Why are more Canadians starting to defy public health advice? Explaining 'isolation fatigue'

Bowman says part of the reason for this behaviour lies in something called "isolation fatigue," which he describes as a psychologically-based restlessness. Some people, he explains, have had enough of being physically isolated and want to begin interacting with the outside world again.

“Having things to look forward to is a natural human process that we all live by – the anticipation of events are very psychologically important to all of us,” he explained. “Before all this, potentially you had a dinner on a weekend [or] a vacation coming up…all of that’s fallen off – you don’t even have a sports game you can watch anymore.

Toronto’s Medical Officer of Health Dr. Eileen de Villa also addressed the actions taken by numerous residents over the weekend, calling it “dangerous” and “selfish”While Bowman acknowledges that the behaviour can be seen as selfish, he holds short of calling it that himself.

Yup - between early March and now, we have been pummeled with scary stories by the media on a daily basis. At some point, people become desensitized and just say 'well eff it then. If I die, I die.' The message needs to evolve.

Isolation fatigue? Seriously You can’t fix stupid!! We are all done with this but the smart ones know NOT to do this!!

So is isolation fatigue the new definition for being an ass?

No, it is just plain stupidity. Experts are full of s%t on this one.

Isolation fatigue, what a joke it’s called selfishness

Fake news

China’s to blame for this virus remember that.

Why more the just one top doctor or 1 expert like you guys usually report.

No.. People do not like being controlled. Stop trying to normalize isolation....

The Darwin Club for Dummies. So you want to party. Party with a diaper and a ventilator to breath

Marilyn31682963 Isolation fatigue? Get over yourselves.

Why are you repeating yourself. You said this a few hours ago. Move on

Don’t forget stupidity as well.

Isolation fatigue, eh? No sh*t, Sherlock. What did they pay that 'expert' to come up with that deep analysis?

No F'ln Excuse for what they did.Don't try too Down Play it.Bad choice of words Isolation Fatigue. What if this should happen again they'll use this as there excuse everytime Why is it that People don't think before they Speak?

Many people have sacrificed their fatigue so that other people are not killed, but some people are just selfish. I work as I am essential(for no reason) but never went out to park or took a take out or had a get together since lockdown; I am also tired of being locked down.

Blame China and Justin for not closing boarders and stopping flights

Assholes. Dont try to doctor it up. They are, each and every one of them, simply assholes. I've been laid off & locked down since March 17. I go on little walks, get food delivered. Its not that hard. Assholes. Period.

Toughen up

BS

The other part is a big F U to people like you CTV

MORONIC. FOREIGNERS

Yeah, I'm going with a competing hypothesis: selfish morons

Lying doctors and politicians, killed the economy, 2 months of house arrest, for the flu! Open it up or the people will on their own

This is ridiculous, obviously some liberal drama machine spinning this up as a big deal. Who the hell cares!

That doesn’t explain why the Toronto mayor was there at the park Saturday, not wearing his mask properly.

It's called cabin fever. Don't label it fatigue when people are doing nothing.

Your wrong....Blame China

So fatigue explains and partially justifies them gathering in huge numbers and getting drunk? Like there are no safer alternatives? Lol. What’s the excuse for not social distancing on sidewalks - too difficult to move left or right a few feet? Massively self absorbed generation.

What is to blame is the sociopathic nature of these people. They could care less who they harm or kill. All that is important to them is how they feel, and what they want regardless of who they hurt. DO NOT say 'Oh it's because they have been isolated.' Pure BS is I ever heard it

It took an expert to come up with that solution? No shit Sherlock, it's still wrong and no excuse.

open the economy Period Why does CTV not cover the massive food lines in Toronto? Why does CTV not talk about the 25 percent permanent unemployment. Canceled surgeries killing Canadians on mass.

'...Those who choose the lesser evil forget very quickly that they chose evil.' — Hannah Arendt

I dont want to retweet that it's to sad

Can black or brown people have isolation fatigue or is it only exclusive to white people?

Ppl are sick and tired of being prisoners

.

So that’s the excuse?

You posted this earlier and I’ll repeat: they all know and about 3\\4 of the people who respond to this tweet know your precious baby covid is a bad flu.

Cause we can amd you be fam if you think Trudeau is going to tell us different

But mostly due to a total failure of our political leaders and media to tell us the truth.

Because no human contact and interaction is unhealthy!

Isolation fatigue? Are you really that stupid ? 🙄

Our PM, premier, and mayor have all broken the rules, they know the answer the best.

