Obviously it’s probably a union thing but given it’s a publicly funded entity you’d think if anyone was going to be following the strictest of safety protocols it would be them. They have obviously assessed the risk and deemed dealing with thousands of complete strangers every single day is not enough a risk to enforce masks.
But hey, It’s not like they have doctors, consultants, experts in the field providing them information to make these decisions with.
Like do whatever ya want, but odds dictate rationale choices at some point. There are currently around 500 active cases in BC, a province of 5 million. Therefor you have 0.0001% of the population that is a potential Source of exposure. There are probably more people in hospital with Sunburns in BC than covid at the moment.

You're on a roll with answering your own questions today.
Yes, 500 active known cases, but still every day currently 100+ people are newly testing positive. Statistics and numbers and probabilities don't mean shit if you've either been personally affected by covid, have children or immuno-compromised people at home, or are just less risk-averse.
To say shit like dur hur more sunburns in hospitals than covid is leaning into the realm of stupidity, and shows that you somehow think this is all over, which is why you're getting backlash. As it was during the peak of covid, it's the ignorant minority that are the biggest threat (in this case anti-vaxxers and the morbidly stupid, of which I know you aren't.)
We should absolutely be opening up (and we are), but at a controlled pace (as we are). This is far from over, and a lot of people are taking this one step at a time - you don't have to agree with them, but at least don't be a dick.
