We, in Manitoba are in lockdown, code red, till December 12, the same as when this first started.
I'm not surprised......as soon as restrictions were eased......common sense left on track # who knows.
IMO, it doesn't take many careless people to spoil any positive progress that was made.
It's very disheartening.

I meant that you would love to institute strict controls on everything. Who goes where and when. What folks can do, have to wear, and how to behave. Personal freedom means nothing to you. All justified by the greater good. Here’s your yellow star. Wear it and you’ll be safe.

Offensive remark. My relatives had to wear a yellow star, and guess what? Right the first time! They weren't safe. Care to say anything to them?
 
I don't understand why it is when someone is for a lockdown IF it will keep us safe...why all of a sudden we're nazis. What is so horrible about trying to stay alive and safe? Just because it's an inconvenience doesn't make it wrong. And I can't believe grown ass adults can't manage to stay home for a few months without having a fit.
 
@CarolfromTX it's not like it's forever. It's a temporary situation. Do you think we all don't want to go out and do what we want to do? Do you understand the price that will be paid in lives if we keep going like this? In the name of world health I don't have a problem with it. What I don't understand is why this freaks you out so badly. So you have to stay home for a few months. I could see it if it was for the rest of your life. I'm sorry but I feel like some people who believe this way are just being childish.

I think a more fitting (and much less hyperbolic) insult would've been to call people communists. Until you got to the yellow star bit, much of what you described in the post above is the life of modern day Chinese citizens under the CCP's social credit system.
 
I have a better one @AnnieA, but I think I'd get in trouble if I used it. It's something about the varying ideas we have on what personal freedom means, and to who and when to MYOB.

Not referring to your above post, but the one before that
 
There is a old saying “Your freedom stops at the tip of my nose” or similarly worded.
Carol, ( and folks with similar selfish attitudes about your “rights”), your “freedom” doesn’t give you the right to endanger others with your actions. Didn’t anyone ever explain to you that freedom also involves responsibility? That you are part of society?

Our Gov just instituted a closure starting Monday similar to March due to a huge surge and we know that this state has a very low ratio ratio of hospital and ICU beds compared to other states.

If it comes down to who gets that last empty bed, it’s going to go to the younger or healthier person with more chance to survive, and the older or “underlying conditions” person is going to be left in the gurney in the hall. That’s what “triage” boils down to. Is having that on your conscience worth the freedoms? Or that maybe that one left on the gurney could be you? Or maybe you don’t have a conscience.
