As ever, The Line brings fresh air and perspective. Thanks and, as a relatively new Canadian, I’m looking forward to your navigation through the straits ahead.
I don't believe that the Delta Variant (my name: The Modi Malady - "credit" where due) story has actually "played out" yet in the UK. After the big spike, June 20-July 20, up to 45,000 cases/day, it did drop as sharply - but the plunge seems to have halted around 26,000 cases per day, the last few days. It will probably keep finding "pockets of the unvaccinated", outbreak after outbreak, numbers going up and down, but never down to what Canada would call 'acceptable'.
26,000 cases/day is the same as Canada's population having 14,000 per day. FYI, our absolute worst days were at 9,000/day. If you want to call that Britain being stable and OK to go forward, your call.
I am done with those whose impulse is to take away choices in a constitutional democracy like Canada. I am even more done with the politicians and mandarins who are seemingly drunk on the power to take away choices both personal and economic. It has not been a long slide to the days of the Japanese internment camps, only today they would be called "preventive" mandatory quarantine.
