A vaccine available for the general pop could still be another 6 months away, maybe even longer. So it is unrealistic to expect the elderly and sick to self-isolate for a year+. COVID Hospitalizations and deaths are inevitable. I still think it's ridiculous that we ran up a deficit of a few hundred billion dollars (and counting) just to protect 0.0577% of the population. And ruined the lives of a lot of people who lost their jobs, businesses, etc. Ruined the lives of a lot of young people experiencing social isolation, delaying of their schooling, careers, etc. And while it's true that death isn't the only metric that matters, the hospitalization rate is like less than double the fatality rate last I checked too. So maybe 0.1% of Canadians are at risk of being hospitalized by COVID.
