      Yet lockdowns in Ontario *are* indeterminate, aren't they?https://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1338331896229502976?s=19 …

      4/n The essay itself is a bit problematic from the start. The authors poison the well with this straw man - it is simply not true that anyone anywhere is advocating for indefinite lockdowns pic.twitter.com/AbCwN8Ir9X

      No fixed end date =/= indefinite

      I would think no "fixed end date" is precisely the definition of "indefinite.". What nuance here am I missing? (Not to say I agree with the piece otherwise.) https://www.google.com/search?q=indefinite+meaning&oq=indefinite+&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0i433i457j0j0i433l2.8477j1j9&client=ms-android-bell-ca-revc&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8 …

      You're right actually, that was imprecise language on my part. I meant endless, not indefinite 👍

      Not to be a gnat, but I dont think anyone is suggesting "endless" lockdowns, either. I am by no means a herd immunity kinda guy, but "managing a pandemic" could use some improvement next time around. To argue otherwise is to say we can't learn from experience.

          Mastering a pandemic I feel will be a little like mastering parenting: the moment you acquire all the necessary skills is the moment you don't need them anymore.
