It isn’t even close to a “lockdown”- Ford has his fingers in his ears, ignoring 153 ICU Doctors who signed a letter pleading for stricter measures.
Essential worker vaccination blitzes and sick pay so the infected don’t spread at work!!
CLOSE the big box stores and Malls – let small business open to reap the giant profits this time.
Stay-at-home order is unfortunately needed as well, because of selfish shop-a-holics.
And 2 less Covid cases in CK today is because. they. died.
