新冠第二阶段
经过三个多月的隔离，现在多伦多及皮尔区终于进入第二阶段， 更多 的工商业及店铺可以开始营业了。 但仍要遵守社交距离及戴口罩， 勤洗 手， 防止病毒的散布。
条文中没有太多的具体说明， 很多具体情况得用常识去处理。 好像 2 米的社交距离， 同坐一桌吃饭可以保持吗？吃饭时不能戴口罩， 边吃边说 又安全吗？
隔离令到经济瘫痪， 不重启经济不行， 所以政府只能硬着头皮开，各 自好自为之， 如果情况一转坏， 又得回到第一阶段。 新冠再次反覆的机会 很高。 中国的北京已是 0 增长了一段时间， 仍不敢全面开放， 最近又发生 了三十多起。 夏去秋来，新冠在这里再次复燃的机会率仍很高， 所以大家 还得非常小心。
我的一些排舞班的学生经过三个多月的隔离， 已开始按捺不住，见第 二阶段开启， 纷纷询问我们可以复课吗？我问了一间任职的老人中心， 他 们地处密市护照办理处的二楼，他们在考虑试用所处商场的停车场教健身， 如果无人投诉就再加多一些课程。 又有学生想试着去公园跳舞。 我要他们 问清楚， 结果市里的回复是：每次不能超过 10 人， 要保持两米的社交距 离，还不能放音乐。跳舞能保持距离吗？没音乐能跳舞吗？不行。又有人说 来我家后院跳，我说如果是跳舞又得保持距离，后院大概只能容 5，6 个 人，邻居会投诉音乐噪音吗？有人在石地上跌倒谁负责？我不觉得可行。不 行，还是耐心等待吧。其实我已将排舞的视屏放在网上，各人可以在家里练 习。但是人是社交动物，具有自然属性及社会属性，隔离限制了人的社交属 性， 一个人跳舞缺乏了社交及沟通的部分， 感觉不一样。
新冠肺炎影响了全世界及全人类，也改变了我们的生活习惯，我们工 作少了，开车少了，购物少了，和人接触少了， 活动少了， 吃少了，穿简 单了，花费也少了。我们不知还要等多久生活才可以恢复正常， 一切在上帝 手中。我们所要做的是信靠及忍耐。有如罗马书 15:5 所说：
但愿赐忍耐安慰的上帝叫你们彼此同心， 效法基督耶稣。
也愿全能上帝赐我们的忍耐和安慰能可以带领我们同心战胜病毒，迎来新生 活。
Stage 2
After more than three months of quarantine, the Toronto and Peel region have finally entered Stage 2, and more businesses and shops can be opened. However, it is still necessary to observe the social distance, wear masks, wash hands frequently, and prevent the spread of the virus.
There are not many specific explanations in the provisions, and many specific situations need to be handled with common sense. It seems that the social distance of 2 meters can not be maintained at the same table, you can’t wear a mask when eating. Is it safe to talk while eating?
Isolation has paralyzed the economy, and it will not work without restarting the economy, so the government can only open up its own head and do its own thing. If the situation deteriorates, it must return to stage 1. The chance of the Covid-19 second wave is high. China Beijing had zero new cases for some time, and it still not fully open. More than 30 new cases have occurred recently. Fall is coming soon, the chance of the second wave is high, so everyone has to be very careful.
After more than three months of isolation, some of my Line dance students start impatient, they are asking me when we can resume the class? We are in stage 2 now. I asked one of the senior centers. They are located on the second floor of the passport office in Mississauga. They are considering trying to use the parking lot of the shopping mall to teach fitness. If there is no complaint, they will add more courses. Another student wants to try dancing in the park. I told her to ask the city. As a result, the city's response was: no more than 10 people at a time, to maintain a social distance of two meters, and no music play is allowed in the park. Can dancing keep the distance? Can you dance without music? No way. Another one said we can dance in my backyard. I said but we have to dance 2 meters away from each other, the backyard could only accommodate 5 or 6 people. Will neighbors complain about music noise? Who is responsible for someone falling on the stone ground? I don't think it works. No. Please wait patiently. In fact, I have put the line dance videos online, everyone can practice at home. However, people are social animals, with natural and social attributes. Isolation limits the social attributes of a person. dancing along it lacks the social and communication parts, it feels not the same.
Covid-19 affects the whole world and all human beings, and it also changes our life. We do less work, less driving, less shopping, less communication, less activity, eat less food, wear simple clothes, and spent less. We don’t know how long to wait for life to return to normal, everything is in God’s hand. All we have to do is trust and be patient. As Romans 15:5 says:
Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be of the same mind one with other according to Christ Jesus.
May the patience and comfort given by Almighty God lead us to overcome the virus and back to normal life soon.
