Dear Sault Ste. Marie Police,
On April 13th, a mother took a child to stay with her mother who works at a high risk environment for COVID-19, a long term care facility. The family had agreed for the kids and mother to stay away for this reason.
On April 13th, when we called with our concerns, you told us that nothing could be done because there was no community spread. Little did you know that on that same day, a women was being tested for Covid 19 who had no contact except with people from Sault Ste. Marie; she tested positive. That means there are far more people in the community who have Covid-19 without awareness and spreading it without awareness. But any person in their right mind, would never put a baby in an even potentially unsafe place where a killer virus might lurk.
I am very disappointed in Sault Ste. Marie’s lack of safety procedures where Covid-19 is concerned.
Sadly Disappointed,
Natashya Rae Rice
It’s everywhere
Remember that not all of us will get the severe form. It’s mostly elderly and people with health conditions. Most cases are mild.
But yeah, probably a good idea to use common sense, wash your hands and practice distancing when going out so you can avoid getting the virus.
Lol.. it’s a virus and people get viruses.. so many medical articles coming out now stating this bug is not worse than the flu.. I really don’t care what the fear mongers have to say.
Lorraine you must like gambling.
Nancy Mcd no I like truth
They love to live in fear in the first place and will listen anything the media has to say.
Lorraine Rae Anne provide your source for your statement.. .we have passed that point long ago…avg flu mortality is .02% avg mortality depending in country 14% in UK…down to 3% in Canada…and many have long lasting health issues and a long recovery.
Sylvia Haavisto no we didn’t. The numbers are skewed and many health providers are confirming they are grouping deaths together., but can’t source anything in here because this source and soo today don’t allow us to post articles in this forum., but try researching.. really easy to find hundreds of sources.
Lorraine Rae Anne
Make sure you use reputable sites.
Wendy Robertson I’ll take the word of the people who work in it and have seen with their own eyes over the skewed stats..lmao..
I bet you think Trump is the epitome of truthfulness too 🤦♂️
Jeff Holmes has nothing to with Trump. 🤦♀️ what a stupid thing to say.
Sylvia Haavisto find your own sources, if you’ve got a brain in your head and some thumbs……stop being a sheep

Nope he happens to be a very intelligent individual. Knows more than you do!!!
If only it were about “just getting a virus”. This is about the strain on the healthcare system. It’s about not overloading the hospital and staff. It’s about the health support being there when it’s needed. It’s NOT just the old who are sick or experiencing complications and need support. A Broadway actor is losing his leg because of this, health care workers are dying because they’re ‘catching just a virus’. Give your head a shake. and look at someone else rather than just your own self.
Only us as individuals can stop this virus..We all been so spoiled in Canada 🇨🇦 we expect our government to fix everything and they do so now they our asking for help … They our asking us to stay home ..They our asking us to wash our hands…They our asking us to stay 6 ft apart… Please do what they say it’s time to give back to our beautiful country called Canada…
Well well said
The virus lurks amongst US not just elderly. It is way too late to start blame game. It is time to be proactive be responsible for your actions. Focus on you because that is the only person you can be reassured is taking responsibility.
Everyone should be tested in the sault, even if we are not showing the symptoms. That’s what need to be done.
I want to no every place this young women has been!!! The lack of information in this city reeks!!! Us as a community need info on these cases. 1positive case only leads to 100’s!!! Whoever was waiting in line in front of her or behind her in a lineup , in passing at a convenience store bank etc!!! Come on Sault Ste. Marie!!!
I share your concern. We all want our family and friends to be safe. We’re scared and we want this to be over. However, the police can only enforce the law. If this situation is not against the law, what would you like to be done? Every organization big and small are trying to adapt their procedures and policies to best adapt to our times, which sometimes changes by the hour but it is easier said than done. Thank you to all those on the front lines and operating at the municipal, provincial and federal level for doing their best to manage the situation.. I wouldn’t want to be in your shoes.
I think something could have been done. What about breaking the social distancing rule…isn’t there a fine for that? They couldn’t do anything because there was no community spread sounds like a lame excuse to me.
So you expect them to predict the future? Why are you directing your letter to the police?
