Oh for goodness sakes people, suck it up and social /physical distance, wear a mask and wash your hands.

It really is not that hard.

Dr. Bonnie Henry does not want to make masks mandatory. Dr. Henry, I do love ya, but I don’t really want COVID-19 either.

As to the numbers increasing because of the Kelowna parties, you must have known, those of you involved. Shame, shame, shame. And Mayor Ken Popove, how many of those Cultus Lake revellers are wandering through our community, sneezing and coughing and breathing and carrying on?
