It became painfully clear to me in Thailand that we had to get out asap once my basketball coaching was over which ended on march 1st. Our flights were booked well in advance and we had our fingers crossed we would get out. Would we have flown to Thailand after mid January? Definitely not as that would have been irresponsible and just plain stupid.
However, many Canadians did exactly that and our clamouring for the government to fly them back. Almost all of the countries are more dangerous than Thailand. Sometimes complete families are involved. What were the parents thinking?
I was just reading on CBC about a family that left February 27th for Guatemala. Stupid, and of course they want the government to get them out. Where is personal responsibility in all this. I think it may be time to use a little Darwinism in our decision making. Dumb Fucks should be on their own!
The danger is not only to themselves but they are also importing into Canada, whatever they are afraid of. The snowbirds arriving this week are stopping in Canadian border towns to buy groceries when they are supposed to be heading home to quarantine themselves for 14 days. I would not want to have been in a border town or an international Canadian airport last week when over 1 million Canadians arrived home. They should have pulled the plug and arrived at least one month earlier.
Then there are the Millennials who seem bent on still partying on spring break or in town in larger groups. I wonder how they will feel when they infect their loved one (other than themselves) such as parents or grand parents.
In order to keep the Millennial generation analytically meaningful, and to begin looking at what might be unique about the next cohort, Pew Research Center decided a year ago to use 1996 as the last birth year for Millennials for our future work. Anyone born between 1981 and 1996 (ages 23 to 38 in 2019) is considered a Millennial, and anyone born from 1997 onward is part of a new generation.
It is time to start calling these individuals out as they are damaging our society by their thoughtless and dangerous actions. But, perhaps it is no longer PC to do so. We may hurt their feelings.
Yesterday and overnight we received about 3 inches of snow. Spring is here :-)
On another note, the pool table has arrived and hopefully will be up and levelled over the next few days. This will help prevent cabin fever setting in.
