Plague Update: SK Gov Asks People To Watch NFL In Restaurants

Feb. 7, 2021 – emailed the Premier and my MLA.

Dear Premier Moe:

It’s no secret that your weak response to the pandemic has given us Canada’s most shameful second wave. Manitoba realized they were on track to be Canada’s disaster epicentre, and used an effective lockdown to return to just poor numbers. By avoiding an effective lockdown, like you managed in March and April 2020, you’re killing dozens, if not hundreds of people. You’re endangering our agricultural sector, our wild game, and the possibility that a vaccine will lead us out of this global emergency.

Here are MB stats:

The 7-day rolling average in #Manitoba is at 96 cases/day and 2 deaths/day: pic.twitter.com/B0QfIO119Q

If you’re not willing to protect the lives and livelihoods of the people you’re elected to govern, you should resign and let someone more capable in your party do it.

Sincerely,
John Klein
Regina

Meanwhile in this crazy province where the Premier has already had to quarantine from exposure to the virus in a restaurant setting:

No! It doesn't matter that the #Sask gov't foolishly allows it. Because they think the economy is worth triple digit daily infections & 5-10 dead people each day. Do curbside pick-up. From local. Do not dine in. Do not go to a sports bar. Don't die. Stay healthy & alive. #covid19

Even if I watched #NFL (I don’t), and even if there wasn’t an NFL team playing with a racist name (there is), I’d boycott it for how they forced players to play a game during a pandemic. Every level of it is disgusting and inhumane.

And to the civil servant(s) enabling the Premier’s deranged propaganda:

It’s criminally irresponsible to encourage people to dine in restaurants during the 2nd wave of a pandemic. You’re actively harming people by legitimizing bonkers behaviour. I hope you can live with yourself later. Get help if not.
