When the United National Congress, one of the two major political parties in Trinidad and Tobago, released a campaign ad touting their seven-point "Covid Preparedness and Response Plan", they probably weren't counting on Trinbagonian memers finding something amusing in their plan for "creating a dome over T&T".
@sparkleido: "On Monday 10th August, 2020 go out and vote cause we will be steaming under that dome"
@Quweina: A whole new set of jobs to be created. Dome operator, Dome inspector, Dome janitor, Dome developer, Dome manager, Dome attendant, Dome support officers etc.
@happysisyphus_: "The year is 2064. While all the other islands are submerged, TT survives rising sea levels. Thank you dome 🙂"
@Dao_D8z: "UNC leaders explaining to the nation how de Dome go build with Wakandan vibranium"
@Renard3991: "Simpsons out there predicting the future it seems...."
@valissarae: "Who paying for the dome? Venezuela?"

inflatablekiwi, more likely that Keshorn Walcott would be doing the damage these days.
(I spent about 18 months doing The Consulting Thing in T&T - many early Monday mornings at Piarco, many many doubles, and a great group of people that I had the opportunity to work with... and then there was the less happy side - a major arson attack at our place of work, and the murder of a number of people that were friends or friends-of-friends of our Trini clients).

Partially constructed in one month, and fully operational within six months... Ambitious!

It's worth mentioning that T&T have been doing a great job with keeping people safe from COVID. The number of people who have died, per million, is 10.
For context, the same number for the US is 536.
