Fermez les frontières, un nouveau virus chinois apparaît: Le COVID-19
As is the custom, you are conflating actual mask use with understanding the reason for mask use at this time and when that use case will no longer be mandated. At no point in anything I've said have I ever questioned following the actual use of masks. Its hard to have a legitimate back and forth when the entire premise of my position is misrepresented.
these questions are a sideshow at best in the grand scheme of things.
Why now? It’s a political gamble mixed with a public health experiment. That’s what this is.
Do you really expect a straight answer from the politicians? How badly does it matter when you factor the risk and possible benefits vs the mild inconvenience it represent.
It’s damned if you do, damned if you don’t IMO. Some say it’s too early, others would posit it’s already too late because people aren’t doing the “right thing” on their own.
Say they did nothing and the numbers were to spike again... people would likely say this could’ve been prevented through more aggressive policies.
What this is saying is that career politicians are willing to risk the public’s goodwill and put their elected positions on the line for what they know is likely to be unpopular. Politicians potentially acting against their own interest sounds like it’s rather important.
When will it be lifted? Reading between the lines: unlikely to be right away. They would’ve said so otherwise. They won’t commit to hard numbers. Maybe when you no longer have the worse numbers in Canada?
You don’t have to like it, but opposition based on these two unanswered question appears counter-productive.
The longer this goes on; the more it’ll cost us.
The B.S and the deadbeats don’t care as they’re not the ones footing the bill.
