honest question, what would you suggest we do instead based on the current data available to us both from within Canada and abroad?
Honest answer : Be more coherent. I am a diabetic, I don't feel in danger due to Covid. I do take precautions I took less before, wash my hands more often, touch less stuff while shopping, don't go left and right just due to boredom.
My government (Quebec) says that employers must encourage work from home when that's possible. I was able to do everything I do daily as my work from home between March 16th and May 22nd. Since May 25th I am back to work. I can't speak to closely to my co-workers, I can't take breaks with them but I gotta work. As a hockey fan I can't enjoy my favorite sport, can't even practice it.
So, I can do all the things the government (which is btw my employer) asks me to, but I can't do none of the stuff I want to. So, honest answer, we either just release everything and go back to normal life, or we keep the measures in place until we understand a bit better this new virus.
In Quebec?
That list I saw of rules that would be in place seemed so absurd as to defeat the purpose of school entirely.
Schools in Quebec, except Montreal area, opened on May 11th.
