  1. Ok get ready for this.
    Some may think it’s way too extreme but they should take him out .
    Yes that’s the solution.
    So this Ka ka moosh must deliberately escaped the hospital and is possibly spreading this to other people in Jamaica including putting other Caribbean countries at risk in today’s age of jet travel.

  2. The question is, did he go to Jamaica to intentionally spread monkey pox in Jamaica and the rest of the Caribbean?

  3. Is this theatre show not staged as I have seen too many shows where the vilian usually escape and the innocent get caught in the cross fire. I gues he is off to the next island on a private ject

  4. To make his next gold medal for infecting as many people. How did he escape without being seen? I Pray that no one will get incontact with this man/ woman.
