This is not to undercut a fine piece of reporting, but was anyone outside BC ever under the impression science had the last word on any of this? thestar.com/news/gta/2020/…
Even in BC when everyone was praising Dr. Henry for following best practices she was also engaged in a campaign of moral suasion (ie: politics) a large percentage of the time.
While I’m here, a couple people have pointed out Dr. Henry has declined to mandate masks and has rejected the covid app. Which, given BC has performed better than any province outside the Atlantic, illustrates science is only part of the answer.
Quebec mandated masks, adopted the app and has banned fun a full 43 days now and we’re still the worst performer and things have slowly stated to get worse again.
We did, however, avoid exponential growth until now. It is neither victory nor defeat but the messy application of science to politics, policy and individual practice.
