I think I've identified the problem. We are led by economists who think that with a chart like this, the best move would be to short the virus.

Canada had its worst year of the pandemic in 2022. Four waves caused by different Omicron variants. Now we have a sustained level of virus and hospitalizations caused by the "variant soup". Forgive me if I don't agree that we should stop talking about variant evolution.
