So, with Covid-19 numbers increasing in our county, and the province, the government has ordered a lockdown starting December 26th. The timing of this is incredible, and just...crazy.
To be locked down for a month is tough. We were given a few days to prepare, to shop, to fill our cupboards with food and other necessities. Plus, the there was still time for those last minute shoppers to finish their Christmas shopping. Hopefully everyone will do it in a safe and cautious manner.
And so as to not rile the voters, the government leaders chose the date that will allow everyone their Christmas gatherings before shutdown. I imagine there would have been a revolt if the date for lockdown was December 23rd.
But the activity that will be happening in these few days is exactly the kind of behaviour that has brought us to this point. I fear there will be an immediate rise in numbers before the hoped for flattening of the curve.
Merry Christmas, be smart and stay safe.
