Re: Could someone help me find the science?

The more I hear from government and health authority officials the more I become confused about the so-called science behind their announcements regarding Covid. Perhaps you can explain the science to me.

For example, six people can live in the same household, but only four of them can eat together at a table in a restaurant; yet in that same restaurant four people from different households can sit at the same table, served by someone they don’t know and receive food prepared by another person who is a stranger.

Why do people flying into Canada (even if they have been vaccinated) have to quarantine for three days at a government designated hotel, while people driving across the border have 72 hours to produce a negative Covid test? How is it truckers, who travel to many different places and are in contact with many different people, are free to travel back and forth across the border on business without question? Where’s the ‘science’?

Why is it when governments shut down or restrict businesses and issue stay at home orders to combat Covid, they still want schools to be open with students and teachers in the classroom? Why is this acceptable according to ‘science’, and yet elected politicians don’t sit together in their respective chambers to conduct business, and places of worship are limited to how many people may worship together. Where’s the science when grocery stores are free to have people from many walks of life come and go on a regular basis, while other businesses must shut down or offer curb service?

Why is it that people who have been vaccinated are still required to wear masks and social distance? What does the vaccine do, or are we still trying to figure that out?

I keep hearing Covid guidelines or health orders are based on ‘science’. Would someone explain the science to me? Like many others, I am confused and just want to be clearly informed. For many the confusion is creating a spirit of fear, while government and health authorities exercise their power and control using ‘science’ to justify their actions. We need more than daily numbers that add to the confusion; we need real, consistent and clear information to cope with Covid.
