This is just a thought that came to me as I was reading all the comments. If you don’t care and are acting like everyone is infected, why are you arguing with those who want to know more info but are not being invasive to others privacy. If you don’t care, quit reading the comments and go on with your own life, if you are in need of a little more clarity please continue to ask your questions for your own peace of mind. Trying to stop others from asking questions is infringing on their freedom. They may or may not get the answers they are looking for but if you’re not part of the solution then you are being part of the problem.
Some of this information is public knowledge where I am. There’s a government website that shows you where each infected person has been in the last two weeks and what their current health status is. It doesn’t say names but it does help give more information so people can stay safe and avoid certain areas of our town for a few days so the government can disinfect and clean
What’s the website?
My question is what would you do different if you knew if the person was in the Soo or in your area??
And besides that this kind of statement gets people in trouble . You should watch what you say. And post facts not what you heard. Dont we have enough panic as it is…
(Edited as this may have come across a bit unintentionally directed) The location is in Algoma. That’s honestly all (we) really need to know. Numbers are increasing and we haven’t peaked yet so (we need) to keep doing what (we’re) supposed to be doing.
Steve Lahtimer the district is huge. They should be able to break it down and yes we do have a right to know. I have been isolated going on 4 weeks now so I’m doing everything I supposed to and no I dont plan on exposing myself or my kids.
They don’t have to give names or addresses (privacy reasons), but at least a town or city they could at least provide.
Donna Lynn I agree, I have not gone outside my home in almost 4 weeks….wish more people could say the same.
Act like everyone has it. Do your part. There is no need to tell anyone which street they live on or which little town they live in. It’s a ridiculous ask in my opinion. Don’t think for a second that it will be on your street and gossip queens don’t tell you! You’ll know if it’s your neighbours. Stay home – do your part.
Amy Michelle why do you always have to think that it’s a personal thing? Because we want to know what’s in our city does that make us wrong? I have never read that someone wants to know the street or address of someone who has it they just want to simply know if it’s in their city. That’s not too much to ask
Debbie Tremonte “why do I always”? that’s funny. I don’t – I still don’t think it’s any of anyone’s business what town. If you’re acting like you and everyone else has it and taking all the precautions you don’t need specifics. Just pretend all 10 are from your city and every one from now on is in your town/city. simple
Amy Michelle so I guess I can reverse the question to you. Why do you NOT need to know?
Debbie Tremonte because I don’t care. It makes zero difference to how I go about my day. I act like everybody has it – everyone including me
Amy Michelle but you see…I do care. And many others do also. It doesn’t hurt anyone if they are not giving our names or addressees. No malice intended
Debbie Tremonte well they never will so just act like they live in your neighbourhood
Amy Michelle I am. But I do think they should give us accurate numbers. They are taking numbers all over the world. Numbers matter
Ugh! 5G towers. Not even relevant.
Sherry Boissoneau it says travel related and hes been home isolating
What is the reason for the slow results.. the test takes 48 hours .
APH needs to tell the public where these cases are … our district tells me absolutely nothing other than a kilometre range!!!!
Jennifer Major I agree…narrow it down!
Assume everyone has it
Jennifer Major why does it matter ?? If your doing your part then ýou will be fine.
Not enough people taking this serious. Just stay home
Joseph Miskiw actually my husband is an essential worker and is fully stocked on PPE and I am on work from home. Exposure is exposure and I want to know if my husband is safe!!! I feel no need to justify anything. I am afraid of this thing. WOW, your know nothing about me or my health so I believe it is fairly judgemental of you to come up with what I am doing and what I want to justify. How do you know that I haven’t had a lung resection and exposure to this would be deadly to me? Or maybe I have an autoimmune ailment, or maybe my immune system is compromised from chemo/radiation treatments. How do you know. You sound pretty foolish
Ryan Irvine read response below
Queenb Turcotte I agree but it’s not as easy as that. I am working from home but my husband is not so fortunate
Jennifer Major my job also is a essential service myself I have a auto immune disease so I’m gonna stand by my comment if your doing your part and your husband is as well then you will be fine. Maybe in your spare time do a but of research into the effects of the 5G network towers there installing all over the city and in the world. That has me worried what more as you can not protect against that.
Joseph Miskiw bull
Ryan Irvine where in the city are these 5g towers?
Matthew Amy there installing one up at the college.
Jennifer Major what difference will it make if u r staying home.
Roni Dunne explained that above
Jennifer Major Yes people have a right to know what communities have the most people affected.
Jim Sweezey that’s all I’m asking for . If it’s in one community or the other say so… everywhere else is… Sudbury says SUDBURY not SUDBURY DISTRICT…Barrie says Barrie not Simcoe
Jennifer Major You’d probably be better off ignoring most of the people you’re responding to, or, blocking them, if they see they can bother you they’ll keep it up.
Jim Sweezey it doesn’t bother me.
Joseph Miskiw you clearly want to argue but there’s no argument to be had.
There are no 5G towers in the city. I love a good conspiracy theory but come on.
Jennifer Major That’s good
Meanwhile some idiots in this city
