FOG BLOG RIDICULOG: 30 NEW CASES TODAY, EDMUNDSTON GOES INTO LOCK DOWN:

WE START OFF THE RIDICULOG WITH TODAY'S COUNT......30 NEW COVID 19 CASES TODAY, ONLY ONE HERE IN SAINT JOHN, BUT WE WILL REMAIN IN THE RED WHILE EDMUNDSTON GOES INTO FULL LOCKDOWN WITH 19 MORE CASES TODAY, THAT'S ALMOST 40 CASES IN 2 DAYS! THIS GOVERNMENT SEEMS TO LIKE BEING REACTIVE INSTEAD OF PROACTIVE.....T.HE WAY I SEE IT WITH THESE SPECIAL CARE HOMES AND LTC FACILITIES ......PEOPLE SUCH AS VISITORS TO PATIENTS , DELIVERY PERSONEL AND STAFFERS THAT WORK AT THE FACILITIES SHOULD ALL BE SCREENED AND TESTED REGULARLY. OBVIOUSLY THE PATIENTS CAN'T FOR THE MOST PART GO ANYWHERE, SO THE SPREAD IS COMING IN FROM ONE OF THOSE AFORE MENTIONED GROUPS.......PROACTIVE WOULD MEAN CLOSE SCRUTINY, LIKE SCREENING, TESTING , IT WOULD TAKE A LOT BUT NEEDS TO BE DONE. JUST WEARING MASKS AND DISTANCING ISN'T PREVENTING THIS SPREAD AND IN EDMUNDSTON DURING THIS 2 WEEK LOCKDOWN, DELIVERIES, STAFF, STILL COME AND GO, EVEN WITH RESTRICTIONS, THERE SHOULD BE STRICT TESTING AND SCREENING, THIS IS THE ONLY WAY IT CAN BE DONE TO REDUCE THE SPREAD. AIRPORTS TAKE TEMPERATURES AND SCREENING, SOME LINES OF WORK DO THE SAME, TIME THE GOVERNMENT OF NB GOT ON BOARD WITH THIS.....TIME TO BRING OUR PROVINCE OUT OF THE RED AND BACK INTO THE GREEN!
