    Jeet Heer Retweeted Chris Tindal

    This is a good thread which reflects my experiences as well: Canadians are becoming complacent about Covid & not wearing masks. I'm afraid the new surge we're in will get very bad.https://twitter.com/christindal/status/1310580526315720704 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    I lived in the United States for the first six months of the pandemic, and now I'm in Toronto, and it's very disorienting how, based on what I've personally witnessed... individual Americans are taking COVID-19 significantly more seriously.

        I've seen a substantial increase in mask wearing in grocery stores here in suburban B.C. since the mid-summer spike in numbers. High level in regional variation?

        Me too. I don't know that the schools and restaurants should be open right now. Cases seem to be growing exponentially.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        Public health recommendations throughout the country are pretty lax on the whole mask thing. Many people are largely doing things within those guidelines. I'm not anti-mask by any means but it isn't the be all and end all of fighting Covid19.

        I dunno, I see everyone in downtown Toronto wearing masks indoors. The odd person has their nose out but aside from that it's high degree of compliance.

        So very sorry that so many Americans are bad examples. Lots of us are 😷😷😷😷 trying.

        Know someone who flew to BC from Toronto for a “weekend with the girls.” The messaging has been terrible and people have just given up.

        I know one person who won’t wear one... because thinking about COVID gives her anxiety 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

        None of the nurses in pediatric daycare at VGH (Vic not Van) were wearing masks on Thursday. My kid is medically fragile.

        If you are half a man, you would be honest about how this story will be covered after the election. And I will look for your humble retractions. In the meantime, go ahead with scare porn. It must be gratifying because you don't have any credentials to opine on this subject.
