I see and understand the point but.... In densely population centers like Kingston, MoBay, Ochi, etc., the success overall will depend on the compliance by the people in "social distancing". Kind of the same thing as here in the US. Population centers like NYC can and have gotten out of control and in less densely populated areas like Nebraska etc. it is only a minor problem at this time. My worry is that people will leave the problem areas and go to less problem areas to escape, (NYC to Nebraska etc) and (in Jamaica) Kingston to Negril etc.
For everyone's sake, I hope all the mitigation plans work for everyone.
Stay Safe.

The US govt is 'asking' people who travel from NY to other parts of the country to SELF-quarantine. OK then. Maybe they should 'force' people to not travel....like the Chinese did, and Italy got around to doing after much damage was done.
We have local cases that have been tracked back to several high school band trips to NYC at the beginning of the month. Three weeks later they are popping onto the radar screen. Some other local cases were people that were on cruise ships. A few more cases are people who traveled domestically to 'outbreak areas'. IMO the sooner everyone is forced to lock down for 2+ weeks the sooner we all get over this. Closing high density social settings will only do so much, people need to self-isolate.
I Pray that Jamaica can keep a lid on this monster.
