    Right and sadly you can be a carrier and show no symptoms. That would make your first item of the utmost importance, as well as the emphasis on cleanliness.

    Called NS Health Authority. As long as we are working, we need to do all we can to limit exposure. When we are done, and home, we should quarantine. We are no different than anybody else.

    Yes, we are no different than anyone else who is still fortunate enough to be working. Just because we cross the border as part of that work we are no different than the person working at the gas station down the road, the pharmacy, the toilet paper plant or the grocery store.

    Like anyone else we sometimes need to venture out to buy groceries and other supplies.

    Anyway, don't want to argue. I will do my best to follow all distancing and sanitary recommendations but will not quarantine so long as it's not required and I can't see that requirement coming. It's simply not feasible.

    Excuse me? It spreads because reasonable people can understand and follow recommendations and best practices?
