Mid-March is quite some time ago. In any case I hope the $1000 eases your financial situation a bit, as it is intended to edit... also that $87K limit and my comments were directed at individual people making that.. which is not your situation having a family/dependents Do you have some sort of numbers in front of you that show that's a large number of people to justify your stance? I suspect it would be rather a small percentage not worth your indignation. As @Sharpshooter noted...judge not lest we be judged.

I have a bridge for sale for you....... The city of Toronto is rolling back its contact tracing efforts as the city grapples with a backlog of coronavirus infections. The cases are rising so rapidly that contact tracing just isn’t possible now, experts say. Although contact tracing is effective in combatting the spread of the virus, when cases start rising, it becomes difficult to implement unless there are proper resources. “At its core, (contact tracing) absolutely works,” said Alon Vaisman, an infectious disease and infection control physician at the University Health Network in Toronto. “But you need the resources and to do it quickly. If you can’t do it within a 24-40 hour window, it becomes almost impossible. https://globalnews.ca/news/7388215/contact-tracing-becomes-impossible-coronavirus-surge/ Edited November 23, 2020 by kingofsurrey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted the article since most people are probably looking forward to some christmas cash, myself included. When it is tax dollars at work we are all entitled to judge how they are being utilized... as they say opinions are like .. everyone has one. Thankfully I have no worries about being evicted but I appreciate the sentiment.. we are all in this together.. hopefully hockey starts back up in January and we can all rejoice in that 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guidelines make sense for organized sport. Perhaps some people don’t understand the different reasons behind different guidelines for differing socialization at this current time. having family and friends over is where the bulk of transmissions are occurring, that's why they are restricted where other things aren't 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingofsurrey Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 My rec ice hockey team is backing playing games next week. 10 guys per dressing room having a few post game pops afterwards... Totally permitted . Yet mom isn't welcome in my house this week even with a mask and socially distancing... BC's covid rules make ZERO sense so people are not following them..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's the NDPs fault lol Not the thousands of people at gatherings and not safe distancing or using hand sanitizers....what about the people who have contracted the virus and refuse to isolate? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Businesses and workplaces have been following the guidelines and making their areas safe for several months now. Not so much at home though. Laughing, hugging, yelling, crying and general merriment without masks, social distance, hand sanitizing is a magnet for Covid 19. Add some drugs and/or alcohol to the excitement and there's another outbreak. 1 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
