Thanks Rob. We are in a similar (but not as bad) situation here on the Southeast Coast of Florida. The tourists are mostly gone and those that remain are sheltering in place for the most part. Restaurants are closed. Beaches are closed. And...the worse part...people are not being tested in sufficient quantity to totally reopen the local economy.
I feel for the local business owners both here and in Jamaica. The ones that have been around for years and years will be able to survive for the most part.
Our supermarkets are raising prices as well. No or little toilet tissue or sanitizing wipes. Very poor selection of meat and chicken at higher prices. Nothing really "on sale".
I am waiting to plan a return trip until I see more stability with both the virus as well as the way the BOJ handles the monetary policy. I don't expect to see a lot of the newer businesses when I eventually return.
My best to you and Lisa
