That is why of we had to be locked down in the first place. People just don't get the 6 ft rule. This may be harsh but I hope everyone of them get it. Karma.

I disagree. I am loving the new way of life. It will be nice to go out to eat and not be overwhelmed with people.

Seeing numbers like that, I don't understand why so many downplay the seriousness of this.

Its pretty bad when businesses are smarter then the guy in charge.

He did say cities can't overrule his order with stricter policies.

What's the point of setting up guidelines if every state is going to do what they want?

That's the measures we have in place here in Ontario. From the sounds of things here it's going to be in place til summer sometime. Our government won't return to normal til there is a way to treat this.

I hope so but have my doubts. Its why here in Canada they are taking things very slow.

You would think but if you look at the amount of people in the picture they obviously don't get the message.

I look at what they are doing here in Canada and wish they would follow that model in the U.S. I am afraid of the jump in deaths and cases with such this rush to open the economy They haven't even begun to discuss any guidelines on how to open the economy. Summer is the earliest they have discussed in lifting some restrictions. The government here is going by whatever the health experts are saying. They don't expect to get back to fully normal til there is a treatment or a vaccine.

I feel so bad for my neighbors to the south. We are in a scary time and I am scared for what may happen if they rush to open up the economy so quick.

I'm surprised by the may talk in the U.S. Here in Canada they figure this will last well into summer and then they will slowly open up things. Bars, restaurants and shops will open first with limited capacity. Any thing that involves large crowds will way down the line. Trudeau said today expect this to be the new normal til a vaccine is available.

It does suck but Ontario just closed all parks, sports fields and all outdoor recreational facilities. Now they limited gatherings to 5 here so they had to do it. Too many people think this is nothing.

You can go for walks and have outdoor exercise but in your neighborhood The problem was and still is in some spots is too many people were going to the parks. Unless the park is near your house you would have to drive to them. That would mean it's non-essential travel.

Here in Canada every province is pretty much on the same page. They have been telling people to stay home unless you need to go out. The only reason you should have to go out is for groceries and work. They have been closing all parks and public areas trying to get people to stay home. While most are listening, a lot were still going to the beach and parks for walks.

What I find funny about this whole being stuck at home thing is how bored people really are. The reason I say that is I have noticed the last year or so I see less and less people out at bars and restaurants compared to a few years ago. At least in my area it seemed that way. More and more people are staying in by choice. Now that we have to stay in people are going stir crazy and can't handle it.

What upsets me more then anything else about what's going on is how much the government has to babysit us. If people would have followed what was suggested and did social distancing from the beginning and avoided crowds we wouldn't have had to resort to this. If people just stayed home except to go to work or get essentials we would have been better off. Of course people can't help themselves and have to go the beach or the bar. Too many of us didn't take this seriously including me, til they started closing things.

Once they started closing things it made me realize how bad this really is. It will get better quicker if people would just stay home.

Its sad to see so many people don't think this will affect them. Why is it so hard to understand that you stay home except for work or groceries.

The scariest thing about it is how over here in Canada and the U.S. so many believe this is nothing.

Sorry to hear that. I hope for you and your staff it is only 2 weeks. I pray that this ends quick and we can get to back to normal sooner rather then later. I'm a little scared for myself as I work in retail that sells groceries so I have to be around a lot of people daily.

It probably would have happened sooner here in Canada and the U.S. but the issue is that people seem to panic a lot easier here. In Europe when any of their government imposes closures, people seem to accept it. Even the suggestion of self-isolate after returning from out of country, most seem to ignore and just go back to work.

That and at least in my area its starting to go back to normal. Grocery stores are crazy busy like they were.

It is sad but til more people take this seriously it's the only way. They are closing things to try to force people to practice social distancing and avoid places with lots of people.
