Absolutely. One hundred per cent. It is a terrible and depressing likelihood. We are staring down the barrel of a gun here.
A slow vaccine rollout is frustrating and disappointing from a Canadian perspective, but I also think pinning all our hopes on a vaccine rollout isn't a strategy for reopening. With the rapid testing—again, a missed opportunity—and waiting for vaccines, how do we live in the meantime? What do we tell the countless restaurant operators across the country who are struggling to make ends meet, even when they can open indoor dining, after they have made these unbelievable investments in protecting the health and safety of their teams, their people and their guests? It's a growing concern, and my fear is that we don't have any good answers yet.
