I want to show you the posters that are shown around germany:

You see the same in the front and in the background in different colors. The three words are:

  • Abstand = distance
  • Hygiene = hygiene (well, duh)
  • Alltagsmaske = everyday mask

Do you all have something similar in other countries? And do you think a reminder like this works?

Here in Ontario you have posters everywhere, they are different per county though. At every trail entrance and every gate (stay 2 meters apart, don't walk/ride in groups), all stores, at traffic lights, you can't miss it. Plus adds on radio and tv all day long.

For example for stores




There are also limits on how many people can go inside. Many of the smaller stores down town have a 7 people limit at a time. Some only one customer inside at a time like the bicycle store I go to. Supermarkets, liquor stores etc have someone at the door counting those going in and out and having people line up 2 meters apart in front of the store.

It's taken very serious on the shopping front yet still many people go about their parties and recreation without a care :/ 4 weeks before schools re-open with no limits to how many people inside (full attendance, full days, all week). Our prime minister Doug Ford said he would be nervous sending his kids back to school...

"We put in $80 million to hire more staff and cleaning services and we are the only jurisdiction that are hiring 500 nurses specifically for schools at $50 million,” Ford said. “I won’t spare a penny. SickKids have come up with an incredible plan. I fully understand why the parents are nervous, I’d be nervous if my kids were back in school.”

We have just over 2 million students in Ontario, so we spared about $40 per student to make things 'safe' but we got one nurse per 4,000 students lol. Incredible plan from SickKids what a crock of shit. Basically face masks from grade 4 and up is all it is. Desks one meter apart and staggered lunch breaks. Incredible! Meanwhile they estimated the chance of an infected kid per class of 30 at 5.3%...
