I don’t know anything about him. Or is it purely a political based opinion? Because, let’s not go there since all political parties have a generous share of asshats. ? Regardless of his politics, it's fair to criticize his early response to the situation. He has not been quite as cavalier (or in outright denial) as some other country leaders (USA, Brazil, Sweden), but he's probably in the top ten of country leaders who could and should have responded earlier and better than they did. He now is in ICU per Sky News. EDIT: Oops. Derrick already said that. Edited April 6, 2020 by Eleven 1

My son would be there constantly. Now he has to watch from the window as they all play, laugh and have fun. The risks are too high especially with their mom being a Nurse at RGH. She's contemplating going to NYC to help (I believe they are providing incentive). I want to tell her for all her kids sake please don't but it's hard to turn away kindness. Good for you fighting the good fight there. I’d say most here just don’t get it. The adults have shut down but their kids are everywhere. It defeats the whole purpose of the adults staying in. And this is with there being at least two cases in the neighborhood so far.
SwampD Posted April 6, 2020 Report Posted April 6, 2020 Why do people wear masks when they are alone in the car?

If you go shopping, say, your hands have touched however many things in the store so wouldn't you want to wash them first before touching your mask to take it off? 2

Probably for the same reason people wearing gloves touch their face after touching other stuff. An awful lot don't actually understand the hows & whys of PPE. 2
