Police can break up gatherings
Police can now break up gatherings and fine people refusing to comply.
Street parking changes that usually come into force on April 1 will be delayed till May 1 and parking stickers will not expire for now.
Donald Trump wants to reduce the social restrictions advised by public health authorities. I wonder how bad it’s going to get down there.

Parking meters still need to be paid. I’d go to donate blood but I’d still have to pay for parking or take the metro, and neither seems ideal at the moment. But I figure even that will end soon (meters, not the need for blood).

I was going to give blood last week until I saw that the nearest clinic was at the Eaton Centre. Public transit and then a mall? No thanks.

But that’s why they are asking people to give blood.
It’s not that there is an increased demand, it”s that they don’t want reserves to go low when people are less likely to donate. Maybe someone who lives nearby or doesn’t feel a hardship will donate for the first time.
They tend to set up a collection point for a few days and then move elsewhere (along with permanent collection points), but maybe those won’t be happening now.
I’ve never given blood, didn’t like the idea of a needle in my arm, but I’ve had so many blood tests in the past year it no longer matters. Except I suspect they don’t want my blood now.
