It's rarely black and white. Health and the economy go hand in hand.

The Ford government no longer cares. It wants to "get back to normal", whatever that means these days. Its ineptitude will cost the lives of many people in the coming months.

Nearly half of Canadians are getting tired of following COVID-19 restrictions. Getting back to normal, despite deaths, is probably the path forward many would support.
As long as they (or their loved ones) aren't the ones dying - which fortunately they have no way of controlling.
I don't think that's as big of a barrier as people might think.
Optimism bias, plus the perception of declining likelihood of death as a result of positivity, make going back to normal more appealing.
97 people in BC hospitals seems pretty manageable.
