So far no checkpoints going into Winnipeg. It would not surprise me if this was instituted at some point in the not too distant future. So far, new cases here remain at the same level they have been for weeks.
The actions of various provincial governments lately strike me not as an indication that they have a grip on the situation but quite the opposite. It looks like they are losing control both of Covid as a medical issue and also of public confidence.
People are simply getting tired of hearing the same old mantra, "just hang on for a little bit longer, put up with these restrictions and we'll soon reap dividends", only to see their efforts expended for nothing.
There have got to be better solutions that don't involve destroying the economy and turning the country into a vast prison camp with house arrest for all.
