I read in the Observer that they are setting up heat scanners before the immigration hall when you get off your flight to see if you have a fever. Well, you have to do what you have to do.

That is the first step toward shutting down the border. That step (the heat scanner thing that is) is pointless because it is too late. Which means shutting down the borders will also be pointless, if and when they decide to do that. Am I saying Jamaica should do either of these things (screen passengers, shut down borders)? I don't know, that depends on your definition of "should". But I do know the 2 questions are the same (i.e. "should they screen people?" and "should they shut down?"). In a few weeks all of you as well will see that they are the same question.
I am watching with interest how this develops. Because I care about Jamaica. And I care about myself. And I care about the whole world. I claim all 3 of those are also the same thing. If you don't agree with that statement, again wait.
BTW they are also doing the heat scanner thing in Kingston. I knew that already because my wife is planning to fly into Kingston. The Observer article the OP was referring to also says it http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/lates...avirus_crisis_
Follow the money. The money don't care about people's health. Hence they will install a fever sensor and give people a false sense of security. The govt is putting tourist dollars ahead of public health. People showing zero symptoms have tested positive after spreading the virus to others, especially young people. Sooooo they may be carrying the virus and present a normal body temperature. If someone arrives with the virus will they send EVERYONE on the plane back?Originally Posted by pabloalto
They got three options:
1) close the border
2) quarantine everyone who arrives for more than 2 weeks
3) test everyone upon arrival
Anything less and the virus will inevitably be in Jamaica.

Your logic is correct but you didn't run it to its final conclusion. All 3 options will fail. Why; Because they have already failed. Why? Because the virus is already in Jamaica. How do I know that? See the first paragraph of your post.
How do you know that the virus is already in Jamaica?
The first paragraph DOES NOT state otherwise.

Are you kicking me out of this forum?
Why would you be kicked out, you said you have more information about this and the government, so I am simply asking your sources of this info.
If this is true, please relate the source.
Thanks man!

I am not posting "false information". I am posting my deductions. You may think my deductions are incorrect. My deductions may in fact be incorrect. But since I have an advanced degree from Harvard (mathematics) and have studied and/or worked professionally in computer science, biology (evolutionary and population biology (which includes epidemiology)) ... my deductions are more likely to be correct than yours, Rob. However I do thank you for replying to my post. And for being a moderator on this forum.
I didn't post any deductions, I posted the facts.
If you want to post your deductions, please qualify them as such. To state your deduction as a fact, you are posting false information no matter what your degrees...
