You think the public would have shown significant support for “just let the infected die”?
And you can add Canada to that list of countries that have had to do that, by the way. Like the others you mention it’s been a forced decision due to the healthcare system becoming overwhelmed.
- Mediterraneo10 6y agoThe public may not have significantly supported that in the first lockdown last year, but there apparently has been support in later waves. In my country during the third wave, the health minister has pleaded that hospitals are being overwhelmed, yet at the same time the data he’s getting from mobile operators show that the public has returned to 2019-levels of mobility. The broad public, not just some outliers unwilling to observe the lockdown. The general attitude now seems to be that vaccination has arrived, so restrictions are no longer appropriate, and if you die before you can get vaccinated, tough luck.
