I have to say that it's disappointing. It's also a little bit bewildering. It's not clear at this stage what threat we face from fully vaccinated people, especially fully vaccinated Americans. In general, the rates of community transmission in the United States are either comparable to ours or at times lower. Both New York state and Michigan, our immediate neighbours across from Ontario, which has the busiest land borders, have lower rates of infection than we do.
If we're going to continue to keep the borders closed now, then maybe we should never open them, because there will always be diseases, not just COVID but others.
I find it baffling, especially today's decision in the light of the high vaccination rates and low case numbers.
