As expected, Twitter’s reaction to British Columbia suspending indoor dining along with group fitness, Whistler Blackcomb and more this afternoon was quick and,frankly, exactly what you think it was.
At the moment, there are plenty of question marks around the way our Province has handled the pandemic, and what’s to come in the near future.
Naturally, it didn’t take long for people to share their two cents on the situation as Twitter became flooded with reactions to the news.
Here’s what people had to say:
I have 0 complaints about indoor dining being restricted in BC simply because I hate working

@DrBonnieHenry @adriandix @jjhorgan should have done a proper shut down this winter, instead of just waiting for the vaccines while intl flights come in daily, ppl traveling around the country, etc. Of course the #’s went up. Typical backward approach.

March Madness has a whole other meaning here in #BritishColumbia. #COVID19 #bcpoli

She told people to travel to other areas and stay in a family bubble and go to family cabins. Now she’s saying oops bad idea. Funny how it’s only bad now that spring break is over and over more $ to be made. Same with Whistler…closed after spring break?!

So the BC Gov't is halting indoor dining… if they still allow church and other indoor activities to continue I'm going to throw a table. #bcpoli #covid19

Henry is right about one thing.
Outdoors is far, far safer than indoors. Even lift lineups with a mask on are no worse than waiting outside a store.
Going to the mountains is pretty safe. Whistler closed because of restaurants, partying, shared accommodation for employees.

So apparently there is no more indoor dining offered at BC restaurants. (For whatever reason).
Dr. Henry and the BC government continue to display ZERO consistency in the handling of COVID-19. #Thanks

Two weeks ago, #BC announced allowing of gatherings of up to 10 people outside. Now, major restrictions return to indoor settings. So frustrating.

Unreal. @WhistlerBlckcmb closed, BC indoor dining closed, gyms closed… "Vaccine ahead of schedule"? This feels a lot like square one, @jjhorgan. #COVID19

Clearly Dr. Bonnie Henry and her team have learned absolutely nothing from the past year. If you're going to shut down indoor dining, you'd be better off locking everything down 100% for the 3 weeks and be done with it. #britishcolumbia #covidbc

I'm surprised it took this long for BC to pause indoor dining.
