No. Why would it be? The numbers for the other countries are in the 1000's and even 10,000's infected, many in geographically smaller countries. The US has 100 over a large landmass.

Walked by a few hotels that cater to Italian's like Merills and VeraClub, those places are almost empty. VeraClub had no beach chairs out and all the dinning room chairs were staked and put away. Sad to see. This year was looking so good for the tourist industry in Negril.

I am interested to see how Jamaica reacts to the outbreaks in the US and Canada. They would be saying “no, thanks” to a lot of tourist dollars. This virus is all over the US. There has been such a lack of testing. The numbers will start to balloon once the testing catches up.

Jamaica will react in the same way as all other countries in the world. They will close their borders after it is already too late. How do I know they will react in this way? Because they are already doing it. Or starting to. See this thread https://negril.com/forum/showthread....stoms-Sangster .

I am also interested. Though perhaps not for the same reasons as you.

The numbers will start ballooning when at-risk populations are dropping dead.

You 2 said the same thing. Substitute "everyone" for "at risk" (because everyone is at risk). Think of learning of deaths ("[seeing someone] drop dead") as a form of testing. Then they say the same thing.
