Holiday-Ruiners

Marvel at how people are prepared to spoil things for themselves:

Canadians are divided about whether to let the COVID-19 pandemic disrupt their plans for upcoming holidays and seasonal events, a new poll suggests.

The poll, conducted by Leger and the Association for Canadian Studies, comes as COVID-19 cases are surging and public health authorities are pleading with Canadians in places with rising case counts to avoid contact with anyone outside their immediate families or at least to stick to small social circles.


(Sidebar: please see the poll here.)

It's a like a hair-shirt of a psychological kind.


Tell the kids that there will be no Christmas this year, either, or their grandmothers will die and it will be all their fault.


Go big with the shame or go home.

 

Also - patronising quack encourages Canadians to have a "virtual" Thanksgiving:

This year’s celebrations need to include an abundance of personal protections and a set-up for virtual or safe distancing connections. 

Just ban it, Tam. You know that you want to. 

Will Justin - whose opinion was in no way solicited - ban Thanksgiving and Halloween for his kids?


And

Canada put health-care workers at risk of contracting COVID-19 and taking it home to their families because it failed to learn lessons from Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome in 2003, a new report says.

Why am I not surprised?
