Clearly there are a
lot of of Canadians who do not understand a few simple words of
English . . .like,
“Stay home!”
“Do not go shopping”
“Stay in isolation for 14 days!”
“It’s the LAW”.
And the rest of us need protection
from these selfish louts.
So how about we go back to a warning
system that worked long ago . . . It worked before. Let’s give it a
try now.
Remember when you
saw these signs on the front doors of the infected:
These signs didn’t come down until you had a note from your doctor
certifying that he had seen you and you were fine for removal from
quarantine.
Such signage would
at the very least, tell neighbours who should not be out and about.
If the person in that unit does not understand their
responsibilities or doesn’t care, then at least the neighbours can
protect themselves. They can even warn the authorities of the
stubborn idiots who insist on their right to roam far exceed the
safety of their neighbours.
If we are going to
beat this curse, then we need to be able to protect ourselves from
the indifference of the few who continue to put society at risk. We
are paying dearly in jobs, health, mental wellbeing, savings, the
debt we are building for our grandchildren to pay off . . . and we
will be paying well into the future in so many ways for the
coronavirus plague.
Get the signs up.
Give them a copy at the airport and
tell them to put it on their front door as soon as they get home.
Warn that an inspector will be by to make sure it is there within
the next 24-hours.
If they ignore
those instructions, trust me, they are not going to be observing
anything else, so put them into a secure isolation.
Make an example of those who refuse to
care for themselves or others.
Only this way will the great majority
of law-abiding Canadians be protected.
Whether it is fines for those
gathering in the dog parks or those who are determined to continue
shooting hoops or just don’t care about anyone other than
themselves: governments, DO SOMETHING!
Hopefully, public shame is one of the
tools to use for those who disregard the impact their travels or
symptoms can have on the innocents who come within their pestilent
field, in those cases, the authorities need to act swiftly and
mercilessly.
We deserve better than the politically correct protection of
personal information that is impeding our ability to protect
ourselves.
Give us the tools we need to know who to avoid and who to report if
they are walking down the street!
GET UP THOSE SIGNS! |
