Seeing my premier in my province blame the skyrocketing covid cases on people "not following restrictions" is so fucking infuriating. The dude held down on a province wide half assed shutdown until after boxing day. This is the province that scolded people for having more than one person over in their house but found it perfectly fine to have a large gathering at a bar or banquet hall. They want you to spread covid at your office, construction place or warehouse doing things that are absolutely not necessary and then when the cases spiral out of control it's because of those dang teenagers who had a party down the street.

The worst part is how many people are buying it. Quite a few of my family and friends just complain about how no one is following restrictions and that's why things are so bad. I mean, it's true, people have pandemic fatigue and yes those people having parties and spreading the virus but people are also watching Canadian politicians break rules to vacation, or see the absurdity of being forced to work at an amazon warehouse to package essential big screen TVs but are scolded if they visit their boyfriend or girlfriend for an hour.

I'm just pissed off. Hospitals in my city are now at capacity. We now have the portable morgues showing up because there's no more room at hospitals. The cases just continue to skyrocket and every fucking day this loser gets on TV to express how "concerning" the numbers are and how he's almost ready to declare that anything is possibly on the table. When he actually passes whatever half assed measures tomorrow or next week or next month, it'll be too late. It's already too late. And there will be people who praise him for finally coming to his senses, or just repeat "at least it's not America!!!" ad nauseam.

Things are getting really fucking scary here and I'm starting to understand how people have been feeling in the states through this entire pandemic.
