At times I wish this was WW3 rather than a global pandemic of this magnitude. https://globalnews.ca/news/6758870/coronavirus-spring-breakers-mexico-texas/amp/ To me this is more of a reminder that Mexico is going to go boom. I don't plan another trip there until well after we have a vaccine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, all we can do is continue to try to educate people and continue to encourage people to be their best selves by being our best selves. Do unto others and be the change you wish to see. Yeah, Should not could. I guess it's part of human freedom to reproduce, despite the planet suffering from all these humans. I would love the population to reduce, just not in this manner. Preventative so there is obviously no suffering. Though if we all insist on unregulated breeding, one thing I would heavily support is no unsupervised access to the internet until the children are 16. I find the influence of the internet on developing minds immense and often negative. Raise them better so the ridiculous amount of us can live in harmony with the planet and each other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its also a matter of whats the alternative? we just don't have the ability to police everyone. On Q2 - Deb and others have pointed out YVR was a gong show at times. Thats a place where I want to see some real changes made moving forward. Was just talking to a lady who just arrived back from New Zealand a few days ago (she is still in quarantine). Due to rerouted flights she came through YVR and then to Calgary. She couldn’t believe the difference as to her Calgary was not talking it nearly as serious with many of the shops still open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But these people were university age folks. They just didn't give a $&!# that they were taking risks that will hurt others. Isn’t this the age when they know it all? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coronavirus infects dozens of University of Texas spring breakers who chartered plane to Mexico https://www.foxnews.com/health/coronavirus-infects-dozens-of-university-of-texas-spring-breakers-who-charted-plane-to-mexico Problem is most of them are young enough that they will probably get it, feel little no side effects, and spread it to others and just shrug it off as "oh well didn't both me much" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 1 hour ago, AlwaysACanuckFan said: The two main questions imo to ask is how many of those stranded/returning passengers actually self isolated once they returned. And what kind of screening measures or directions were in place in airports, YVR for example. And this is the key. I have heard lots landed and hit up costco etc on their way home, others I know that are friends, came back and had friends drop off food before or after they got home so that they didn't go around and potentially carry disease and spread it unknowingly. Parents have friends who were in Switzerland (I think) to watch their son play hockey since early February or something just before the season shut down and they had my mom come and stock up their fridge and freezer with food a few days before they got back just for the chance that they could have it. They went straight home and anything that they have needed they are asking friends to grab and just drop off for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"we didn't know, we didn't realise the risk, all our friends were going on the trip'. Despite the pleas of the entire world for social distancing. I would imagine that parents helped these kids to charter the plane in the first place. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister went to Costco for them, I went to grocery store. They're in isolation for two weeks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
