Absolutely not. If anything we should tighten restrictions in the next probably 3 months to really try and squash covid. Mixing social distancing with a high amount of vaccinations would seriously knock down case numbers hopefully to a point where we never need to lock down again.

The goal is to get rid of covid or at least knock it down to a level where we can deal with it just from contact tracing, not to maintain an "acceptable" level of people dying from it that doesn't quite overwhelm hospitals.

I agree. It's 2020 all over again.
If people had fucking stayed in lockdown in spring last year, it could've stopped the spread and allowed us to have a summer. Instead, they crowded spring break beaches, packed bars, protested the lockdowns (maskless, of course), and it spread like crazy.

Now in 2021, we could just lockdown for 1-2 months as everyone gets the vaccine and by summer be "back in business" full swing. But nope...another wasted summer incoming.

I thought the summer travel / recreation market was huge, it's weird they haven't flexed their lobbying and advertising power to try and push for spring lockdowns, both last year and this year...
