IF, this guy (couple) is Canadian - I'm embarrassed !
Unacceptable by any standard, by anyone !
Proof there's pompous, arrogant, ignorant, self-entitled people every where.
Lock him up ! Lock him Up !
(I hope) Pay Back is going to be a bitch from the moment they begin their return home..........to a quarantine facility !

Diversity has many shapes... I've seen it, because I traveled extensively. You would have no idea how many and how much attitudes often change when abroad paying with dollars, putting locals down like if they own them. There is lots of low life and arrogant people, no matter what ethnicity, nationality or religion. Humanity is a sad species.

Just to add to this, as I've been thinking today. I think the big change observed in people, depending on situation they are in, not just travel, but let's say even at work. 0r anywhere, when one suddenly is in position of power. Being a boss, a policeman, a doctor, teacher, richer than another, and so on. I think that change in many people is often superficial. In fact, they've been just good at hiding who they really are. A change in environment tests their character, and the real who they are comes out.

What a time to be alive and witness seismic changes in evolution. This corona virus, a living organism fights and thrives to survive on this planet in humans and animals now. We as humans fighting back for the right to survive in co-existence with this virus. Social Darwinism is rearing its ugly head. Physical distancing in place to try and limit the spread of this virus until we can better tolerate it or antiviral out of it, has reduced the driving of hydrocarbon fueled vehicles by 30 % which has resulted in a notable change in the ozone depletion and has started a healing effect on the world. Wind currents are making notable change in meteorology. It will be interesting to see if the polar ice caps start to return in the coming months. At the last UN Climate Change Summit, there was a reluctance to commit to any limitations on hydrocarbon emissions by various countries and little to no support on Green Energy Technology advancement and yet one month of reduced use of hydrocarbon burning has resulted in a notable climate change. For those who believe that reducing hydrocarbon emissions will have no effect on climate change- Wake up and smell the roses now that the pollution is lower and you could smell the roses !!

In Canada 22,148 cases of Covid of which 6,013 have recovered and 569 deaths. A lot of the deaths are showing up in the elderly folks living in long term care facilities and old age homes. Such a shame considering that these facilities were put in place to allow them to live out their lives in peace and tranquility. It would appear that the hospitals are managing somewhat and I would expect that in the coming weeks we will learn better techniques for caring for the sick. It has been noted that these old age facilities are operating on part time staff ( under 28 hours/week) so that health and insurance benefits are not required to be paid to the employees so these employees need to carry 2 jobs in order to be able to pay the bills. These employees tend to hold positions at multi old age facilities and cross transference of Covid is happening between facilities due to the movement of the staff. Our government has stepped in and declared that workers can only work at one facility at a time.
Stay Safe. Stay Home.

I came across this Poem about the UK fight against Corvid 19, but its a universal message: not often you get poetry on a biking forum, but please humour me on this its only 2 mins long, and acknowledges the debt we all owe to our respective health care providers, bravely fighting this awful virus.

Have to say it put a lump in my throat watching the video.

Well, whom are we kidding?... The point about evolution is more than very valid, Kawboy. Looking at the history of the world, where do humans fit? In about a 2 second in 24 hours? What a joke. Yet we think we can rule the earth. Right. Human race, when you look at it objectively, is like mold. A cancerous growth on Earth. Even worse - a virus with attitude. 0ozing all sorts of fluids, contaminants, eating everything to sustain, eating their own to survive like primitive cells of own species, ever expending, and at such rate that surpasses any healthy evolution. Human race is a disease. So what's the outrage when one disease meets another? There is not much difference between the corona virus and us. Except, we are way more viscous. And on the philosophical side, nature tries to take care of itself. Dinosaurs were ruling the planet for how many years? The disappeared how many millions of years ago? How about sharks or crocodiles? And the growth on rocks around Australia that is said to be still the same as it was billions of years ago when Earth was starting up? Yes, it's a very long history of come, gone, and some stay. Where do humans fit? With their apparently modern what, 5 thousand years? 0r 3 millions since we were supposed to be apes? Even that, the 3 million, is nothing!!!! But now, in 2020, the wise heads know it all and preach. how about perhaps human race is a very volatile short lived disturbance? Is extinction of one species a tragedy, as we process it having conscience, or trying to save it, we are in fact working against the planet? Live and let die? The human brain is a cancer, and conscience is a symptom of the disease of having imagination. A counterweight actually, to balance free creativity. But does that justify what we do? What we say is right? Nope.

Well, this pandemic will pass, the Trump and Trudeau will be forgotten, and the KZ1300 will find the same fate. 0blivion. Nobody will know who you were in a hundred years. Shit, I'd say 50! How about a 1000! And that is nothing, absolutely nothing, in the history of the world.
