing meaning it not only important to stay away from each other it means to stay away from everybody socially as well. means doh hug nobody, no bonks, no phone calls, no nutting, no liming be socially distant and stay by yuh self and duck everybody. physical distance means we sit six feet apart and be socially close drinking we run, chatting etc, but social distancing means nobody aint seeing or hearing from me until they find a vaccine.
