Well we are still all dealing with Covid. The situation has gotten a little better here in BC, however the rest of the world seems to be swirling down the toilet right now.
Cases in BC are up a bit as they relaxed the rules but it still seems that most of the cases are being imported. Right now over 1,000 people are being told to self monitor and they now have over 107 confirmed cases. All caused by 6 tourists from Alberta.
Everybody is getting tired of the restrictions and more and more people are ignoring common sense. It doesn’t take much to realize that wearing a mask protects you and everybody around you. Social distancing is something that is going to stick with us for quite a while.
The service industry is going to have to reinvent itself, and going out is going to get a lot more expensive. Right now you can have a group of six maximum in any venue that is open. People complain when they can’t push the tables together for their big group. They are threatening the staff in the establishments.
Sorry folks I don’t want to die because you are an idiot. The establishments should call the cops and have them all charged with endangering the health.
The media had done their part in this mess as well. Photos of the Costco line-ups taken from an angle that makes you think they are jammed together when if you looked at the lineup from the side directly you could see two cart lengths between people. A photo of a crowded beach take from ground level looking like there is no room to walk when a drone photo from overhead shows four or five meters between groups.
However others see the crowded photos and figure they can do the same. and that is when the problems start.
My favorite resort down in Cancun is open again. An I would love to make it down there however Mexico is not handling Covid well at all. Even if I could get a flight down when I got back I would have to Isolate for an additional two weeks. Having to take three weeks off work for one week in the sun is just not worth it.
I hope everybody Stays Calm, Stays Safe and Stays at Home.
