One would hope that our governments and your readers, particularly those like myself in the same demographic as Mr. Colin Beckingham, (October 1st) dismiss his irresponsible advice with respect to getting the province "back to work and play" as he puts it.
Mr. Beckingham's recent ruminations about the pandemic, in addition to the equally egregious letter by Mr. Rodney Hoff, place a heavy emphasis upon libertarian economic myth rather than scientific evidence. Citizens should be aware that it was the suppression of scientific evidence over the past couple of decades in both the USA and Canada that got us into the pickle of twin crises of climate catastrophe and life-threatening epidemics.
It is bad enough that public health in this region is being threatened already by a noxious minority of self-absorbed students in Kingston without encouragement from some of their elders who also should know better.
