I feel like I didn't give this dumb comment the attention it deserves. It seems like some of you genuinely don't understand that isolation has been extremely difficult for others. "I'm happy, I go dig for clams! Why don't people just go dig for clams and quit whining?" People are not all the same. I suppose that some shut-ins and keyboard warriors here haven't been impacted at all by isolation, but for most people that's not the case. Most people have been cut off from things that are important to them.
Personally I couldn't care less about church, but I can understand that for many people it's a big part of their lives and that being cut off from it has been very painful. People have been cut off from their friends, from dating and socializing, from their sports activities, their classmates, their weekly bridge game or stitch-and-**** gatherings, their coffee groups, and all kinds of other little things that make life worth living. The idea that people can just dig for clams and be happy while they're cut off from people and activities that are important in their lives is just ignorant. It demonstrates a disturbing lack of empathy.
For me, the phase two reopening in BC has felt like a weight being lifted off me. I've seen friends I hadn't seen for 2 months. Being able to reconnect with people and just see that they're okay has meant a lot.

During these last 3 months to of my 3 dogs died. It was tough. I was with them so long. I rescued a dog and it came two days ago. It helps. I find my dogs are the greatest companions helping get through this. A lot of people do. I just hope after Covid 19 they are not a lot of people giving up their dogs. I know some people think I am an
**** but like a lot of people on this forum I love dogs and I know for some people animals have been their saving grace through all this
****. Good for the animals whether its a dog, horse, ferret, bird, horse whatever.
