When have the doctors been wrong?

As the latest lockdown measures are about to be lifted here in Ontario, once again we are hearing from scientists and doctors that if we let our guard down, the new variant could drive us into a third lockdown this spring.

When the UK reopened from their fall lockdown (graph), cases were still high & variants were able to surge. The UK went back into lockdown within 3 weeks. Germany is learning from this & not reopening early. Today, the Ontario Science Table shows this is a lesson for us too. 1/7 https://t.co/AvN67cYcS9 pic.twitter.com/KCT7J4gTSi

I agree with all the suggestions ⁦@BrooksFallis⁩ makes in this op-ed. If this were the government’s strategy, I would feel very confident for spring and summer. pic.twitter.com/FRIXbpNX0A

Whenever our medical officials predicted a wave of new cases, they have been right. Despite the rants of those who want to think they have found the missing piece in the puzzle. As limitations and restrictions are lifted, this time can we just listen to the scientists?
