B.C. risks return to severe pandemic restrictions

[Pedaling pete]

No these lease a building from me.

So I'm not going to call them in...

 

[ferniesnow]

As a business owner I can not fight the government. I don't have the time or the resources to risk getting shut down, my family and my staffs families rely on me keeping things running. I have to follow the guidelines same as all other business regardless of my personal beliefs. Call me a sheep or whatever, I'm doing what I have to do.

I understand that and I said that.

Where are the people who like/liked our once normal life? Why are Canadians in general so silent? I have empathy for the sick, the elderly, the comprised, the front line workers but.............where are we going and why are we going there? There is a whole accumulation of books out there with different people's opinions' in them. Where is the truth?

Is it the government with the truth? Is it the media with the truth? Is it the WHO with the truth? Is it the UN with the truth? Which one of the medical professional groups has the truth?

I know Doug, just want people to know it's not that easy to go against the recommended measures.

I don't know who to believe, there seems to be no middle ground.

If government cared about our health fast food restaurants would be shut down (they have been deemed essential through this scamdemic).

It's not as deadly as first thought but ICU beds are filling up.
If all the ICU beds are filled with covid patients there is no where for car accident, heart attack and other serious issues to be placed. I wouldn't want to have to decide who gets a bed and who dies.

The real issue is there are and have not been enough hospital beds or staff in the Country for years.

They could ban smoking too.

McBride is grooming trails and posting about it on social media. Sounds like an invitation to me.

Edmonton turning giant buildings in the homeless centres but we can’t make a few hospital beds, come on

Hell, might as well ban drinking too. In all honesty, if they regulated booze, crap food, and sugar, could you imagine how healthy we could be?

I got busted yesterday! The first time I have had to wear a mask.

I was in Home Hardware tying some pieces of dressed fir together with some shrink wrap on a dolly to go to the cashier and a staff member came up to me and asked that I put on a mask. "If you don't have one, I'll give you one free." I stated that I have one but with breathing problems I don't wear it. His retort was, "we have had quite a few customers get belligerent and aggressive about customers in the store without a mask so to keep out work place kind of calm would you please wear a mask."

I understand his concern, know the rules, and I also see where he is coming from to keep the business open and not pay some stupid fine. I do not really want to rock the boat but if we all lay down and don't have a little push back what is gong to happen next? There is no way in hell we will return to normal if we are all a bunch of sheep. This is bigger than the phucking virus and people need to see it for what it is. The media isn't doing diddly squat and what they are doing is only making things worse.

Most of the locals are concerned but there are two groups; those like myself and those that are the sheep and Karons/Brads of the community. The bullies and intimidators that feel they have a platform that nobody will stand up against. When you watch the news (if you can even call it news anymore) and see the small business stories about losing their livelihood and closing their doors forever, it kind of makes one wonder. There has to be give and take on both sides and I like the statement above from Mike270412.

You Albertans' (I sound like Don Cherry), can't control what happens to your season. You can come across the border and follow all the rules and be great tourists but the Karons/Brads will get to local governments and will complain about the numbers of cases that the media keep on perpetuating and want everything shut down. Knee jerk reaction from the government.................mandatory masks (even tho' many professionals have an opinion that they do nothing), social distancing, restricted travel, stay in your own little bubble (but allow the big box stores to have hundreds of people milling around), and God forbid if you hug some one or shake their hand. Enough already.........send it!!

Maybe this should be in "Post your rant here" thread.

Don’t they offer curbside pickup ? That’s what I do then I don’t have to deal with the aggravation.

Who's saying they won't comply.

But the fat ladies need loving to! Without booze and sugar they are screwed, but not the fun way.
