We all need to be responsible right now

By Letter to the Editor on April 30, 2021.

Editor: What is wrong with Albertans? We have the highest per capita rate of COVID-19 cases in all of Canada. What is wrong with people in Lethbridge? A city of about 100,00. We have 421 active cases in the city alone which is twice as many as the whole province of Saskatchewan. Why? Who are the people spreading this virus? Don’t they care about anyone except their “own freedom” to infect us?
I received my second vaccine shot today. The clinic at the Exhibition Grounds is being even more vigilant about safety protocols but still cases are exploding here. It is time for everyone to act responsibly so that we can get this virus under control. Wear your mask (properly), social distance, avoid gatherings, wash your hands, and sanitize. I haven’t seen my grandchildren for a year-and-a-half. If I can do it, so can you.
