Re Doug Ford’s Deadly Dance With The Coronavirus (NOW Online, January 11) The province’s new lockdown measures are wishy-washy if you ask me. Non-essential stores to remain open until 8 pm? How is that a “lockdown?” It’s dark at 5 pm. Let’s close up and go home at nightfall.
Furthermore, Big Box stores need to be closed; they have too much traffic to be controllable. Will police actually arrest and/or charge shoppers who wear their masks under the nose or chin and don’t keep their distance?
