Double-vaxxed, followed all protocols, etc. Just spent some time in a hospital waiting room. Not for covid, as I've already gotten omicron along pretty much everyone else I know here and abroad. But for some tests of a family member.
They make us wear masks, and that's nice, but it was packed, also of people for tests. So in that scenario, where people are wheezing on each other in a crowded space full of people not even wearing their masks properly, you can see why omicron - an airborne variant - is spreading like wildfire.
So it's not easy to take this and other restrictions seriously if hospitals aren't really, while it's pretty easy to see why countries like the UK are dropping them altogether.
I'm not sure if this overblown trucker story will be the signal that Canada's going to drop 'em too, but it's either that or Trudeau's going to have to be caught in a maskless dance party or something like that.
Either way, this thing has totally devolved into a political camp-building, unscientific distraction, which probably was inevitable seeing as the case count goes on and on relatively unchecked.
