There will be a second wave, and even a third. That's certain. The question is when and how. If we look at past situations, for example the Spanish flu, we can expect the second wave to hit harder than the first. The Innu nation was fortunate to be spared. We took measures quickly, created our Innu monitoring committee and immediately closed our communities. Quebec shut down the regions. However, as a result of the quarantine, I'm extremely worried, in particular for first nations and Innu peoples, that the virus will pick up again and that the second wave will be deadlier and more aggressive than the first one.
We'd like the federal government and provincial governments to work together to eliminate the barriers that separate their respective jurisdictions.
