In Jeff Green's article about the restrictions (Vol. 20 No 38) the Minister of Health is quoted as saying "this action is based on the increased case counts". Yes, as more tests become available and we test larger samples of people and the students return to school it is no surprise we are seeing more positive results. But at the same time the death numbers data due to COVID-19 for Canada is flat lining. I think, speaking as someone in a vulnerable group, the MOH is basing action on the wrong set of data.
We have been through months of this routine now, following our safe practices. It's about time the provincial representatives learned to take a risk, treat the population as adults, release the brakes and allow the province back to work and play. We still need to be careful, but we can do this.
Enough!
