[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 75483011, member: 123415"] While Canada may be a close competitor in terms of some exports, that's certainly not true of all exports. I certainly can understand why the tone he used could be construed as xenophobic, however, naming a virus after the region it came from isn't exactly a new thing...and I can especially see why he might have said that as a defensive approach when people started blaming him for it instead of the country that originally dropped the ball. West Nile Zika Virus Ebola MERS Rocky Mountain Fever The Bill Maher Video called "New Rule: Virus Shaming" sums it up nicely (can't link it directly due to language) ...but how that correlates to the above types of travel restrictions, if outdoor, mostly distanced interactions aren't a major vector of transmission, then we should've never seen this: [IMG]https://thelocalmalibu.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/surfer-arrested-covid-19-1024x714.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.mercurynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/surfer_list.jpg?w=585[/IMG] People surfing in the ocean (not near anyone else) shouldn't have ever been prohibited...especially not if this isn't being demonized: [ATTACH=full]287956[/ATTACH] [IMG]https://dynaimage.cdn.cnn.com/cnn/c_fill,g_auto,w_1200,h_675,ar_16:9/https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.cnn.com%2Fcnnnext%2Fdam%2Fassets%2F200601103542-02-floyd-intl-protest-0531-auckland.jpg[/IMG] In fact, the police actually arresting the surfers is doubling their amount of exposure to people than if they'd have just left them alone.
