Respect. That is the first thing I learned about Jamaica and from Jamaica many years ago. We need more of that in this world. The one thing I like about Jamaica is once I get there, the discussions about politics, religion ect don't seem to really be on the table. Most of us when we get there are in our happy place. My kids and I love meeting new people and hanging out with old friends. More respect and kindness for each other is what's needed in this world, not people hating on each other over differing opinions on vaccinations, covid or whatever. Irie everyone!

Beautifully said, Fargoman!

As a whole Jamaicans are very passionate in their discussions about politics etc...but also know there's a time & place for these conversations.

These are the facts:

In Jamaica, COVOD case counts are rising very rapidly, same as hospitalizations. Numbers are approaching 3rd wave numbers at a much faster rate than leading up to the third wave.

Testing positivity rates are crazy high.

Now facts, with some opinion mixed, or visa versa:

If numbers continue to rise, Jamaica may end up on UK’s red list, and direct flights may again be suspended from Canada (etc). Most on these forums would agree that this would be a TERRIBLE outcome.

You are right about Covid cases going up here. I was talking to our house keeper who said things are getting bad but she also said more people are getting vaccinated now. In fact my in-laws just got vaccinated today.

Regarding businesses the vendors are desperate which I get. It’s pretty slow now. I’m trying to help out where I can. But the vibe is typical Jamaica. People enjoying themselves despite all the crap that is happening.
