People are not doing their part.

Those that are not may have forgotten one of Mother Natures important sayings......

SURVIVAL of the FITTEST !!!

There are times when Your Brain is more valuable then your Brawn.

SF- That is for sure.

We are having things rationed at our local Walmart, etc.

But on the news, it seems states that have legalized weed, are still open for biz. Isn't that special.

Maybe the users and sellers consider it FOOD.
It is legal here .... The Money Talks ... Forget the law abiding Citizens feelings and opinions.

I hope that the teenagers are done with their prank of deliberately coughing on the fresh produce. They should be charged, at the very least it's vandalism.

It could be considered, domestic terrorism.
Now this is a sad situation but still ignoring the guide lines can be deadly.
An 80ish year old woman has died just north of us, her daughter came home from her cruise or trip outside of Canada, did not pay attention to the 14 day isolation, went to visit the old girl (her mother) in her nursing home , and just a few days later, the mother is dead.
Maybe now some people will understand and think twice before they do something as stupid as this!
it should be considered a criminal act.
Hell we could get a $750.00 fine for unnecessary driving or a group more then 2.

SF- Maybe they do consider it food ? It is a cash cow for sure. I know some use it for medical issues & read it helps. That doesn't bother me. It is illegal here, & glad of it, it's the pot heads that bug me.

RJ- I totally agree with you, an act such as that should have legal consequences.

Blue- Sorry to hear about that Older woman, that is very sad. Daughter can't be feeling too good after that. Seems too many are not taking this serious.

Blue- Forest Gump had it right. Do you think Tom & Rita were treated with some of those meds they are testing?

No idea, but it’s a good sign for what seems to be forgotten, I’m not seeing a lot of headlines focused on the resolved cases, just the new ones!
Up here it was deemed mandatory as of yesterday all Canadians coming home from anywhere, must self isolate themselves immediately for 14 days, no run to the store, no visitors, no just getting gas, no going to see relatives, the fine is set at $750.00 and 6 months jailed.

I certainly hope nobody is stupid enough to get themselves into trouble.
