This is my first post. I'd like to share my experiences. Most of you folks have it easy in your location. I'm from British Columbia, Canada. We have a far left provincial government in place. They take the term "Daddy Government" to uncomfortable levels. I'll give you a run down of what's happening here:
1. Complete mask requirement in every retail & service space.
2. Vaccine mandates for every government employee at every level of government.
3. Vaccine mandates for many corporate organizations.
4. Vaccine passports for all restaurants, bars, gyms, theaters, & stadiums.
5. As of October 30, vaccine passports for ALL domestic flights & rail travel.
We are essentially trapped in our location. Thank God, I still have access to mountain biking. But for how long?
I know many nurses who will lose their jobs very soon due to the mandates. My estimate is a loss of 15-20% of healthcare workers. This will create chaos in an already over burdened public health care system. Combined with the dramatic supply system issues, I can only be pessimistic in my surroundings. Yet, I remain confident & strong.
