I've heard they'll be contained to their hotel, designated restaurants/spots, etc. Not just free to roam...but I could be wrong. That seems to be the case yes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to Chilliwack yesterday.... saw very very few people wearing masks.... B.C. has been pretty good, as has Canada as a whole compared to the States. I personally don't care where the hub cities are, but it makes sense to go to places that have fewer cases. It can of course get out of hand pretty quickly though. Should that happen, and the NHL maintained to keep its players/staff isolated, I'm sure we'll all be thankful for having some hockey to watch while we're stuck inside.

Waiting in line outside in the blazing sun. A couple behind me. Masks. Professors (asked later). In front, some dude being a dude. Another dude dude comes up and dudes it up with the other dude. No mask, talking as if it they were at a concert, proudly talking about how they’ve been going to parties and there’s one tonight at (whatever the address was), “yeah they were giving me beers and we were passing joints...” ...but then the dude comes near me still talking loud and just takes over my space. His bike was there you see. Still talking loud, spewing droplets in the air, he unlocks his bike and slowly converse his body back to the other dude, leaving his bike there, still talking about how this party tonight will be lit. ...still talking, not caring one bit as to his environment which includes and elderly couple with masks on, me with a mask on, the fact that we’re lining up one meter apart, and that there’s only one customer at a time inside the store, everyone else walking in the neighbourhood trying to consciously navigate their body amongst other bodies. I tell you, the second wave will be spectacular. Edited June 11, 2020 by Me_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole of Hastings should be cleared. As in humane as it sounds, the humanity of care and relocation is better. There should be a serious program concerning the matter. It is alarming to see.

skategal Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 A big challenge among street drug users right now is the toxicity of the drugs. I've seen signs up all over at places where street people congregate advising to watch for certain colours of drugs, warnings that drugs are extremely toxic as they are being cut with different stuff, how to test your drugs to ensure they are "safe" to use etc etc. It's gotten a lot worse with borders being shut, limited international shipping into BC.

How many of these were over 60 or 70? To a young person who thinks that they do not have to follow a few simple rules about COVID-19 prevention because it doesn't affect his age group, I reply, that we (the boomers) try to do as much as possible about drug deaths, but yet they are not in our age group. The whole village has to help the villagers. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a medical issue / mental health issue. Just give them safe prescribed drugs.... that come with mandatory counelling/ care. Have available live in treatment centres open / ready for when they are wanting to make the positive change. Treat them as sick people not as criminals. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofsurrey Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) BC kids and school staff are not worth protecting from Covid .... Washington and Califiornia kids / staff are worth protecting though... Dr Bonnie wears a mask when she goes out shopping but she says schools staff don't need any.... wow. https://www.krem.com/article/news/education/washington-in-person-classes-expected-to-resume-fall-2020/293-2599e108-2c9d-4c7f-841a-3e0e5da49e8a Washington State On Thursday morning, the state's Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction released guidance for reopening schools after months of coronavirus closures. The guidance includes a mask requirement for all students and staff in K-12 settings. California. Teachers and educators in California to get 2.4 million face shields (like portable plexiglass for essential workers in close proximity all day with the public, teachers) - so why not in B.C.? http://redforbced.ca/california-schools-government-to-provide-educators-with-2-4-million-face-shields-and-other-ppe/… #bced #bcpoli @CBC @globalnews @CTVVancouver @VancouverSun Edited June 12, 2020 by kingofsurrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drug addiction is a disease that affects canadian families in all socio economic categories.... / ethnic groups. i have lost a friend and a cousin and both were holding down solid jobs. ONe owned his own great business.. and my cousin worked long term BC ferries. Those dead beats to you were loved by their families / loved ones and had hundreds of friends.... Treatment is the answer. Keep them alive with safe drugs until they are ready for treatment. Instead we restrict safe legal drugs to them . This only steers them towards dangerous toxic street drugs that kill them. Edited June 12, 2020 by kingofsurrey 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
