BubberMiley Posted October 27, 2021 Report Posted October 27, 2021 Mitigation measures appear to work and make a difference.

Car crashes or heart attacks don’t mean you have to be in an ICU. But yeah, I’d try and avoid those. Heart attacks usually occur after years of unhealthy living. So they’re responsible for their situation, much like a covid patient that hasn’t gotten vaccinated. I’m glad you finally see how much of a problem heart disease is though. Three times more Canadians die of that each year than of covid. Quote

Maybe we don't need hospitals at all if it's people's own fault they get sick. And maybe covid mitigation works so well we don't need it either.

We don't, but we currently have laws for vaccination for kids. https://www.ontario.ca/page/vaccines-children-school The law Unless they have a valid exemption, children who attend primary or secondary school must be immunized against: diphtheria tetanus polio measles mumps rubella meningitis (meningococcal disease) whooping cough (pertussis) chickenpox (varicella) – required for children born in 2010 or later. I can see why the covid vaccine isn't a law but is being strongly urged by so many people. Hopefully in due time covid will die out and we won't have to add it to the list. Quote

OftenWrong Posted October 28, 2021 Report Posted October 28, 2021 It’s not just about having to show your papers to go into a restaurant or eat in a food court. It’s the economy, stupid. Plus the social harms brought about by widespread shutdowns. Students learning from home, but not learning. Families separated by artificial borders, not allowed to say goodbye to a loved one in the hospital, or grieve at their funeral. It’s inhumane. The full impact of this is not realized, and the pandemic is not over yet. That should be obvious to everyone by now. Quote
