The case fatality rate is computed as (fatalities/known cases). The infection fatality rate (IFR) is (fatalities/all cases).
All cases are never known, and therefore IFR is always an estimate. The Influenza IFR is around 0.2%. The Covid19 CFR is now 0.05%!!!! With too many cases not counted, the Covid19 CFR would be much lower than 0.05% even. Omicron Covid19 has a remarkably lower fatality rate than typical Influenza.

@COVIDSciOntario is indeed a propaganda unit pushing vested interests. They work hard to gloss over data staring in the face, while laying claims on behalf of chosen path.

What was the scientific basis for social distancing/masks/quarantines?

China did it, snd we can too? The effects of general health on Covid19 outcomes have not become obvious to these people. All deaths have had a multitude of co-morbidities which have been addressable as a risk mitigation strategy.

The mixture of relative statements and absolutes makes for utter nonsense of a conclusion while being correct at the same time.
All Covid19 infections are predominantly mild. Mild implies no hospitalizations. Vaxxed/Unvaxxed doesn't matter.
How predominantly mild? Age matters For 0-11, Mild in 199 out of 200
For 12-19, Mild in 199 out of 200
For 20-29, Mild in 83 out of 84
...
For 80+, Mild in 3 out of 4. Fatal for 1 out of 4

Age matters.

Should we contact trace in a pandemic?
What is a pandemic?
Are we in a pandemic?

Central to the uselessness of contact tracing is the phrase "pandemic" itself.
In a pandemic, an expectation of something serious, which is also wide spread is there for novices such as I. The wide spread aspect implies that doing spot tests will not reveal the totality of the spread.
There are asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic yet infectious people in big enough numbers, and wide enough spread that an accurate picture is not possible
