Readers will have seen a news item about a couple who crossed the border after getting medical services in the United States, and were accused of not following required procedures, and were issued a fine for $3,450 for their “non-compliance.” But there is much more to that story, and readers should know what really happened before rushing to judgment.
First, let me be clear about my own opinions on non-compliance with COVID-19 restrictions. I have no patience for those who downplay the hazards of the virus or those who protest about the restrictions or fail to follow them. I am distressed when I see people wearing their masks under their noses. I despise the vocalizations and demonstrations of the anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers. I think they richly deserve any and all fines imposed upon them.
