COVID-19 Check-In Thread Part III

[Dragonflight]

Still here, Still alive. Still alone... and going to stay that way for a while.

Ontario government has finally realized the half-measures they have in place that they call a lockdown aren't working. Starting Monday, and going for six weeks. nobody's allowed to gather outside, nobody's allowed to go anywhere except for groceries or work, and police will be able to fine people who are breaking the lockdown. And there will be checkpoints at the borders.

They're still refusing to legislate paid sick leave, so I doubt the curve will flatten any time soon.

This still isn't Soviet Russia. They can't arbitrarily arrest us on the streets... but it's not far from. Officers now have the right to detain anyone whether on foot or in cars, determine if their reason for being out of their houses is satisfactory or not, and then fine them (currently) $750 on the spot and send them back home if the officer on the scene decides arbitrarily that the reason stated isn't good enough.
