Atm our freedom is severely restricted by the high case load of Omicron as well as no info where it is. My wife's lung have been getting worse, but she's too afraid to go see a doctor, even if she could get an appointment. All we know is that there are currently 45 Covid-19 patients in out local hospital (25% of the total they've had since the pandemic started)

Our youngest is now afraid to go to school, he fears he'll kill his mother when he goes back :( We're keeping them both home another week. All we know from the school is that there are 12% people absent (not in school and not participating in asynchronous learning) We haven't heard yet whether our youngest's teacher has recovered from Covid-19 and whether he is back yet.

He gets his second shot on Tuesday so he would be home with that anyway and probably Wednesday as well. All they do on Fridays is watch movies at school, no point risking Covid for that. Basically no point going back to school yet. And then of course the oldest doesn't want to go either.

It's great we're now expected to self gauge whether it's safe or not to go back in Ontario. Too bad there is no more information about cases in schools, only a long list of outbreaks in care homes.

It's depressing, no idea what to do anymore.

People are starting to realize the lie they've been told, that they can have everything, is just that.

Not an easy pill to swallow when you're being told to give up some of the good stuff. Those blue pills sure hit the spot.

People think it's safe to drive, and get injured or die everyday in collisions. Even if the Gov says it's safe to breathe, it don't mean much.

Plenty of people keep living in Detroit, Chicago, etc, even though they don't have to. Nobody of working age is forced to live there.

Maybe we should all agree that not every place be designed and run the same, and leave each to their own devices.

50 provinces, each calling their own shots mostly, would've solved a lot of problems during this mess, and more.

Individuals themselves have to go beyond that and plan ahead the best they can, to better deal with or avoid future negativity.

Every once in a while however, the situation just is what it is, and you simply have to ride out the storm.
