    Default Covid restrictions - NO social gatherings - did you follow the rules?

    I'm sure this will devolve into bickering, but looking for a snapshot. Did you personally follow the "No indoor or outdoor social gatherings" rule completely since they came into effect on December 8?

    Based on my personal discussions. I'd guess compliance is under 50%

    Poll is private.

    We've been pretty close to perfect, yeah. But we were pretty conservative about covid even before that.

    Now that SuperCOVID from the UK is here, though, we're all fucked.

    I agree. We haven't shamed anyone in days. New Year's truce has got to be over by now.

    I know multiple families that have been hosting events. Some outdoors that seem low risk, some indoor "regular Christmas" that seem high risk. Both types prohibited. It's weird how many people are flaunting thier lack of compliance.

    The government did allow 2 single people to visit per household during christmas (technically a social gathering) so I don't think the poll will be wholly accurate.

    Pretty easy to have big balls when there are no consequences.

    Quebec has been doing it right, issuing hundreds of tickets.

    You are never going to get everyone, but you need to nail enough people to make the rest think twice.

    Nobody really cares about community transmission any more, though. You are either trying to prevent yourself from getting sick, or you aren't.

    Our house has, mostly. We have still had home care workers come to the house for the MIL fairly regularly, so I don't know if that counts. My youngest daughter also comes from her mom's house every week. And one time I did have a buddy come over for an evening to play kitchen table magic at the end of November, otherwise, yes, we have been in compliance.

    We could be resolving out budget crisis if we just started implementing stupid taxes!

    I can't believe I'm saying this - we should be following quebec's lead!

    Poor and isolated - Yup, didn't leave the house or have anyone over.

    Bad on me for talking in absolutes. The population in general isn't as concerned about it as much as they were in say, April.

    Had both sets of parents over during the holidays, but they also care for my kid regularly. I think that is technically against the regulations. Have been meeting friends with kids at the playground or to to tobogganing. Which is also on the darker side of grey.

    Two moms were discussing vacations to Mexico at the rink today, with some of their friends having returned recently. They were so engrossed in the conversation that they didn't notice my slew foot on their annoying kid. I did my part for society.

    Had two family gatherings with immediate family only (parents and 2 sisters).

    I’ve also played outdoor hockey a couple times.

    Zero shame, or guilt.

    I would agree that generally speaking no one seems to give a fuck about anything these days, except for where UCP members went in vacation

    I went back to SK to my mom and dad's. Against the rules here I think, but okay there.

    No gatherings, but not like we were huge party goers to begin with. Stick with outdoorsy stuff when we can.

    Work has been back normal since August except addition of masks and hand sanitizer everywhere. If there is any spreading of Covid, it will be there, not at the house. Nothing about my job is essential, like anything in government. It’s only a matter of time before we get shut down with a case and contract tracing goes back to everyone.
