Show Notes

Jamaicans are everywhere! When I say everywhere I mean we literally dash way like salt! ( For my non-patois listeners this means we really are everywhere just like salt)

Not only are we dispersed all over the world sprinkling scotch bonnet pepper in every corner; but we also play an integral role in key sectors of society. 

Healthcare is one such area where Caribbean people shine! 

According the the US Census Bureau 2015 report , Caribbean nationals make up 16% of all the foreign born healthcare workers. We are in the frontline of this pandemic!

Dr. Michael Daley is a Jamaican Born Montegonian (Big up Compre!) who pursued a career in Medicine and now has a unique perspective working in the Emergency Care department of multiple Hospitals in the Chicago area. 

In this episode we dive into the current concerns, the impact on the Caribbean community and what to expect in terms of treatment and vaccine possibilities.
