POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN OUTBREAK DOESN'T QUALIFY???

"Unless there are some serious or aggravating circumstances where the public safety is at risk, we are not …detaining individuals who are not complying with...the Quarantine Act,” Mooken said."

Businesses are businesses.

Much like air travelers at Pearson, happy pay the fine to avoid a covid hotel, I imagine biz owners are content to take no responsibility for guests in their stores.

At least, not until @fordnation levies fines, regulations to enforce responsibility.

Yes, Dr Google helped me find an online support group after my #braintumor diagnosis. 5 min consult with the neurosurgeon in the ER & so many questions! Online support communities are essential parts of the care continuum. They are for me ❤️ https://www.womenshealthmag.com/health/a35182798/brain-tumor-colloid-cyst-owning-it-2021/
