I have a problem not with a "curfew" but with the term "permanent". I don't think there is much of a disagreement with the need for a curfew. There is simply a significant percentage of the Jamaican population that will not abide by any rules and restrictions put in place for the health and safety of the population as a whole.
This current virus situation is a "no joke" business and the rise of the crime problem can both be dealt with in some part by a well enforced curfew but an "open ended" or permanent curfew, in my opinion, is not the solution to the problem.
