Here are some notes of my COVID virus life to date.

I was in the two leading stores in Sooke last week for our weekly shop. It happened to me that I required the use of the washroom. I entered the passageway and was warned away by one of the staff. Why? Because of the COVID virus.

Well, this didnB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™t make any sense at all as a visit to the washroom is, by nature, a singular event requiring no other person to be there. No transmission is possible. Annoyed, I carried on and held on until I returned home.

ALSO READ:

Later, I was in the other store, and through curiosity, I asked the staff if their washroom was open. It was. So we have two stores 100 metres apart with differing policies regarding washroom use. Odd!

I also noticed that one store has returned to its personal bag use policy and, naturally, the other hasnB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™t. Equally odd.

DonB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™t these store managers talk to each other? Or is there a provincial policy covering these events but is understood differently?

On a different topic. When will our library open again? I have re-read my library twice B´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·“ not that many books B´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·“ and in desperation, I have to read my wifeB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s Hello magazines. This virus has a lot to answer for.
