One of the many truisms this pandemic has exposed is that the cities we have are not the cities we need. Toronto, as with everything Covid-19 related, has been slow to admit and act on it
. Calling out people’s perceived moral failings doesn’t fit that philosophy.
It’s also clear that public-health messages aren’t reaching them. That must be fixed because this is the demographic that will be the first back to work when we ease restrictions on retail shops and restaurants.The way to get people to respect physical distancing and limits on group size is not with contempt and condemnation.
We aren’t going to find our way out of this pandemic with the measuring-tape police, with heavy-handed policing, or a mob mentality.Casual outdoor transmission of the coronavirus is possible, but it’s the least of our worries.
