If I were to guess how all this will end is some side effective of restrictions will read its ugly head - mental health, economic recession, or just general civil disobedience.

Then suddenly we’ll be told “trade offs need to be made” and “the vaccines provide enough protection to relax restrictions”.

The fact that we’re 2 years into it and with a population that is mostly vaccine and at a much reduced risk yet the restriction seem to be the same or worse?

The restrictions are definitely not the same as they were 2 years ago when this all started. Schools shut, everyone working from home, no bar/cafe/restaurants, no outdoor social activities qas what we had then. In the last two weeks I've been to a bar twice and the cinema. I don't know of anywhere in the world (but could be wrong) that is still in that form of lock down right now.

Depends where you are? Two years ago Canada didn’t have many restrictions at all. Masks weren’t even a requirement in all provinces.

Ontario, Canada just cranked up restrictions.

Quebec now has curfew, primary schools closed. All public events canceled.

2 years ago exactly, yes but in the spirit of HN you should take the best possible reading. If you compare to March 2020 instead the restrictions are still less than they were then.

> Quebec now has curfew

Wait, how does that work?

Do people get arrested just because they are out past curfew? Random ID checks?

There are videos of patrols.

Fined if outside during certain hours without an approved reason.
