Now What?

The provincial government has announced phase 2 of our second reopening. As with every other announcement coming from this government concerning this pandemic, it will take a while to decipher the intent behind their announcement. It always takes a day or two to confirm whether or not we are affected and how.

From what I have been able to discern so far, we can open up as long as we do not have high intensity workouts, everyone wears a mask, and we maintain 3 metres distance from each other. This is only a small step up from allowing private one on one lessons.

To be clear, I am not an advocate for a partial reopening. The economy, or anyone’s house for that matter, is not worth a single life. Our premier has proven that poor leadership prolongs the effects of a pandemic. Businesses like mine are experiencing death by 1000 cuts. We were the first to be shutdown and we will be the last to open up. If we all worked together and handled this decisively, this pandemic could be behind us.

“Decisiveness is a characteristic of high-performing men and women. Almost any decision is better than no decision at all.” - Brian Tracy (b. 1944)
