Rob, thanks for keeping us posted on the runnings on the island.
We are all on the same boat and the tide is going out. No one knows how far out the tide will go, but we are all in this together.
The world as we knew it has changed. When the tide stops receding, then we will evaluate where we are.
Jamaicans are survivors and they will survive this Pandemic. Some of our favorite Hotels, Restaurants and Bars may not survive.
I cannot predict the future, but I hope to be back in Jamaica when I'm able.
I was on a Booze Cruise in Aruba in January 1991 when Bank of New England was taken over by the Feds. This was during the Savings and Loan Crisis from 1988 to 1995 when 1/3rd of all Savings & Loan Banks failed in the US. It was a very difficult time in the US and most of the world. We used to say "Stay alive until 1995".
Somehow we survived.
My parents survived The Great Depression. It wasn't easy, but they made it through. Some of their stories of surviving have a lot more meaning today, then when they were told to me as a child.
We will get through this and so will Jamaica.
