GUEST POSTS: CARIB NEWS COVID19 UPDATE

By Gloria Dulan-Wilson

Hello All:

Carib news is one of my favorite go-to news sources when I want to know what's happening with our brothers and sisters in the Caribbean whether they are there or in the US.  The publishers, Karl and Faye Rodney are my favorite couple on the planet - a dynamic duo dedicated to keeping us informed and involved.

We just lost a mutual good friend last week, Dr. Roy Hastick, founder and CEO of CACCI  - the Caribbean American Chamber of Commerce and Industry - in NYC.  Between them, and other brothers and sisters in NYC and the Caribbean, we were able to collaborate and help each other move forward.

With this pandemic now trying to decimate our numbers, it's more important than ever that we keep in contact with each other and keep our lines of communication open.  We need to help each other and make sure we filter out the lies and keep updated on what's really going on.  

We have some natural resources that have kept us alive for centuries that we now need to begin using and relying on so that our systems are immunized and fortified - 
But I'm not going to start preaching right now - because you know me, this will evolve into a whole other article in it self.
