The new measures will go into effect on Wednesday at 12:01 a.m. and be in place for at least three weeks (until Jan. 26) before being reassessed.

So what's going happen when we reopen and cases go back up in April

Are we going to repeat this every time

I means what's the end game plan :francis:

Yes. Lockdowns are here to stay as their trump card.

Need to accept this shot as being long term and prep hospitals and schools better. Public transit, etc. no more half measures. If we going to live with it then we need to make adjustments to hospitals so thry can handle the urge.

I don’t know I’d there are any easy solutions really.
