Some oracles (regular people who know what the Canadian government is all about) predicted a few months ago that the '3rd wave' will occur just in time to have Churches shut down for Easter and to keep people from spending time with their families for the holidays. Now I could be wrong, and hope that I am, but let us see if they can pull that off.

Also, we have to keep in mind, almost all the previously made prediction by our oh so smart bureaucrats have been dead wrong. They keep way over-estimating how many cases and deaths there will be, but that's probably just wishful thinking on their part. The actual numbers usually get in below their best cases scenarios (least bad scenarios in terms of cases and deaths, to be clear) and it's not for lack of trying. They're trying to have everyone and their uncle tested for the virus so they can increase their count by as much as possible (such as forcing power generation workers to get tested for the virus even thought they don't work in close proximity, are forced to keep their distance, and have to wear a mask at all times when on site). Also, they test everyone coming in from abroad but regardless of the test result they still have to quarantine for 2 week so why bother with the test (and they try to put people into special jails at the border, but that's a whole other story). And if you want to visit some one in a long term care home, you have to get tested within 3 days of each visit (so for regular visits, constantly).
