Well written article.
I would agree with much of what you say. But Canada has taken a more civilized approach to handling the Covid crisis. Our political leaders are taking their roles more seriously than Mr. Trump. My home town (Brooks, Alberta) has one of the highest per capita Covid cases in Canada.
Yet when I go to the stores in Brooks, most people are not wearing masks. Strange for a disease that has not gone away yet. Maybe the musings of Mr. Trump are wafting over the border.
Unfortunately, directives from governments are so discredited by the public. And as you know, I have a solution for that.
