I believe that the USA had a reported case before Jamaica, because that was reported in the news. Just as on Sunday Sept. 28th, the Jamaica Health Minister held a press conference and said:
"Jamaica's health minister said Sunday that the government is doing all it can to combat a newly arrived mosquito-borne virus that is increasingly disrupting life and cutting productivity on the Caribbean island.
In a national address carried on television and radio, Fenton Ferguson said the chikungunya virus is spreading across Jamaica and "everyone is susceptible."

Holding a nationally televised and radio carried news conference being covered by the international news media including ABC News is a very strange way to "cover up" something.
The Doctor in the article you posted would have been the one giving the press conference had his political party won the last election. You have to take his comments with that perspective.
The first thread you posted was someone's opinion. The second was made by the opposition to the present government party in power. There has been an internationally covered and reported press conference.
We even had a link posted here on Oct 1st in another thread about this topic explaining St.Thomas parish seems to be having the most cases:

Even the ABC news story gives the real reasons for the under reporting:
"Confirmed cases in Jamaica are few so far, but there are many signs that the real number of sickened people is far higher than the official tally. Laboratories have only been able to confirm a small portion of people who fall ill because many patients don't bother seeking care so their cases go unrecorded. Some private doctors are also not reporting patients to the government, according to the health ministry."
With all the above exposure and explanations coming from news sources as well as directly from the health ministry, how could there possibly be a cover up?
