    Let's hope other countries (USA, UK, et al.) don't follow suit!

    Unfortunately, the latest stats for Jamaica are not trending well and new covid cases are on the rise. I hope it turns in the other direction soon...

    Uk,

    Testing services in Jamaica have been increasing exponentially, the more testing, the more positive and negative results. If any country tests more, there must be an increase in positive cases. That is obvious as well as misleading.

    A more reliable stat is the mortality rate. Based on per million, the USA is at 1344 per million. Canada is at 521 per million. Jamaica is at 116 per million. Jamaica is over ten times safer than the USA and almost exactly 5 times safer than Canada.

    Due to the increased testing, on Wednesday there was 194 new positive cases, 2 deaths, on Thursday there was 27 new positives, and 1 death.

    On Wednesday there were nearly 1600 tests, 1385 negative... some showed no result and have to redone.

    On Thursday there were 483 tests, 456 negative. Testing numbers truly mean little...

    If you are into stats, the https://moh.gov.jm will keep you busy....

    Hi Rob,
    JA (and Negril specifically) has really responded well to this spike in cases and we will see the positive effects down the road . I’m still optimistic and look forward to our trip in June!
