I want to hear from those of you following Covid-19 protocols

[gbk]

As many above-the "deniers"?!i also follow all the protocols,if that is the question.

If the idea was to hear from the ones silently do all what is requested,remain very upbeat about it all,and remain silent-well,there seems not to many of them, above in replies.I am really curious how this thred will turn out.

As a matter of fact -the posters highlighted over again the:-lack of common sense,the lack of logic,the lack of fairness and a lack of any ownership in these rules.
The virus is spreadin g(or so they say) and people are getting sick from it (or so they say).

So what is so great about these rules -which suppose to result all the opposite-when they are are not working?

Honestly-there is only one really surprising side effect of them protocols-communications-rules and failures: both big Parties in Canada are handling COVID with same political "success"(or lack of it)

I just came home an hour ago from picking up groceries and scrips in Courtice. Bearing in mind this is Sunday,traffic was like rush hour on Friday. Freshco,No Frills and Shopper's had 20 minute line ups. I was in and out of the Bowmanville Beer Store in 5 minutes. Our area being predominately WASP,all the line ups were solidly visible minorities. Parking lots were full with vehicles from dealers in Toronto,Brampton and even Peel. Yes,we limit our trips,wear face coverings,stay out of crowds,wash our hands religiously,limit neighbor visits to garage beers,only,and haven't seen the grandkids or our senior peeps since before Christmas. Are we seeing a decrease in Covid 19 reports? Not a furkin' chance,in fact,it's going up continually. Lock down my a**. This is Bullshyte.

Trimmer on the 7th December 2010 I lost a bunch of DEMERIT points for using that particular acronym ,I know Caltek is no longer here but you never know?

I don't shop here on any weekend Covid or not the shops are simply to busy and being retired I can go any old time.

What is it that is BS T21?

It occurs to me,that if the government was really as serious as they say they are,they'd take the problem areas and lock them down,completely,few basic necessity stores open,a 16 hour curfew,no travel outside the area for any reason with carefully controlled 14 day quarantines for every positive test,no exceptions,no excuses. That would almost guarantee to stop the spread outside the area. For outlying areas outside the control zone,keep the protocols in place where essential businesses may stay open with controlled access,all others closed except pharmacies,liquor/beer stores,drive-thru restaurants and home delivery services and keep it like that until every person has had been vaccinated. The system we're using now is worse than useless. That's what's bullshyte.

I remember the controversy. IIRC,the context in which it was used was entirely different,wasn't it?

I used the term to describe a certain organization,a member complained citing he was Catholic and BINGO. He is still a member but prefers to lurk in the background now.

J Matthews:
As we are in our 70's and have other health problems, we have been very cautious.
Go out 3 times a week to run the dog in the fields/woods- no one there. We stopped going to Timmy's and McD's afterwards- miss it.
I have been out otherwise , twice since March to go to the vet.
Groceries/drugs are delivered.
My husband is very "social" and has kept up his friendships by zoom . I talk to friend/family on the phone.
Can't turn away the street kids we help, but they need to stand at the far end of the garage while we stand in the kitchen door to the garage. No one gets a ride in the car.

Yes I'll be glad when we can get the vaccine and feel somewhat safer.

I was just a newbie on here when all that went down. Sometimes,I wondered where he went,not often,but,just sometimes.

And there is a mouth full of the truth. The only issue is that the GOVT is serious, serious about not losing votes from the GTA..... What we have is a guy looking after Ontario that clearly cares about "his" city and that's about the end of it. Don't get me wrong I'm fully aware of the pressure they are getting from the feds but still. Captain Doug is pandering to cities.

Gilly, I think it was because you're a liberal and Trimmer isn't.
Regardless, I'm not one to believe everything is a government conspiracy so I fully agree with ysyg's post way back at #2. If it helps, why not? Maybe what they're trying is right, maybe not. Anybody here have any other solution that's proven? I didn't think so.

I agree, it's wrong.
Sadly some see it as an opportunity.
