Has Anybody Gone Too Far In Protesting COVID-19 Safety Protocols?

Depending on how you look at it, a recent post on social media was either sad or humourous. It showed a bottle of booze being poured over a bowl of cereal and underneath it said “Breakfast in the pandemic.”

There’s little doubt that’s how many people feel since COVID-19 began disrupting our lives more than a year ago.

Last Wednesday in Ontario was a perfect example as the third state of emergency since the pandemic began was declared in that province, with a mixed reaction of understanding and outrage from its citizens.

COVID fatigue isn’t exclusive to Ontario. Across this land, it reaches new levels with every lockdown or restriction and it is occasionally directed at the wrong person, such as an employee, who is only trying to enforce safety protocols that are necessary in the pandemic.

In the golf industry, we’re into the second year of such protocols that have helped make golf courses safe havens for recreation, but have you ever seen a member or customer go over the top in protesting or resisting such protocols, or even wearing mask?

That’s the question in this week’s GNN Poll.
