The COVID-19 pandemic

[ac3r]

Majority of Canadians (54%) now say it's time to end Covid restrictions and leave responsibility for isolation to those at risk. This is up from 40% in early January: https://twitter.com/angusreid/status/148...2192695297

People are tired. Over 90% are vaccinated that are ‘eligible’.

A different approach needs to be done when it comes to Covid though, Canada’s approach has been sort of an outlier, but not the great results that one would have hoped for.

Hopefully better vaccine are made, better medication/treatments for those who are ill.

Thankfully we have the new Pfizer medication that was recently approved in Canada in addition to one of the best vaccination campaigns on the planet. We've done an incredible job here. We've done all we can and keep doing more. The people that still believe in Covid Zero who want to shutter small businesses and wear masks for the next 20 years might say otherwise, unfortunately, but we're hitting the point - both nationally and internationally - where people can see the obvious which is that we need to alter our strategies on protecting those who are truly vulnerable rather than continuing with this perpetual "let's lock everyone down" approach we've been flip flopping on for two years. Or who wish to go into the extremes like some people truly want, including imprisonment of the unvaccinated or having them rounded up and forcibly given the vaccine. Those people are just as insane as the anti-vax people.
