If that still doesn't work, try a different browser (that's why I have Safari, Chrome, and Firefox all installed). It wouldn't surprise me at all if the site is storing a cookie to "remember" that you already answered No.

Geezuz Marko...that's a lot of demands for someone living in a country (US) that hasn't figured out how to appropriately deal with this virus.Originally Posted by Marko
You and MissNegril seem to be one in the same (or at least similar in your thought processes).
Give Jamaica a break...they're doing the best they can with what they have & certainly have kept the numbers down better than some other countries.

That has already happened.

They are returned to their home country ASAP unless they need emergency treatment.

Geez what the hell ? I get it you guys don't like Marko , and yeah his question kind of had a little tone to it , but taking shots at the United States and calling him a troll , a personal insult , wtf!! He was asking a question and added his opinion or suggestion to it , a lot of people are leary of traveling right now and many want to for a whole bunch of different reasons but mainly their love for Negril. A whole bunch of people besides Marko live in the United States , over 331 million to be exact. I think all countries are trying their best to deal with this , but most of all every person I know is trying their best to do the right thing , it's hardly a good time to pointing fingers. Isn't this an information , or message board?
I found the comment about the US to be offensive and unwarranted...also surprised coming from you.
Good question. Is this an information or a message board? I think it is both but, foremost I think it is an information board. Rob, IMO, tries to make sure the information given here is accurate as possible which is a difficult task in itself.
Hate is such a strong word and "troll" maybe over the top but, Exasperation comes to mind. Personally, I find the patwa to be comically exasperating plus I don't get why anybody, who has a vacation planned for December, wants to push the government to open up sooner than they feel is appropriate? Plus, I don't get why someone who says the "love" Negril does the same and posts negatives about the government's response and decides to go to Antigua instead. That's fine. You want to go to somewhere else? Just go. No problem.
Jamaica has shown very good success in managing this Covid-19 crisis with swift and targeted responses. Of course, we all want our friends not to suffer from the closure but we also don't want them to get sick and die, do we? Second guess once and be done as it is not necessary to repeat it time and time again. When the rest of the World (especially the US) handles this crisis better, then Jamaica will be lifting more and more restrictions. I am here in So. Florida where we are sometimes getting nearly 4000 new cases a day. Where is our leadership here?
We may not like the speed at which the Jamaican Government is moving but the results speak for themselves.

As of today, COVID-19 deaths per 1 million population for selected countries:
Belgium 838
UK 628
Spain 606
Italy 573
USA 370
Canada 224
Antigua 31
New Zealand 4
Jamaica 3
This is a measure of the effectiveness of each countries handing of the virus. The lower number the better.
The above numbers illustrate how important it is for Jamaica to get the reopening of the borders right. All the countries that make up the majority of our visitors have a much higher death rate per million. This is not meant to insult any country, just to demonstrate that the protocols and the ones to be introduced will be done to protect everyone in Jamaica, locals and visitors alike.
Jamaica has done a great job keeping our numbers down. When you visit, please follow the protocols in place at the time.

Unfortunately, there's a large faction in the US that has a hard time with facts...
Go Bills!
AMEN! I applaud Jamaica for having done a great job! I will come when I feel safe to travel & will be happy to do so. In the meantime stay safe Jamaica(& everyone else too)
I don't recall saying I don't like Marko anywhere. I certainly did not call him a troll???
And, I stand by my comment.
He & MissNegril certainly don't have the right to demand Jamaica act a certain way & "take shots" or "point fingers" when their own country (US) is not getting it right...and just as I said at the bottom of my comment...other countries aren't getting it right either.
If any country had this figured out...we would stop losing so many people & this would be over...simple!!
Note...if Marko & MissNegril were from Canada...I would've said Canada.
