Canada must do everything that can be done to stop the coronavirus. Time is running out GlobeDebate
‘My child’s school has closed. Now what do I do?’ And more coronavirus questions answered by André Picard
Also this weekend, social media was replete with postings from people at Canada’s busiest airport, Pearson International in Toronto, who reported that when they returned from overseas, they were crowded into long lines at customs , were not screened in any meaningful way, and entered the country without so much as a suggestion to quarantine themselves.
Canadians are prepared to accept burdens and hardships to defeat the menace, because victory means avoiding much greater burdens and hardships in future. The good news is that it is possible to halt the spread of COVID-19, if the right actions are taken. Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan took tough measures and have succeeded. Despite their close connections with China, the starting point for the pandemic, they have endured nothing like Italy’s explosive outbreak.
Last week, we wrote that “no one ever regretted being over-prepared for a disaster." And we recommended that the best way for Canada’s governments to prepare was “by being over-prepared.” We stand by that. That’s why Ottawa and the provinces should not just take the minimum measures necessary. Go further. Get ahead of the virus, if it’s still possible. If more social distancing is needed, and if more places where people meet need to close, close them, immediately. Canadians are ready.
