It’s amazing the amount of fear many here swallowed hook line and sinker. If you want to stay home and cower in fear, feel free. Let the others live their lives. People have totally lost all sense of reality that cold/flu/pneumonia have killed thousands every year and we somehow went about our lives in years past.
No need to cower in fear, just wear a mask and/or keep your distance, and don't throw massive parties.

My immunosuppressed relative couldn't get her regular blood test recently, as hospitals are overloaded with COVID cases. Maybe you should tell her that she's lost her sense of reality, and I'm sure she'll happily rip you a new one.
No, the reason your relative couldn’t get her blood test was because your government for nearly a year has refused to prepare hospitals to meet the demands of a pandemic. Not only were they not prepared at the start, they continue to this day to do @#$! all to improve the healthcare system.
Your government has chosen to spend billions on emergency response benefits, covid testing, a failed lockdown. They costed people their jobs and livelihoods. Obviously a lockdown without a plan afterwards just puts us back in the same situation afterwards when you open up.
Sure hindsight is 20/20. If we could do it all again, instead of diddling our thumbs all summer after the initial lockdown waiting for things to go away, they would have invested in preparing hospitals to deal with covid. Remember all summer nurses and doctors were bored waiting for a wave of people while turning away everyone who didn’t have covid. China built a hospital in 6 days... what have we been doing? Oh that’s right.... we keep telling people to wear masks... we keep blaming people, we say they are killing grandma, all sorts of whacky shit we do... when really we could have built healthcare ready to treat people, while keeping the economy going, no reason the young and healthy can’t keep working.
So what’s coming now? The feds say we are out of money to give... we are about to lockdown in Ontario... we are about to harm more lives and jobs to stop the spread. Will you accept this is reasonable? Then what, after the lockdown without a vaccine we are back at square one with the same shitty hospitals turning away everyone without covid. It’s the perpetual cycle of stupidity going on. Masks have nothing to do with it. Whether masks are effective at this point is irrelevant, mask policy has not been effective, whether it’s that masks don’t work, compliance is low, or we are wearing them wrong, who gives a shit... the policy has failed..l we have had a year to figure it out and we are still on the path to failure and that’s all that’s important. The only thing Canada has going right now is a maybe vaccine... it’s like we are holding out for lottery ticket win rather than investing. Wear your stupid masks everyone, it can hide the sad look on your face that knows the ship is sinking,
