The COVID-19 pandemic

[panamaniac]

I agree casinos, Dollarama, bars, etc. are not anywhere close to being essential, so we could be shutting down better than we are, but a true lockdown would be impossible.

Many lower-income people use Dollarama for their daily groceries so I think that would be essential. Unless we were to provide some kind of food delivery service to those people.

52 of Ottawa’s 97 cases were people under age 30.
Family gatherings next week could send things spinning out of control, I fear.

I saw somewhere (where?) that while our second wave started with mostly under-40s, the balance was now shifting and there were relatively more older people.

If I could only remember where I read that ...

I fear it’s inevitable and that the holiday will be a catalyst.
