Question 1: What are your feelings about wearing masks? Do you feel that masks should be mandated by government officials? Why or why not? Are these measures effective against the spread of COVID-19?
Although I have COPD I will wear the mask as I believe it will offer protection to the people I come in contact with.

Question 2: The Canadian - U.S. border continues to be closed to non-essential travel. Is this a good or bad decision for Canada? When should the border be reopened fully?
The border shouldn’t be allowed to reopen until the US starts to. They need to enforce take COVID seriously and gets their numbers way down.

Question 3: Niagara has seen a large number of visitors from other regions of Ontario on weekends and holidays. This has helped businesses and tourism. But it has also led to crowded venues and the potential spread of COVID-19. What can be done to balance safety and economics?
They need to enforce the COVID guidelines. If people are not following the rules start fining them.

Question 4: Schools from kindergarten through university/college have reopened? How has the Ontario government handled the return to school? Are schools safe for students, teachers and staff? Is online learning a good alternative?
If people were to follow the safety procedures....wear a mask, wash your hands frequently, stay away from crowded functions then school should be safe. COVID is not in the school, teachers and students are bringing it into the schools. Online learning is not an option for parents who have jobs to go to.

Question 5: Do you think that there will be a significant second wave in Canada? Why?
By what I am seeing on the news today...yes. Young people just don’t seem to get it. 1,000 people attend a car rally in Wasaga Beach, two weeks ago it was in Ancaster. They think they are invincible.

Question 6: Most people had to cancel plans for a special event, vacation, or activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic. What did you miss out on? Would you be comfortable returning to these within the next year?
We were to go on a Caribbean cruise in April. My husband does not want to ever get on a cruise ship again. I would have to be sure of their new protocols before I could make a decision.

Question 7: Where do you get your news and information about the pandemic? What sources do you find trustworthy?
I listen to the news. I usually try and watch Doug Ford’s daily announcements. Although American we listen to CNN as well.
