This aint your daddy's flu. Its more contagious than flu, spread by asymptomatic patients unlike flu, and more deadly than flu.

"The patient's infection was travel-related. However, steps are being taken to prevent the risk of community spread."

The airport "fever sensors" didn't catch her infection?, because they can't. Cruise ships, airplanes, and airports, are germ farms. And this germ is nothing to ignore. Asymptomatic people can spread the virus for weeks and kids are the mosquito vectors for it - they present almost no symptoms while infecting others.

Until every country goes full out Wuhan-style and locks down everyone for a month the virus will spread beyond belief. Italy finally got the memo. It appears that the leaders in the states are going to stand around with their ^%$#@ in their hands until the riots start.

Let's hope that the Jamaican leaders wake up soon. EVERYONE entering the country must be quarantined for 2 weeks. Harsh eh. You can do it now or wait and do it when the health care system has collapsed upon itself.

So you think everyone entering the country must be quarantined for 2 weeks? Why would anyone want to pay for a vacation when they can just get on a plane; land...and stay for 2 weeks at government expense?

How long do you think they would have the funds to pay for that? Wouln't it be cheaper and more effective to close all ports and airports to all tourism?

No need to light your hair on fire yet.

Just my opinion
