If we can’t just go back to normal now, then why don’t we just give up?
It's not that much further to vaccinate kids though, we are almost there.
In the UK schools have been open, and the new variant is rampaging through, if we hit vaccine escape it will be because of actions like this.
If vaccine escape happens because the UK had its schools open then I find it very difficult to believe "we vaccinate everyone at once and the virus just goes away" was ever a realistic prospect in the first place.
I"m Canadian, Ontario specifically.
We've done well with vaccinations, though nowhere near close to 95% and we're still in the longest lock down world wide with no real signs of things going back to normal.
But there are signs that things are getting better. Its a long time betweeen now and September, let's give it time to see how things go. As long as the trend is moving in the right direction and governments give back their emergency powers( we have an Ontario government that just granted themselves a longer stay on their power even though we're doing really well in terms of vaccinations nd case counts) then maybe be patient and let things play out.
