Is that opinion or do you have some research to back that up.
Here in Nova Scotia, the covid numbers are determined by lab tests and the total number of tests and the number of positives are published each day. We have been careful/lucky and have had only 70 some deaths to date out of a population of just under a million.
Our total case numbers were very low until April when some individuals entered the province and attended a wedding without the mandatory 14 day quarantine and infected a bunch of folks who then infected a bunch more and suddenly we are counting 1600 cases instead of thirty province wide.
For the most part we wear masks and hand sanitizing stations are inside the entrance of every store and establishment and the numbers stayed low (as did the seasonal flue and common cold), However one group of clueless f*chups managed to set in motion a train of infection that put 90 people in hospital and maxxed out ICU beds to the point where patients were being transferred to other facilities within the province.
My grand daughter was in school from September to April, but has been remote learning daily with her teacher and half her class since the recent shut down. We didn't shut down for the flue season. This is not the normal flue. Yes some people have little trouble with the virus, others have a lot of trouble and some people die.
Stay safe
