Also, found out my moms friend was in Wuhan, and rushed back to Taiwan, and then Vancouver, because she feared borders may close (before wuhan) went on lockdown. She flew to Taiwan first, because she was afraid she’d be asked if she was in wuhan...  
It’s been over a month though, so guess she’s in the clear, but wow, this honour system of Canada’s is so naive, and irresponsible |
I can't say Canada is stupid. My friend, currently staying with us right now, was 2 states beside Wuhan before CNY. When they saw Wuhan had red flags, they left. Then Wuhan locked down. Quarantined for 14 days in China, then flew to HK before it shut down, then another quarantine for 14. HK for 3 weeks and now in Canada.
We had utmost respect when they told us their experience being only able to walk at the park for 1 hr a day, and 1 person allowed to buy groceries.
"You really can't hide from the internet, they can track you." *duh... "If you wanted to leave (back then), you can easily go to Eastern Europe, drive/fly within Europe and leave; lots of money & hours wasted but hey.. if you want to leave, there are ways."
I don't understand what people want Canada to do? Start shutting borders? Lock people up?
When Canada is ranked at #22 on the global charts with 46 cases only (march 6) and when countries (swizerland + spain + norway with double / triple the caes) aren't even merely reacting crazy... why would Canada impose any crazy shutdowns is beyond me.
