EmilyM Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 6 minutes ago, Jimmy McGill said: why would you waste scare testing resources on someone who's got the symptoms? you know what to do, stay home. you should be following the proper procedures now, it doesn't matter if you live in Kerrisdale or Killarney, people are allowed to go out and get food, etc. You have to assume its everywhere. Its just a waste of BC CDCs time to get into the weeds like you want, it doesn't change what you need to do, and might cause problems. Agree. The last thing we need is for people to feel they're in a "safe" zone and drop their vigilance. That doesn't mean I want everyone living in fear, I want everyone living in caution. Just look at what some young kids are out doing when they feel they're in the "safe age zone". I don't want to see the same with people thinking they're in the "safe geographic zone". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you feel ill, stay home. take your friend, she needs to stay the heck home. We just don't have the resources to test everyone so its on you to act responsibly, the gov't cant do it for you. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to see the same with people thinking they're in the "safe geographic zone". I dont agree, everyone should be tested, symptomatic or asymptomatic and everyone should wear masks. Learn from countries like South Korea, Japan and Singapore. These half ass measures wont do anything and it has same consequences as Italy, Spain and US. They should be contact tracing every case and do everything possible to flatten the curve. The economy has tanked so I dont get all the half ass measures taken place in Canada, especially at airports where they ask a couple of questions as their method of screening. If they dont put strict measures because they are scared of infringing on peoples freedom and rights ,they will regret it in a month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all of us would stick to the isolation protocol where one person gets out once a week to get food or the ones that must go out to provide essential services, we can definitely defeat this beast in less than a month! following on my previous post to you we will not really defeat it but delay it it will likely return again in another wave after a number of months this is just how viruses behave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt people listen and they care mostly about themselves. Canada is no different than Italy, Spain, US etc. People are people no matter where they are so we need tougher restriction. Now is not the time to go soft if you dont want this to get out of control here in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am all for ramping up testing measures and for stricter enforcing of isolation. My response was only towards the potential backlash that may occur with the release of community numbers giving certain communities a false sense of safety while their residents could still be asymptomatic carriers.

Would be interesting what his opinion would be if he gets infected. But imagine how much more skewed his opinion would get if he happens to contract it and is one of the lucky ones who only experiences mild symptoms.
