We've closed because less than half of 1 percent have tested positive and only 816 active in a city of 1 million? Restaurants and indoor eating shut down, gyms shut down Yet schools and all the big businesses (Walmart, Costco) are open. What are people suppose to do for money that work at the places closed? This is getting fucking stupid.

I am watching a lot of Europe shut down again - the second wave is here. Yeah, it seems like bullshit I know but... they have a reason for shutting it down. We know that not everyone gets tested, so the numbers have always been whacked. The thing we are seeing here in Finland is a lot of the younger people are spreading it. They are not getting sick, but we see outbreaks in the schools, restaurants, and bars. Lapland has a small spike going. Finland is also restricting those venues again, even though the spike is small (just like Ottawa). As our President has said, if we all do our parts, we will be lifting the restrictions in just a few weeks. No, we are not happy, but we don't want any more deaths.
