Early and decisive measures in comparison to the USA

[Don1]

All the guy needs to state is the number of tests. What’s the mystery about that?

He seems to be somewhat on top of things. Fortunately JA and other tropical locations are not as susceptible to Coronavirus as temperate or colder regions. The virus doesn’t thrive in heat so the impact is limited in hot zones. Summer will help bun it out

WHO, US Gov't praise Jamaica's COVID-19 response

THE Jamaican Government's response to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak is being praised by the World Health Organization (WHO) and America's top diplomat in the island.

The commendations came yesterday as the island completed work on a COVID-19 isolation ward at University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI) and the same day that Prime Minister Andrew Holness and Health and Wellness Minister Dr Christopher Tufton announced new measures — including crowd restrictions to no more than 20 people, the closure of bars, nightclubs, and other entertainment venues — designed to stem the spread of the virus.

“Thank you so much for your leadership — and preparedness — for #COVID19, @christufton. #Jamaica Being ready for #coronavirus is key to pushing it back fast. Together, for a safer world!,” WHO Director General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus posted on Twitter.

Equally, United States Ambassador to Jamaica Donald Tapia said in a tweet: “We want to congratulate the GoJ and the MoHW for its timely reporting of COVID-19 cases and aggressive containment strategy. The MoHW (Ministry of Health and Wellness) has shown that one of the best defenses is appropriate public sensitization on preventative methods and the importance of early case recognition.”

I can understand the US govt praising 1 isolation ward and containment measures etc. These limited measures exactly track the timeline of what's occurring in the USA now.... e.g. these measures were implemented in NYC this week.

Since the Trump admin & the USA generally is widely recognized as backward & bumbling in their responses to the virus... it looks as if some Jamaicans are happy to be in that company and will gladly parrot that stupid US ambassador Tapia.

Note that you implied that backwardness in US govt responses in your ridiculous headline

A lot of words to defend your blunt point. Again, I say, “Early and decisive measures in comparison to the USA”.

[Don1]

And again you prove yourself to be a Dummy trying to promote your tribe by a ridiculously false comparison to the USA.

Miami Herald ranks Jamaica among most prepared for COVID-19

Jamaica has been recognised among countries that were most prepared for the coronavirus by the United States-based newspaper the Miami Herald.

The herald says Jamaica, Puerto Rico, El Salvador, Peru and a handful of others responded to the crisis with forceful measures that seemed excessive just days ago but now seem prescient.

It was noted that Jamaica was one of the first countries in the Caribbean to react to coronavirus, after seeing its first case on March 10.

It was further noted that the country barred flights from hotzones, restricted the movement of tourists, enforced quarantines for all new arrivals and cancelled school, among other measures.

It also put part of an entire town, Bull Bay, on lockdown.
