Act wise!

Dear Editor,

It's not my thing to talk politics and I don't take pride in doing so. But, while the system of governance is being blamed in Jamaica for not taking respective measures towards preventing the outbreak of chikungunya virus, I believe that the responsibility of taking precautions also lies in the hands of citizens.

How many times has the Government disappointed the nation, made impossible promises and ignored serious issues such as this? As a nation we need to wise up. No matter the party they both the same.

With that said, and as the Heroes' weekend approaches, we have significantly forgotten the reasons we celebrate this. Just as how the Government is being blamed for pushing our money in their pockets, aren't the party promoters doing the same thing? Has anyone taken into consideration the health risk of hosting public events?

Yes, you can stay home and still end up being sick, but I'm just trying to say politics is politics, it's a money-making thing. We must, however, #actsmart, #thinkwise, #move quick.
