My arrival experience

" telling tourists not to come down"
Lisa, in Canada we are told repeatedly to "stay home", "stay home", "avoid all non essential travel " in order to slow the spread of Covid 19 and avoid a situation such has developed in the US.
Makes sense to me.

I was repeating what Jamaicans born and raised here told me as I arrived and on a regular basis...the ones that are reliant on tourism to feed and house themselves and their families.

While having to deal with Covid like the rest of the world...Jamaica is trying it's best to not starve it's people either.

I certainly have empathy for a country that's between a rock and a hard place.
