So, today, Alberta lost more people to Covid than the Humboldt bus crash.
Remember when that crash happened? People cried. They put hockey sticks on their porch. They donated millions to a GoFundMe. They demanded justice, and stricter regulations for truck drivers. >

2/ They put stickers on their vehicles in remembrance and support.
But today - we lost more people than that crash.
And what happened?
NOTHING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
No outcry, no mourning, no group remembrance, no GoFundMe, no outpouring of support. Any cries for stricter>

3/ regulations are met with anti-mask protests. Servers who try to enforce masking are assaulted. People who want to protect others are insulted or attacked. Our health workers speak out, just to be insulted by our govt. Our provincial govt turns a blind eye.

4/ those bodies onto a hockey bus, would people pay attention then? Would the Alberta govt pay attention?
What will it take, for people to start paying attention, and take this virus seriously?

5/ deserved more than "oh well, they had comorbidities *shrug*"
These lives deserve more than "hey, the death rate is only ___ (insert rate quoted of the day)%, that isn't that bad."
These lives deserve more than "hey, they were over the age of 82, so they lived a good life>

6/ anyway."
I am so tired of the excuses, of the dismissal of these deaths.
These are people who were important to someone, and who are missed. These are people who made a difference in someone's life.

7/ needs to step up, needs to call out these idiot anti-maskers and partiers and those who refuse to distance.
We could have beat this months ago, but ignorant selfishness has prevented that.
Enough is enough.

Think on that.
End rant.
