Opinion

You don’t have to ask the introverted, homebody-type people among us to “self- isolate” twice. We’ve got this. I was practicing “social distancing” way before a global pandemic inserted it into the language and behaviour of daily life.

I was shocked and horrified to read about the disturbing incidents re: people shooting and killing birds [" PROWLS ," March 8]. The photo of the young, dead gosling, beaten to death by an adult man, was heart-wrenching to say the least.

A detailed plan was explained last week about how the entire hospital system is being reorganized on the fly to cope if a surge of pandemic cases arrives. It’s a sharp contrast to the B.C.

At first, there was one story circulating and I discounted it. Then, a couple of days later, there were two more shared with me, and that’s when I decided to write this letter.

When everything feels like it is falling apart, we often put our physical and mental well-being on the backburner, when in reality, it is one of the things we should prioritize when in crisis-mode.
