Guessing all those on vents are coming off of them and dying...hopefully this is the peak and next week it trends downward. Heard of a 90 year old that was hospitalized in Petoskey that recovered and left the hospital which is good to hear.

Platinum Contributing Member Blackstar Posted April 11, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted April 11, 2020 Local by-law officer charged a kid $750 for playing basketball on a closed court. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener-waterloo/kitchener-basketball-player-fined-refusing-leave-park-1.5522579 Many of the townships are refusing to turn on water supply to seasonal residents until pandemic crisis is over. https://london.ctvnews.ca/seasonal-residences-won-t-have-water-in-huron-kinloss-twp-mayor-1.4875771 That one really bothers me. I'm not a cottager but damn it, people have investment in their properties and pay the local taxes year round for those places. They should have every right to go to them if they choose.

It's a fucked up situation in cottage country! They don't have a handle on containment of the virus and it's spreading daily. With more people coming up here to their cottages, stopping for gas/food etc it'll be hard to contain. There's people in Bobcageon which is one of the worst hit areas going to other towns to shop etc and it's gonna get worse.

I'm a big believer in property rights. As long as they follow the rules and self quarantine they should be able to use their own property to keep their families safe.

They are encouraging people to use the bike paths and open areas by us. They don’t want group sports played and big groups hanging out.

There's 32 dead just from the nursing home alone I understand the problems being created but I still have an issue with people being restricted from something they own and pay for. If you pay your taxes then you are a resident whether seasonal or not. The nursing home in Bobcageon is a worst case scenario playing out. The virus was in there early before any restrictions were in place and a big chunk of the residents lived 4 to a room with only curtain dividers and they didn't separate them until last week. Its a terrible tragedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
