So, rather than getting vaccinated, you're suggesting everyone getting tested with the rapid test kit before they can enter the building. With 20,000 fans going in to watch a hockey game, do you think they can seat everyone before the game ends? Also, even if you're tested 24-48 hours with a negative result, what makes you think you won't be infected within that time frame? C'mon, where's the common sense here? The vaccine and masks are there to not only protect you, but others that you come in close proximity to elsewhere. |
That's your choice. Go and get 100 vaccines if you like. I'm not suggesting everyone should get tested. That is impractical for most people. However, I don't see the danger to society if those who choose to get tested a certain timeframe before the event, go and do that. The federal government is allowing people to enter the country with a negative test 72 hours before arriving.
Canada is a place of freedom. If someone is proven to test negative for Covid, they are technically not a health risk and should not be discriminated against for attending an event.
