With our latest surge in COVID cases in Barbados, and the related panic and rumour on social media, I thought it might be useful to add some context and perspective.
I have compared the Barbados figures with those for Stockport in the UK where my Barbadian wife and I lived for 30 years before we retired to Barbados. Stockport has a population of 293,423 (2019 estimate) which is close to the 286,641 Barbados 2020 estimate.
Stockport is a Borough in the North West of England just outside Manchester but has not suffered as badly as some areas in the region. The reasons for that difference link to socio-economic factors for the most part, as Stockport is a relatively wealthy part of the North West.
