27.10.2020 To do, or not to do – that is the question.
We postponed a CanCham event Monday because of the recent rise in COVID-19 cases in Latvia. This resulted in a mixed bag of reactions ranging from appreciation from those fearing instant death from COVID-19 to those questioning the decision who believe it doesn’t exist. Extremes are bad either way! I can appreciate leading politicians dilemma. Any decision can have life or death consequences, whether directly from COVID-19 or more subtly, from the consequences of side effects of trying to avoid COVID-19 related to lockdowns for which there is no readily available information that could the help decision-making process. My personal opinion from what I have read seems to indicate that lockdowns are not good, and that appears to be the governments position as well, so we should try to maintain normalcy as much as possible, and we as a chamber feel that in-person events are important.
For anyone leading any organization, the fact is we are playing Russian roulette when we organize in-person events, and there are consequences for our decisions. This is a heavy responsibility. There is an element of risk in everything we do, but if we take reasonable precautions, we can reduce and perhaps live with the risk. What is disturbing is that there is a significant segment of our society that insist in putting a couple of extra bullets in the magazine to increase the risk. Clearly many are ignoring the simple techniques which include wearing masks appropriately, distancing and hygiene – basically using common sense. We shouldn’t need the government to tell us that.
According to the SPKC (Center for Disease Prevention and Control), when positive test results exceed 3% of tests taken, the spread of COVID-19 is uncontrolled. This seems to be a reasonable indication of risk, and we will use it to determine when we can resume in-person events. Another factor is the SPKC’s ability to track cases. Over the past week, we have been in the 3 to 5% range, the number of positives have increased dramatically, and the SPKC does not appear to be able to track properly. The current situation is not good.
We are closely monitoring the situation and will get back to in-person events as soon as things appear to be more under control.
Ed Kalvins,
Chairman
