Time to look at positives! I heard today that Jam has 1 case and she is quarantined. Also, Jamaicans wont even walk in the rain. I know that myself. Dang, if i try to educate. Nope! Lets plz not get crazy! For perspective—- as a nurse with an accidental needle stick, i got tested for a bunch, HIV, Hep C, TB. I received false positives on 2 lab tests. Hey, have nothing! A gf nurse friend of mine also received false positives. Thats a year of anxiety. Let’s put this into Perspective. After all of that, not so worried about a virus. Be careful and concerned, yes. Freak out, no.

First of all, there are two confirmed cases now. Won't even walk in the rain? a joke? I don't know where in Jamaica you go but where I go they all walk when they need to walk regardless of the weather.

An anecdotal personal case can not be extrapolated into this scenario. Good for you that you have nothing.

Agree that this is no time to freak out but, to not worry about this or any virus because of what you went through doesn't apply to the rest of us. I am concerned for Jamaicans especially in Kingston where the population is generally poor and crowded together in less than perfect living conditions. This was the same scenario that made both Zika and ChikV such a problem.

again...my opinion.

My group have decided to cancel for now, mainly because we do not want to bring anything in, and we do not want to be responsible for that in a country with such limited health care, I pains me not to be down there spending my money for the benefit of all the great people who serve us.

We are going to ask Idle awhile to rebook us for the summer .

I think person-to-person transmission is a much bigger problem than a mosquito vector - especially when asymptomatic people can spread it. Hopefully this thing stalls with sunlight and warm ambient temperatures.

Warm temps do not kill this virus, it can survive 3 days in 98 degree temps.

Warm weather does help because as humans we are not all huddled together indoors but spend much more time outside and except for baseball etc. we are usually further apart preventing transmission.
