Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him. KJV Psalm 68:4
Being virus free is of little consequence when you cannot feed your family. You MIGHT get the virus but you WILL die of starvation...
This is a delicate balancing act. There is no government rent relief, you must pay JPS and the NWC. And then those pesky food bills...
The J$10,000 unemployed workers received lasted maybe a day or two. Some have been out of work for 4 months.
Everyone single Jamaican knew there would be an increase in the infection rate. Only those with the money to outlast the pandemic complained. 350,000 people need to work.

25% of Jamaica's workforce is in travel and tourism. These people need to work to survive. They are not getting much assistance from the government. The borders have to remain open. We are going to have to learn how to live with Covid. Jamaica has to find protocol that will work for visitors and citizens alike and to clearly communicate the policy so that everyone understands what is expected. IMO WM
