🤨


No more lattes for a while...

Granted, there isn't much that one can say in favour of military

dictatorship. Except that now, I think I might have something.

China put Wuhan through hell, forcing everyone to stay inside

and grow potatoes on the window sill , with occasional rice deliveries.

Home! Hom! Home!  Folks listened and they have controlled

the epidemic like no one else. Whereas we - I am speaking for Quebec, now -

seem caught in this hellish situation that the darn numbers keep going up

at every turn. Damper here and things flare somewhere else...


And I don't think it is a matter of lack of discipline on the part of Quebecers. 

We don't need any tut tutting! I think it is because the rules we are given 

are incoherent, especialy if followed as rules, and not guideposts to what 

should be happening. China sending everyone to their rooms had the effect of

letting the latent coronovirus cases develop. Everyone is sick until the

incubation period is over. Everyone.


Herd immunity cannot be relied upon, check. But pockets of good behavior

in an otherwise open system cannot but lead to flare ups. Pick-up food, hair dressers, 

washer repair people...everyone needs to work. But unless and until there

are cures and vaccines that work, we cannot advance much without consequences.

No more bullying, please!


If you go out, you rest on the bench after. That's how I have been living.

It is not a matter of 'legal' behavior.
