I'm going to be in Montreal Tuesday night. I feel so much safer. Everyone knows the virus is more virulent after 8 pm. Lucky I don't land till 10 pm, so I should be safe.

Not sure why there's no sound? There's a police siren goes off to make her deploy the bag!

The logic defies me as well. We keep tightening the screws and hoping it works, hasn't so far and likely will not. Then what ? We have at least two mutations to deal with now, apparently more contagious, but we are assured our present vaccines will "likely" be effective.  If it's like influenza, we'll never get ahead of the curve.
. Most infected people will develop mild to moderate illness and recover without hospitalization.

It will continue as long as society on a whole allows it. As soon as it seems people are fed up the media will release the next " scare" and people will again dive under their beds. Government is loving the control they have found it won't be given back easily.

Take the jail option TC. That way you'll get the vaccine right away.
Haven't you heard? Canada has a responsibility to vaccinate vulnerable inmates.

Maybe we can sneak in after 8 and start dropping pipelines across the entire province while no ones out and about.

I dont understand the curfew logic either! Wouldn't you rather have services available 24hr? Instead of condensing everything down to 8hr period. At the moment I go grocery shopping for my family at 8pm or 8am depending. I wouldn't do well brackets in between 9-5 bs!

You should think about taking your dog with you. Rent it out for after curfew walks and pay for the trip. 
They are on Kijiji for $50-$100/hour in Montreal.

MONTREAL -- Resisted the urge to get a pandemic puppy? Looks like now you're stuck getting a rental.
A new form of bartering in Quebec probably would have appeared sooner or later, but it appeared almost instantly. After provincial authorities announced a new 8 p.m. curfew -- with one exception for walking dogs -- the online ads began to appear.
"Dogs to rent separately for your outings during the curfew. Accessories supplied," wrote one woman posting on the Kijiji buy-and-sell website on Wednesday night.
The listed price? $100 per hour.
The woman's profile said she lived in Saint-Jerome, about 45 minutes north of Montreal.
The curfew, which begins Saturday and will last for a month, is the first of its kind in Canada. It's meant to help Quebec tackle its soaring COVID-19 infection rate, the highest in the country right now.
Under its rules, the only people allowed to be outside after 8 p.m. are those going to or from work with an employer's authorization letter, going on an essential errand to a pharmacy (grocery stores will be closed by 8 p.m.), or people in the midst of a genuine emergency. They'll also need to provide proof, even if that's just a receipt from the pharmacy.
There's one exception, however: people may walk their dogs at night, as long as they stay within one kilometre of home.
The woman in Saint-Jerome wasn't the only one who smelled a golden opportunity.
Quebec deputy minister: You can't go for a smoke or a walk outside after 8pm, unless you have a dog with you. I'm pretty sure people are gonna start borrowing their neighbour's dogs now.
"Following the curfew imposed by the Quebec government, we are offering dogs for rent for walks between 8 pm and 5 am from January 8 to February 8, 2021," wrote a man listed as being in downtown Montreal.
"Hurry and make an appointment, the available slots are disappearing quickly!"
In a postscript, he added "You have to sign a paper committing to pick up the poop."
Those dog walks are a comparative steal at $50 per hour.
The man later responded to a question from CTV, confirming that "it's a joke  "
When asked if he really had been getting a lot of responses, he said it had been only "laughs and insults."
But the woman who posted from Saint-Jerome later got in touch with a slightly more complicated story. The ad began as a joke, she said.
"I needed to laugh at the situation and get some levity into my day by conspiring with my niece, because these are pictures of her dogs," she wrote.
"On the other hand, I could certainly fill my availabilities for real, with what I see, since there are actually people interested."
Soon after, however, she said people had reported her ad to Kijiji so she planned to delete it.
Neither ad addressed some pressing logistical questions: whether the dogs would be staying overnight with the renters, or if not, how the walker would manage to drop them back off at the owners' house and then get home without being caught by police on the way home.
In any case, Quebecers will have a whole month to figure things out.

Stay safe out there.

Staying at the Marriot right in the airport. Way ahead of you Randy. Then right to departures in the morning. Although I would have hoped my AO family would have my back a little better. Not going to jail.

With that attitude I may not want to come back. Actually I probably won't anyway, but that has more to do with skipping winter.
And I'm probably overdue for a suspension anyway. All the cool kids have one.

No need. If you're worried about a virus infection just use a latex keyboard!

Agree. That was fun back in 1984 when I was a young man, great memories. Now, it sounds like grounds for a very expensive and messy divorce. Social distancing, *ON*!
