In a way I feel kinda bad for you folks in the states. A lack of leadership from the President who has no clue how to handle a very serious crisis means you now have the highest death rate of any country in the world and different rules set by states and counties with no national cohesive plan. Now I hear he wants to fire Fauci because he doesn't agree with him. This isn't The Apprentice.
Here in Ontario all our provincial parks, National Parks, crown land and all local parks are closed and anyone who is not an essential worker is asked to stay home. It still doesn't stop folks from asking, "where can I go for a night of camping?". All the smaller communities that are at their limit for health care are asking people to not head out to cottage country. Unfortunately not everyone listens. Air ambulance and first responders are having to deal with folks that are going out and getting into trouble, even though they've been asked to stay home, wasting time they could be helping those who really need it.
Personally, a close friend lost a family member yesterday, another friend's father is in a long term seniors facility where more than half the folks there have died of Covid-19 and my cousin is a front-line nurse. It might seem that a person should be safe going out for a night by themselves, but, what if getting gas, they accidentally pick up the virus. Then they go shopping and spread it to others or go home and give it to their families, maybe an older parent or grandparent. If staying home will flatten the curve and get us all back out and at work sooner, isn't it worth it? Sorry for the long rant.
