@jeffcliff @Natanahel A lot of people who were with you a year and a half ago are losing patience.
We've done something. We've been doing something equivalent to WWII for the past year and a half. We've done things that are absolutely absurd, that two years ago everyone would have said would never be done because they're absurd and dangerous and will have long term negative effects including economic collapse.
It can't go on forever, and they can't keep moving the goalposts forever, or even the true believers will eventually lose faith.

@jeffcliff @Natanahel "doing someting" can't go on forever.
The economy is closer to collapse than you think, and we're very close (I expect it starts next summer when interest rates are projected to hit 4% for a 5-yr mortgage and they'll be rising a lot higher than that if 5% inflation persists) to a lot of people losing everything to the results of "doing something".
Unlike 2008, we've gone through all our dry powder, there won't be anything left to stop it.
Life isn't a fairy tale where we only need to do the right thing and everything will be fine. It's complicated, and everything you do to stave off the wolves at the south gate means sacrificing protection from the wolves at the north gate.

@Eris @jeffcliff @Natanahel @TinyFern One point, "Does Canada have X" is as bad a question as "Does America have X".
Does America have mask mandates? Some states do, some states don't. Does America have vaccine mandates? Some states do, some states don't. Does America have travel restrictions? some states do, some states don't.
Canada is similarly broken up into a number of provinces and territories that have their own policies. Jeff lives in a province that has had relatively little in terms of covid mandates of any kind, and that colors his opinions.
