Brave new world
We are in a brave new world. Before March, 2020 most people in the western world believed they were part of the free world. The COVID crisis demonstrated once there is an emergency you have no rights; just privileges that the government give and take away.

Belize and Jamaica have taken that to the other level where an increase in crime, mainly murder, is a state of emergency. I thought crime was a social ill. If it is and only the symptom is suppressed in the long term it will get worse as it has in both countries. This kind of state of emergency is palliative and not corrective. Poverty, breakdown of the family and moral decadence has to be fixed.
