Yeah I agree with Elon. If there was a rational Wikipedia, the COVID-19 pandemic would be under the list of mass hysterias article along with the Salem Witch Trials. Salem, Massachusetts was a democracy too...
87% of the COVID deaths in Ontario are aged 70+. The vast majority of people 70+ are retired. Retired people only really have to go out for groceries and the pharmacy and run the occasional errand while working people expose themselves to the public for 40+ hours/week. Why can't retired people just stay home while everyone else gets on with it? The government can literally put elderly people living in multi-generational households in hotels instead of making young people unemployed and giving them CERB. The government can pay for the elderly's Instacart delivery fees if they're so terrified of going to the supermarket. Even though there is a dedicated hour for seniors in the morning.
Here in Peel Region where cases are out of control compared to the rest of the province, our deaths per capita rate is actually average or slightly above-average at best compared to the rest of Ontario. Multi-generational household spread is a major problem here, the elderly have a higher cases per capita rate than the rest of the province. But the elderly in Peel have significant lower CFR% compared to the elderly in the rest of the province. It's almost like living with your children and grandchildren gives you the will to beat COVID compared to living in a nursing home.
