The word “kindness” keeps popping up in her speeches. This is good.

i was at surrey the other day and 80% of the ppl were touching their faces, sneezing, not wearing masks, and overall practicing poor hygiene, a mask prevents that… how hard is it for people to understand the pants analogy?take 2 people in a room, in scenario 1, person 1 does not wear pants, so when he pees he has a chance to pee on the other person. however, when both person 1 and person 2 wear pants, whenever they need to pee, they will pee on their pants and not on the other person…. how hard is it for people to understand this analogy????

The numbers are showing that this Pandemic is on the way out. 5 million people in BC with only 400 CONTAINED cases. That’s only .00008% of the population.
I’d bet there’s more people out there with Leprosy than there are with COVID.
We’re done. This is over. Let’s get back to normal.

even a cloth mask or scarf can help prevent the spread… hopefully there wont be a rebound by these people’s stupidity
