    No need to light your hair on fire yet.

    Just my opinion
    you missed my irony. maybe quarantine them in a stinky jail cell. i think everyone should be quarantined for 2 weeks upon arrival to prevent the virus from spreading - which is preposterous, hence just not allowing anyone to enter makes more sense.

    the Chinese had to go to extraordinary measures to stop the spread. the solution won't be any different just because we're Jamaican, America, or Italian. person-to-person transmission has got to stop long enough for the infections to play out, which would take about a month.

    oh wait, what would that do to the dow jones industrials index?

    Irony? What you wrote would have to be understandable first. Maybe quarantine in a jail cell....or not allowing them to enter...or do the Chinese thingy...dow jones? Somewhere there has to be a point to have something be ironic.

    To immediately jump from one known case at this juncture to destroying the Jamaican economy? Now that's ironic!

    just a thought

    Same here, mi fren. This is all so reminiscent of Zika, Ebola, ChikV, etc. where the randomness and accompanying hysteria panicked people sometimes unnecessarily. I don't know what the future holds for this virus and it is best to be forewarned and exercise caution but, at the same time, speculation and drawing conclusions based on scant evidence is counterproductive, in my opinion.

    We all want Jamaica, her citizens and all visitors to stay safe and keep tourism happening for Jamaica's sake.

    Respect.
