The COVID-19 pandemic

I'd be happy to see something similar, but I can understand that it's harder to implement on short notice.

I also think it's irrelevant. There are some assholes who will abuse the system, we have to live with assholes, but they're rare and don't matter...we've seen probably the few hundred people in our city who would do something shitty like that live on TV last night and on social media for the past few weeks.

What matters is that the majority follow this, and the majority will.  It comes down to two things in my mind, it's easier to conform. And some people just fundamentally need an authoritarian to tell them what to do.  This policy has been effective in Guelph according to the delegation there.

Yes. I think it'll be less than 20% of the people refusing, and hopefully well less than 10%. That would already have a significant impact on infection risk, and help us get the number of active cases down to a dozen or two. And get the Ontario new case counts down to low double digits, assuming now breakouts.

Masks now mandatory in almost all of southern Ontario (except York, Niagara and Halton regions):
