BC dudes.
Buddy of mine knows someone who works for the provincial gov't in Victoria, says there's a lot of "full Ontario style lock down" talk around.
Nos obviously nothing has been said to the public and it's definitely just the rumour mill, but any of y'all think it's gonna happen?
I don't think there is enough manpower to enforce a full fledged lockdown in all honesty. That is why I don't think it will happen.
I have been limiting my interactions primarily out of respect and concern for the vulnerable cohorts of the population.
Now that an ever growing group of vulnerable is getting vaccinations I can see support for a full blown lockout waning.
Everyone is sick of going to work to keep the economy going while being expected to further restrict our social interactions.
I think allowing group of up to ten to gather with social distancing in mind outside was a calculated compromise. At least I can go camping and enjoy the outdoors with friends/family.
The majority will comply if outside social distancing is an option. A full force lockdown is going to be met with much more resistance and may end up having a more detrimental effect.
Instead of meeting outside with social distancing measures in place you will just have people meeting inside, in secret instead.
Overall I think the population is becoming increasingly infuriated with a pathetic vaccine rollout, contradictory lockdown rules and a lack of clarity throughout this ordeal.
There is very little room for government to ask citizens for more because the general public feels they have been less than acceptable handling this pandemic.
