My wife and I are in the “old” and vulnerable category when it comes to the coronavirus. We take the danger seriously and have complied with all the suggested and required safeguards.
We were looking forward to being together with two other family members over Christmas. Unfortunately our government decided otherwise.
Because we are a “couple,” we cannot have anyone else in our home. Because all of our close family are “couples,” none of them can come here, and we can’t visit any of them. If any one of us was single and living alone, that person could chose to visit any of the others, even if there were already four people in that household. Our neighbour and friend is a single lady. She can have up to four members of a family in her home. We can shop at Walmart. We can go to a movie. We can meet another couple at a restaurant and sit at the same table; but they can’t come here. Is there something about couples in their homes that makes then inherently dangerous?
What marvel of science and medical research tells our Government that this really makes sense?
Thanks Premier Moe and Dr. Shahab for having spoiled Christmas for hundreds of Saskatchewan families.
