Kylake, thanks for the input. I therefore have concluded that I should seek out the Jamaican press, as well as keep tabs of the virus-count locally.
I don't think I have much fear of being in an incubator (aluminum shell of captive people) if I practice 'due diligence.'
How the government of Negril (yea, yea, Jamaica) is dealing with their problem, and any restrictions on arriving passengers (ie, stuck at the airport for 14 days. They would make a movie about that - stranded. LOL) certainly should have a bearing.
Sometime what is obvious is missed. That's why a word in passing can mean so much.
I'm fairly certain my friends are limiting their contacts, but people do have to go shopping, etc.
And I think back of myself just today, entertaining my 'girl day worker' for 4 hours inside my house. One does forget the seriousness of all this C-19 too easily, especially if no one is showing symptoms.
So with my latest plane ticket cancelled and not rebooked, I'll just let things slide. But for how long?
What is very, very, very disturbing is the lack of any, even if only one word postings, on this subject as a result of my plea on this board. I'm ashamed, I'm upset. I think maybe there are only 6 people on this board. I know the cities and I know the countries of the visitors to this board, and I know a few people WILL post when it is appropiate - for they HAVE on various subjects at various times. I also know I like to entertain, to share, but when the chips are down and some guidence is needed, it's hard when the inferred reacation is "I don't give a $hit about anyone else." Not even a private message. I know, I know, one should not do a favor expecting some kind of thanks, but I'll leave you with this fable, if that's the word.
Person #2 needed help but person #1 said 'that doesn't affect me, why should I bother.'
Person #3 needed help but person #1 said 'that doesn't affect me, why should I bother.'
Person #4 needed help but person #1 said 'that doesn't affect me, why should I bother.'
This went on and on till finally
Person #1 needed help and he looked around but there was no one willing to help him.
Moral of the story? If you are afraid of breaking some eggs, maybe you should have bought the cow.
Doesn't make sense? Wasn't meant to. That's the problem.
One 4 AM was fun. Anyone remember reading that?
This 4 AM was not fun.
