I agree with you but it’s probably best to leave this one alone
We have a different perspective North of the border about a large number of issues and this is one of them.

As an example of perspective differences, we’ve recently recently had the largest mass shooting in our history, an unbelievable tragedy, as a consequence the Federal Government banned a number of assault style long guns, I think there were 1500 on the list. I’m not saying that this is good or bad, I’m just calling out different perspectives and our approach was different. A weapons ban of this sort would never fly South of our border.

So too with COVID
All 50 states are now open and our border is closed for another 4 weeks. People need to work. We’ll see how the next month plays out

3-4 weeks
If the rates hold consistent and remain basically unchanged. Then there appears to be no reason to panic and just continue to practice physical distance along with washing hands often.

If the rate goes up at an alarming rate then we’ll know other measures will be required.

All we can do is wait and see

Let’s hope, for everyones sake, that rates stay down and no one has to experience the levels that New York has seen.

We all need to go back to work and finding a safe way to to it is paramount until there’s a permanent fix


A very drastic and sudden increase in the rates of infections may change perspective

Please be safe everyone
