Zero covid strategy

Why are some countries still holding to it with so many vaccinated people? It is time to accept that covid-19 is here to stay.

Probably. I don't know what to say, but Canada was slow to respond and now no matter the harm it does to the economy (it's easy for the government to forget how it affects the little people), Canada seems to keep an approach we can't let the economy falter, but we can't also open up ever.

@thewindupbirdchronicles Challenges or not, it is true that society has to function as society.

What sort of restrictions are still in place there? I am in USA BTW
@CestManan Selective services based off of risk, I understand -It was only a day ago someone could get a haircut again. Large gatherings no. And if you watch, and I have, people are tired of it all.

@thewindupbirdchronicles Taking precautions is a good idea but completely putting everything on hold just isn't the answer.

People are tired of it because we all know that illness or even death is just an occupational hazard of life. And we assume those risks. Every day we drive, we could be killed instantly in a car crash but that doesn't mean we never go anywhere in a motor vehicle.

People want and need to live life.

@thewindupbirdchronicles what constitutes a large crowd there.does that include sporting events?
@MarineBob Technically in Ontario, above 25 outdoors. The Habs, in Montreal, not part of Ontario asked if they could have larger indoor crowds.. no. I'm fine with that

[Update] while crowds in Quebec are allowed larger than here. I'm happy Quebec did one thing, they facilitated larger screens outside the arena for those who wanted to be part of the event.
