We are in lockdown now, and going into full lockdown in two days. This is on top of the border being closed. This is going to be for four weeks minimum. Among the most extreme measures in the world, especially this early on. April 1 Quote Link to comment
Kodiack Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Finance minister expanded upon all of the measures that are in place to soften the economic blow of this. Incredible all around, really. I'm very proud of this government. April 1 Quote Link to comment

EH_STEVE Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 Isolation Day F: Changed all the nicknames in my family messenger group to "Gary" for everyone. Though I don't think anyone else gets it but me, I still think it's hilarious Spoiler Fallout, Vault 108 reference. Though I know they're all clones, we're all isolated so I thought it was funny.

alienboyva Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 OMG! I just heard that the governor of my state has now closed schools for the rest of the school year. Damn, this virus starting to get really scary. Quote Link to comment
DLurkster Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) State of Emergency for the city I live, announced this afternoon, and all schools are in the province are closed definitely until April 6th. And I thought this was already thing abut all non-essential business within Toronto are closed. We are also thinking of stopping any construction around the city and our mayor is trying to see if we can take measures to limiting access to parks and outdoor recreational centres. I live five minutes from a park but since last week, I have not gone there but now they want to limit it and I live 20 minutes for rec centre too. These are hard times. @Tyranogre: Thank for that catch. Edited March 24, 2020 by DLurkster Quote Link to comment

Yeah, they are closing down the park facilities like the playgrounds and the bathroom facilities. Just the Greenways (like paths through different areas of the city that take you through nature areas versus streets and such) and open spaces are open. Quote Link to comment
DLurkster Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 It sucks that these outdoor spaces are closing just as we're warming up but ppl are playing with fire when more than 5 ppl are gather in such place and are not heeding to stay indoors. It's weird and also not accurate to say that we're warming up, tho spring began on Friday we up in Canada don't see spring really until May, lol. but kids be kids, I see them wearing shorts and t-shirts and some days we don't even just reach 0 Celsius not in Fahrenheit.

I think Ford said that schools would probably not open on April 6th. Not a clean declaration yet maybe but I know based on his comments we’ve been preparing for that eventuality in my house. My city also just declared a state of emergency recently. Even closed the parks, which makes sense... not many people have been heeding the social/physical distancing concept. I love the memes going around that are like “people in 1939, called to war; people in 2020, called to lay on the couch”. Yet we can’t even get that right...

Yeah, I concur, I don't have kids but I have two nephews and I don't like the thought that even tho schools will be closed for a weeks will be enough. When I posted that I'm not sure if thing have changed since it was announced because I literally heard about less than 2 hours after it was shared. Also at the same time knowing that kids are missing school the rest of this year is also troubling as well, to kids they may think it's awesome (home schooling or not) but this disrupts kids pivotal moments of learning when they reach a certain age. No matter how you spin this, there isn't anything COVID-19 does not affect society wise. DranSeasona and Link, the Hero of Dreams 1 1 Quote Link to comment