Time for media to move on this story is getting old.

You know who’s fatigued? Health care workers.

10 weeks & counting into a purported 2 week response cycle might be a clue

🙄

A popular article about the CDC report is this one:

A new CDC Report reveals that the COVID19 infection mortality rate in the US is 13 TIMES LOWER that initially estimated by WHO:

All CT images showed no sign of COVID-19 infection. No severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections was detected in 455 contacts by nucleic acid test.

We are a weak and fragile society that has been proven we aren’t prepared to handle this type of attack. Thinking about the great sacrifices our parents and grand parents made during World Wars and other crisis’s compared to what we are being asked to do is sad and pathetic.

Every so called expert has been wrong time and time again leads to no confidence or trust in their words or recomendations and our gov leaders have been just as incompetent No one in charge has been held accountable so the general public has grown deaf to their statements

You can't isolate a person.. It's why it's a punishment in prison

Few reasons. 1) leaders flip flopping or contradicting each other with advice 2) leaders doing 'do what I say, not what I do' 3) fatigue from being locked down 4) social distancing rules that don't make sense (is ok to go in grocery store but not to the mall store).

Because it's a lie and a pretense for Martial Law How am I sure? The reasons for closure keep changing The MainstreamMedia is complicit in lying about the facts

It’s not isolation fatigue it’s that people are starting to wake up, and they don’t like being controlled.

Mainstream media wants peoplekind to be like this: cdnplli covid19

Why is this government defying the will of the people?

Govt/MSM fatigue. I have been following the SD rules but I am lucky to have the space to do so. Bk in the day, when I lived in a shoebox in TO I might have been 1 of those people. It was a small part of the park that was overcrowded. This story is overblown

I’d rather be sick of isolation than sick from covid-19.

This wasn’t due to isolation fatigue....The Brads, Chads and Ambers were being self-centred entitled idiots pure and simple...

Ignorance is my guess

Because it’s just a scare tactic to control us.

Maybe it’s the 99.4% survival rate ?

Because people have read and watched different media types and realized that this virus will barely affect them. So they feel since they won’t be affected directly it’s ok to go outside. Plus the weather is amazing now. So people are tired of being inside. Plain and simple.

Maybe the people making the decisions are overly wish washy. 🤷🏻‍♂️

So fathers roller blading with their children, receive an $800 fine, but as Ford would call them, “yahoos”, do not? Makes sense

Because they are spoiled snowflakes that think they are entitled to every thing .

Isolation fatigue? Thats hilarious. Maybe people are waking up to your bullshit pandemic that statically isn't worse then the common flu.

The way I see it, if they’re willing to risk spreading the virus, then they are willing to accept the consequences of infecting one of my family members. An eye for an eye as they say.

Selfish and entitled

Ya isolation fatigue is preventing them from wearing masks.

Because they are selfish fools. And unfortunately social media is full of conspiracy theories that they are most likely reading.

Because over 80% of cases are the elderly in nursing homes. That's why.

I think you can thank the Trump factor for that.

In a free country, they are tired of being told what to do. I understand the reason why there must be a lockdown. Just not the drunk power hungry way it is being put forward.

Because they’re selfish as*holes who need constant attention?🤗

Guess these people will have ventilator fatigue soon too 🤔

It’s not isolation fatigue...it is the irresponsible decision to reopen parks and retail stores sending the wrong massage to people that everything is going well.

But but elitist Canadian media like CTV was just making fun of Americans for this SAME BEHAVIOUR...you mean we are really not better than them and simply just human beings as they are How did this get past the editor

Screw your lockdown

We have way too many selfish, entitled, spoiled, know nothing’s walking about and crying from isolation. Imagine they had to fight a war, overcome a depression, or actually had some meaningful plight in their lives. We will be judged many years from now, and look stupid forever

Ford was slow off the mark.

Because all politicians and so called experts have lost all trust of the people.

Because The CDC's 'best estimate' is that the overall non-age-stratified (for all age groups) infection fatality rate for SARSCoV2 is 0.26% your plandemic is only a thing because of media hype.

Selfishness

Open more parks!

Try isolation like the Italians , we never had strict isolation in Canada.

We’ve had enough. This can’t go on for 2 more years.

Isolation fatigue.... lol. Get a grip. Irresponsible people is what explains it. People are over socialized and need some isolation training. I bet those same people that did that never followed the directions but now they did it shamelessly.

