Some Ignoring Social Distancing Warnings

As the number of COVID-19 cases continue to rise globally, it appears some people still are not heeding to warnings to stay home.

As March break continues, there are reports of hundreds of younger people flooding beaches in Florida.

Some party goers have said ‘if I get the virus, I get it’, some feel the COVID-19 pandemic is blown way out of proportion, and others complain of their travel plans being interrupted.

There are thousands in the States infected, while here in Canada the number infected is well over 700.

British Columbia now leads Ontario with the most cases, closing in on 250. Quebec has now recorded its first death.

And many jurisdictions globally are now considering fines for anyone who doesn’t stay home, or businesses that don’t take restriction.

In between various stints on radio, television and writing, Jason is a dad, a partner and (some would consider) a zoo keeper (seriously, he has a LOT of pets).
