Ford is currently busy reducing restrictions. He's opened outdoor dining in Toronto, opened more shopping, dramatically increased indoor restaurant capacity in red zone areas, etc. So even if we have do have some sort of action to slow down the spread, it'll be half hearted at best. I think we always knew that as soon as the vaccine rollout picked up that was the end of any attempt by Ford to really reduce things. I expect he figures that hospitals can deal with being overflowing for a few months until vaccines are more widespread.
I mean, he might think that, but at a certain point, there are going to be bodies piled in freezer trailers...we know where this leads.
Worse, and this reflects extremely poorly on our society, but it is younger people (well middle aged) who are taking the brunt of this right now, and as evil a thing as it is, fewer people dismiss those deaths as "oh well they were old".
