Documenting COVID-19 in Niagara

Collected Item: โ€œ[Untitled]โ€

I agree:

Yes

Answer 1 - Masks:

I dont know anyone that likes wearing masks, however, I do believe they help limit the spread. I myself have been wearing masks since March, as I work in a long term care facility.

Answer 2 - Borders:

I think its imperative that the border remains closed. Goods continue to flow unimpeded. Many Americans ind their way in regardless, by legal means or by lying about events they must attend...ie. funeral. I know this to be a fact, some look up obituaries in the area they wish to visit declare that fact at the border, and then check into a hotel and spend time sightseeing with mo isolating at all. Were the restrictions loosened more, Canada would be hosting any number of Americans who dont follow our rules.

Answer 3 - Visitors:

I really dont know, other than having security (or staff of local businesses) try to keep crowds separated or moving at safer distance. I realize that's incredibly difficult to accomplish, as I also realize how important tourist/travellers dollars are to businesses that have suffered losses throughout the pandemic. There doesnt seem to be any easy solutions to this problem, sadly.

Answer 4 - Schools

I truly believe that children benefit by learning in a school environment with other children. My grandchildren attend a small rural school so class sizes have not been a huge issue, however the majority of children attend school in cities where class sizes are by necessity much larger. If cases of Covid occur, they will spread rapidly. I hope the government is taking the safety of our children as the highest priority.

Answer 5 - Second Wave:

As numbers are rising in Ontario, I feel that the second wave is already beginning. I believe that covid fatigue is the issue.

Answer 6 - Missing Out:

We are missing out on a family wedding and travel to see family in other parts of the country.

Answer 7 - Sources:

From the news mostly, and online. I find the news more trustworthy than online.

Answer 8 - Return to Normal:

Not soon, I fear. Time alone will tell.

Location:
