I want to hear from those of you following Covid-19 protocols

This is the actual law and the government is keenly aware of it.
No one can force you to disclose your medical condition.

CONSENT CONCERNING PERSONAL HEALTH INFORMATION

Remember the signs at store entry's...... no shirt, no shoes, no entry. Same deal here.

I have a friend who has a heart condition that allows him a disabled parking, he is accosted sometimes , because he doesn't have a 'limp' or 'visible' condition. When they question his parking location, he just reply's 'heart condition' and keeps walking. He does not have to reply, he just does, because it stops them in their tracks. Sometimes discretion, is the better part of valour.

I feel.as thought we're following the rules for the most part. We don't interact with anyone outside the household other than my father in law. He's alone at his place, and is part of our bubble. I'm trying to just use the old common sense, as I don't want to lose that from lack of use... I went ice fishing Sat, drive 3 hrs north....fished all day....and came straight home. No fill ups, no stops etc..... as long as I can keep doing that, I think I'll be able to ride this out. Gonna head to the cottage this weekend, but again, there'll be no stops, no trips into town etc......if fishing keeps me sane, then that's what I'll keep doing. Just put a down payment on a new FS1700....so I feel I have something to look forward to until the spring...........

Now that is something I should be doing too, definitely help.. congrats on the purchase

Good post. Common sense should rule, but some people push the boundaries because they can. My father used to say, ‘ just because you can do something, doesn’t always mean you should ‘. Wish more followed that philosophy.

Thanks pal, I appreciate it. I sold my other two boats last summer so I could take my time researching my new one. It's now a waiting game:).

Are the infection stats even released? Who's getting covid? I know planes keep landing with infected people, but Who's the 3k-4k daily getting it? I still don't know anyone who's got it. Is it families' not following rules, people in Costco/walmart.......do we know?

I dont wear a mask (I can't)
I social Distance
I wash my hands
I dont shop often - well stocked at home for years
The first 4-5 months gave the government all the stats and data they needed to figure out, 1.) who was dying, 2.) who was most at risk, 3.) were the main was.

Every safety measure put in place starting last March was absolutely valid and smart to do. However, we now know that the virus impacts a select group of people with risks. The government should open all businesses and provide extra funding for Hospiutals and Retirement homes.

Locking down the economy is doing more harm. Period.

I can go on for hours on faulty PCR tests, case # V/S sensationalism, actual people in ICU, on Ventilators (false info), 75% of all ICU beds are reserved on daily basis for normal accidents and reserve space capacity. When Ford announced new measures for 26th of Dec including Ottawa we have had 08-13 in ICU with a capacity of 212 in Ottawa. Further to that in March 2020, Ontario was lacking in Ventilators (since resolved and delivered 12,000 more), plus contingency plans further planned another 3000 emergency capacity at temp ICU's for ON. None this has occurred, and even if the worst case happens - Ontario does not have enough Respitory Therapists to monitor and manage current max ICU beds as a result of poor planning for the trade by the government.

Thanks to those of you who actually responded to my request to provide information about how you are dealing with Covid-19. As for the rest of the responses from those of you who hijacked my thread, I am not surprised. Disappointed but not surprised.
This is my last thread for a while. I don’t really care what any of you have to say about this but I’m sure that once again, a number of you will spout off about this. Go ahead because I won’t even see it.
