Shutdown

We have been shutdown from live classes for 6 months of the last 12 with no end in sight. The government continues to make questionable decisions by loosening restrictions at the same time when they have been forced to convert the Butterdome to a field hospital.

Weak leadership is prolonging the effects of the pandemic and every time the government gives in to pressure and prematurely reduces restrictions, it drives another nail in the coffin of many businesses that have been shut down longer than anyone else.

Judging by the topics of my last few blogs, the inept handling of the pandemic is on my mind a lot lately. Yes, my business and family are suffering because of the shutdown but that does not change my resolve to do what is right. If more restrictions are going to save lives then bring them on. I am not going to start lobbying this government to make yet another bonehead decision to serve my own interests over the public well-being.
