Population of B.C. 5,107,000 covid infections 125,000. 2.5%of population infected by covid 99.5% of population infected by government over reaction.

B.C. Premier John Horgan said enforcement is coming for people who flaunt restrictions and are still holding large, private parties.
Horgan said while the province would prefer British Columbians to use their good judgement, escalating enforcement is a possibility, starting with warnings and then getting into severe penalties.
Sounds Orwellian.

36 years later does anyone think that George Orwell would recognize B.C. 2020

Does B.C. 2020 look like Orwell's 1984?

Small point, but covid is not a germ. "Every government in the world is taking drastic steps to mitigate the risks''', same as 1984. "9,000 are dead in Canada", that is about 3% of expected deaths taken over a full year this could be a 6 % increase in mortality rate. People think that the government actions are meant to prevent deaths, they are not, the intent is to let people die tomorrow instead of today.
Damage by virus 6% increase in death rate, damage by government actions, generational debt, loss of majority of small businesses, increase of domestic abuse, increased deaths by drug overdose, increase of mental health issues, separating families through border closures compromised education of our children. On balance the government is doing more damage than the virus.
In 1984 the government controlled the population by repression and intimidation. in B.C. 2020 the government has told people to stay home, and has criminalized the normal operation of restaurants and other small businesses, shut down much of our live entertainment and professional sports, and run a campaign to shame people for social interaction. The real cost is quality of life and personal freedom. Life is more than not dying, the cost is too high for the privilege of dying tomorrow.
Government seeks power and control, doctors want to save us from harm, the media wants to tell a story and sell toothpaste. Terrorize the population and lock them up, and they all get what they want.
