Let's hope other countries (USA, UK, et al.) don't follow suit!
Unfortunately, the latest stats for Jamaica are not trending well and new covid cases are on the rise. I hope it turns in the other direction soon...

DAMN!! I heard that today on the news here. Looks as if I won't get there now until Christmas - fingers crossed.
Uk,
Testing services in Jamaica have been increasing exponentially, the more testing, the more positive and negative results. If any country tests more, there must be an increase in positive cases. That is obvious as well as misleading.
A more reliable stat is the mortality rate. Based on per million, the USA is at 1344 per million. Canada is at 521 per million. Jamaica is at 116 per million. Jamaica is over ten times safer than the USA and almost exactly 5 times safer than Canada.

Not sure of the accuracy but this site shows a big drop in cases in JA yesterday .
Due to the increased testing, on Wednesday there was 194 new positive cases, 2 deaths, on Thursday there was 27 new positives, and 1 death.Quote:

Can’t believe Trudeau. Makes no sense, just indiscriminately hurts countries like Jamaica that have been taking strong precautions to keep visitors and locals safe. Many of the Canadians we’ve spoken to will stay if they can. Safer here without all the lockdown and isolation in Canada. Hope US doesn’t follow Trudeau’s senseless autocratic grandstanding. Layer upon layer of restrictions and then he locks up the whole country. We’re so happy to be here in Negril, and it’s helping restore our physical and mental health after being locked up for so many months. Very grateful that the Jamaicans have taken all reasonable precautions, rolled out good testing facilities to accommodate US and Canadian restrictions - and that we can feel safe here and contribute badly needed dollars into our home away from home.
Thank you for your support! As you can see everyday - you ARE making a difference to the Negril economy and well being!
