LETTER: How we get past COVID-19

Here we go again, in pandemic crisis mode for the fourth time.

LETTER SIG

Here we go again, in pandemic crisis mode for the fourth time.

Our ridiculous patchwork of local and provincial public health regulations, mask mandates, and vaccine passports – driven by political posturing – is bound to continue failing, as anyone with grade school-level science education should see.

This absurd situation is like my first Air France flight at age 27, where passengers could sit in alternating smoking or non-smoking rows. Really?

Because governments allowed non-essential inter-jurisdictional travel, we’re back where we were in March 2020 – needless loss of lives and jobs, business closures and astronomical government debt.

There’s only one way out of this mess: Stop repeating the conspiracy theories you read online. If you have doubts, talk to a doctor. Get vaccinated. Encourage others to do so and wear a mask indoors in public.

We need robust and intelligent leadership in Canada as we deal with “COVID-22,” so think about this when you vote!
