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.
