Of course it’s horrifying, especially since these actions are supported by a majority of the population.

There are a few countries with little or no entry restrictions. Mexico in particular is fairly close to Canada and is open. If you are able to work remotely, I’d strongly suggest looking into it. Canada is not going to change its policies anytime soon, sadly.

I’m not sure what the restrictions are, but can they actually prevent you from leaving if you are flying internationally? What about for a medical or other “official” purpose?

Edit: seriously scary that this post is flagged. Not cool.

Yeah, this is some serious mass hysteria, and it's not getting better.

They are pinning one side against the other, and it's propelled by the government.

You can't even search COVID related terms in Google without it being regulated. Try searching anything related to anti-vax. They have pushed up all the government sites at the top of the rankings for any searching that have the word COVID in it. Things are bonkers.

Indeed. Any mild criticism is immediately flagged, downvoted, and deleted. I don’t care how serious the pandemic is, it doesn’t justify mass hysteria.

As I said, I don’t see this changing anytime soon. Your best bet is likely Mexico and/or a way into certain US states like Texas or Florida. Not sure if you can get a permanent residence card from abroad, but it may be something to investigate.

I posted this on here because I thought I can open an intellectual dialog, where we can have a mature chat. Instead, my post gets flagged, for who knows what.

Seriously losing all respect for this site - it's the same as every other place that is supporting this mass hysteria.

At this point, not sure what to do.

Thanks, I've posted it there as well.
