let’s face it...people everywhere want to get back to living their lives:

21 Jan: Jamaica Gleaner: COVID-positive tourists a small percentage, Dyer contends
Tourism Enhancement Fund (TEF) Chairman Godfrey Dyer is hitting back against reports of increased numbers of hotel guests testing positive for COVID-19, arguing that those visitors who are confirmed to have the virus are only a small percentage of Jamaica’s total tourist cohort at the affected facilities.

Speaking briefly to The Gleaner on Wednesday, Dyer said that there is no need to put special emphasis on the fact that overseas visitors are testing positive for COVID-19.
“The criticism against hoteliers is very unfair, as it is less than two per cent of the tourists who stay in the hotels who have COVID-19. You cannot use that as any major thing, and it is unreasonable, and it should never have been done,” said Dyer...

The RIU Ocho Rios had confirmed 55 guests as having the virus, as were 12 guests and two members of staff at Sandals Ocho Rios. Fourteen COVID-19 cases were detected among guests at the Bahia Principe Resort, while there were guests stricken at Moon Palace, five at Sand Castle, and four at Majestic Villa.

---- "...Dyer contended that those numbers represent only a small fraction of the thousands of tourists who visit Jamaica annually..."

Small fraction is right! There has been almost no significant pandemic in Jamaica except in the media hysteria and globalist manipulation.

As of 21 January 2022,

( 2,561 "official" Covid deaths in Jamaica / 2,981,116 Jamaicans ) x 100 = 0.086 %

Less than one hundredth of one percent dead from the "PANIC" pandemic over two years.
