Which finish line? We don't need 100% of people vaccinated(No I'm not anti-vax I'm team pfizer, I simply respect people's choice not to partake at their own risk) and we don't need to stop all respiratory illnesses forever, we just need enough done to keep the healthcare system under capacity for life to go on. I consider measures taken in Australia, Canada and the UK to be overkill and would never wish that here.
People in general made good faith efforts to obey mandates but the "finish line" or goalpost keeps moving.
- bawolff 5y agoSo alberta, canada is getting close to health care system over capacity (not there yet but worrying trend lines). I think its contradictory to say that canada has done too much well also saying we need it to stay under capacity. We wouldn't be under capacity without the lock down. Finish line would be heard immunity (65-90% vaccinated. Unclear precisely where depends on lots of factors. 65% seems doable, less sure about 90%)