Let's stop inventing terms to excuse selfish, stupid abhorrent behaviour.

Let me help you: Before we knew anything except China was welding ppl into their homes and everyone was wearing masks, you government mouthpieces told us “borders open or you’re racist, masks don’t work, business as usual” Now we know it’s over hyped you tell us full crackdown.

Because we are DONE with your and CaptainsCrayons bullsh!t lies! Boy oh boy, flattening the curve sure turned into socialism pretty quickly, didn't it? 'Defying the experts' is what people do when the so called experts have been so wrong in so many ways and consistently inept!

Locking up the healthy and destroying the economy is NOT the solution - Treating our children like virus infected maggots is not the solution. Protecting the weak and vulnerable is the solution Poverty Kills and it comes for the Old, Weak and Young First Open the ECONOMY

Because with internet, we now know how much BS the media and politicians push.

No proof? Then why are the numbers going up now that people have decided to defy the orders? You're tired of the isolation? EVERYONE is! But some continue to do the right thing while others say fuck it, do what they want and risk the lives of other people!

Because Canadain have been lied to by are federal government from Day one...they don't trust them anymore

Ignorance.

Isolation fatigue? Gimme a break. It's selfishness. Period.

Because they think it's over. That's what happens when you quarantine people and then you start letting them out they feel it's safe it's the fault of the state and the province for allowing it

Sharing this...

It's the weather

Why did you fail to mention that Mayor Tory was there right among everyone else, NOT wearing a mask? Humans are not meant to be caged. People are fed up with the loss of freedoms and being ruled by the government. Those who don't like it can just stay home. Life is for living

I am not going to have my life run by 'experts'.

So how do we explain that there was virtually nobody in the same park the next day Were they no longer fatigued? Or perhaps they knew there would be some curbs and controls and maybe even some enforcement?

People see through the lie and deception . CTV is propaganda for socialism. Nazi propaganda deep state crap . Projection and deception is CTVs game .

LIVE IN FEAR!

Maybe cause the media sucks!!

We are defying 'expert' advice because the 'experts' have been outlandishly wrong on EVERYTHING from day one. We live in a free society and we will go about our daily activities without living in fear of a virus that has A SURVIVAL RATE OF OVER 99% AMONG HEALTHY ADULTS.

This quarantine needs to end, the behavior happening through late March & April is no more. What it has become is a never ending Stat Holiday where people do the leisure activities of their choice at the cost of individuals, businesses and governments going bankrupt.

Simple & honest answer! You know the answer! Can you be honest, stop the games! Because we don't trust Trudeau lol

What they see 'at that moment' is all having a good time not what may be in 2 weeks. No one is sick around them 'at that moment' so life is good. No ambulance carting anyone away 'at that moment' & besides they wouldn't get sick it will be someone else 'at that moment'

FOX News Channel

They've been given advice to self-monitor and maybe get a test. To keep their 'rights' pristine, better advice would be to keep out of the test & hospital triage lines that will be reserved for persons who behaved as responsibly as possible but inadvertently were infected.

Get the fuck over it assholes , it’s not that hard

Not buying into the fear

I took the training in the past including FIT-TEST I was wondering why it was taking the Feds, Prov, & local health units to shelter in place like I did way before others were told to StayHome but then again when responding to the opioid crisis we told not to help those ODing.

Cure for Isolation Fatigue? Selfish behaviour. Works for some. Does that cause hospital fatigue in patients and health care workers? Oh yeah! Grow up people.

What's the point? Fuck it.

Why? Because we’re fed up of your lies.

No, we are tired of petty tyrants and their power rush, and medical “experts” with changing stories and “models,” that consistently are shown to be wrong. That, along with decisions that defy common sense are what lead to public “defiance”

Bc they tested the water and no one (police) was there to enforce the rules. Or is it young, dumb and full of....?

Because we aren’t buying the fear porn! Give me liberty or give me a 0.000031% chance of death!

Because the numbers don’t match all the government and WHO directives were all wrong and you cant trust the deceptive media and deep state

Our parents and grandchildren lived through wars. Social isolation? What have we become?

there WILL be people dying thanks to this - classless citizens

Because we’re in an era where people are very much entitled and have been taught to push back when told no. There is no heart for the other person, only self. We are a very selfish society and that’s why we will never progress because of peoples hearts

I am tired of being paid and do nothing. I feel awful.

That and most people see through the MSM BS that this is a deadly plague.

1918. Over 100 years and we still haven't progressed as a society.
