Sorry that you feel that way. Is there anything that I could do to change your mind?

One, I was not speaking to you, and two, I do believe that you broke your New Years resolution because of little ol' me?

Take care. Times call for being kind. You choose your path, and I will take mine.

It's gotten so bad here that stores are sold out and people are trading sex for food.

It's just crazy.

Wow, this is getting serious.

B.C. health officials discouraging 'all non-essential travel' outside Canada




That's the smartest move by a government yet. Don't wait until the numbers mount, your services are overwhelmed and it's too late. And forget the 1 or 2 time forehead fever scan.

My question is how will they handle the quarantine? Will there be quarantine facilities at every crossing???

I hope it's not self quarantine?

I just reread the quoted text. This is for Canadians returning from outside the county, correct? What about non-resident entry? Are they going to close the border?

I suspect it may indeed be self quarantine, but with call ins required every day and maybe at home checks by some official authority to make sure you are there.

I don't remember now whaich area here in the US was already doing it, but there was a pretty significant fine for breaking self quarantine as well. Denver maybe...I think I posted the text of the order on one of the previous pages. .. Yep..Denver.

9NEWS: How long does the quarantine last?

Zimmerman: When we’re looking at COVID-19 specifically, we know the incubation is between two and 14 days. When we look at someone who could have been exposed, we take the exposure date and add 14 days. That’s how long the quarantine is.

9NEWS: How are the quarantines enforced?

Zimmerman: We do daily check-ins. We don’t go physically all the time, it depends on the level. If they are calling us and reporting their temperature and whatever symptoms they’re supposed to log, we can touch base with them and say, 'hey, were you able to stay in today, did you do anything you weren’t supposed to?' So it is a little on the honor system.

9NEWS: Is there a penalty if people don't obey them?

Zimmerman: People can be subject to up to 300 days in jail or a fine. If they don’t comply.

9NEWS: Can people say no to a quarantine?

Zimmerman: Since it is going through the city, there is an appeals process. We haven’t had that happen yet. We allow people to say no and it would go before a judge.

9NEWS: Are people quarantined at home or at a hospital?

Zimmerman: Often, quarantines are at home because they are asymptomatic so they don’t actually need any medical care. When we’re talking about isolation, same thing. If they can manage their own symptoms they stay at home in isolation. If they need to be hospitalized, then they stay in isolation there.

Here are the rules for the quarantines released by the DDPHE:

You shall be confined to your home and shall not attend any public gathering, provided no symptoms of illness develop in the interim.
You are not allowed to attend childcare, school, or work, provided no symptoms of illness develop in the interim.
You may not use public transportation.
You may not have visitors at the home unless they are determined by DDPHE to be adequately protected and have an essential need to be in the home; this is in effect until termination of these quarantine orders.
DDPHE staff will contact you daily, with possible in-home visits as necessary, to monitor your health.
You shall monitor your health, including logging and reporting to public health daily the following signs and symptoms:
Fever. Take and log temperature twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening
Cough
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing.
Chills, body aches, sore throat, headache, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, runny nose
