#BTSpeakingOut – Question mark over ventilators?

Madame Editor, Perhaps someone can give me some answers or you can use your paper to make some enquires.

My wife works in the medical field and she cannot make any noise for fear of victimisation. But from our conversations I would like Dr Corey Forde or Minister Bostic [although it seems no one tells him anything] or Mr David Ellis, to indicate whether Barbados brought in ventilators to help with the COVID sufferers and whether many of these are lying idle because they are defective.

Does anyone have any concrete information as to who brought them into Barbados? Is there any possibility that they could have been used before discovery that they were defective?

What is the general efficacy of all the equipment being used at the quarantine centres?

These are questions, not accusations, and I hope you can elicit answers.
