He sounds like a beaten man during the news conference right now, but jeezus, I have a hard time feeling "sorry" for him when he's simply reaping what he sowed from his failure to listen to the professionals.

I don't know....the way I'm hearing it right now the travel ban has more teeth right now. A single rider or for a mental health ride, probably not going to attract attention, but you COULD still as I understand it get stopped and asked why you're out and where you're going under the new expanded laws.
A large group of bikes openly flaunting things? Expect heat.
Specifically allowed. Commercial (mall/hotel/etc) construction is the only non-essential apparently.On a side note, I guess the annoying 3 construction projects on my street should be shutting down.
(home reno/rebuilds)
You might be in a very small group.
The powers for police to pull people over and ask specifically why you're not home, etc is negligible. They can and do already pull you over for document checks, the stay at home order questions could simply be added onto that stop. It sounds scarier then reality.
I did note she said bylaw and LEO will be tasked to increase enforcement big time. I'd stay very lowkey even solo riding around, when people notice us we tend to stand out. Don't be the nail?

I'm with you.
if he ignores the doctors and people die, he's toast. if he forces us to stay home and the economy tanks, he's toast.
he has no way to win and we all lose no matter what he does.

COVID-19 public health measures and advice
Learn about the latest information on public health measures, including masking and mask use.
Consult the official wording of what is allowed and if you think it is justified, I would print the page that applies and put it in a pocket. Don't be the nail as Evoex said.

Yup, listening to the press conference as I type. Riding can wait - this seems serious.
tell them you`re going to get a take out sandwich from your favourite deli.
"why yes officer, it does say 3 hours one way..have you tried their smoked meat?"
I don't think they have enacted triage yet but we've got to be getting close. I would not want to be all wadded up and the only treatment they provided was hopes and prayers.
I was admittedly amongst the people who were out riding during the first wave last April (carefully), but it was different - we were scared of the hospitals filling up, but they were actually empty. We knew so little. So I knew that if something happened while I was on 2 wheels, well, there would be a hospital to patch things up.
This time around, that's no longer guaranteed. And it's very real.
That changes things for me in that decision process. I don't want to end up in the hospital because some cager cut me off on a country road and get myself triaged into the back parking lot as "not likely to survive" because the hospital is overwhelmed already.

Because it's all about me and F u guys! Gonna pay a coyote to smuggle me into Montreal for some poutine.
In the history of our planet we have only eliminated one virus and that is small pox. Every other virus is still circulating including polio which they started vaccinating for in 1950 I believe.So if people believe this virus is going to go away, it isn't and you better get used to it just like you have gotten used to every other virus out there that you aren’t terrified of. This virus is still affecting only a very small portion of people, But the fallout from shutdowns is affecting way more people. The real deaths and illness are from the shut downs and lockdowns and bankruptcies and mental health issues. No one in politics or the media or the general population seems to be recognizing that and acknowledging it. Many hospitals are experiencing a huge influx of patients but a massive majority of them are suicides, domestic violence ,drug overdoses, alcohol abuse, manic episodes ,mental breakdowns etc. etc. What they’re doing is not working and will not work. As I said above we have only eradicated one virus from the planet and this will not be the second virus we eliminate. We need to learn to live with it ,manage it and go about our lives. Just as we do with every other threat on the planet
yes and no.
stuck with this? yep.
deaths from covid are not the problem and have not been the problem. stopping the people from going to the hospital is the problem, this will only happen when infection rates go down.
