New case numbers are pointless except for statistics. What matters for lockdown are hospitalizations and deaths- both steady down. A reminder that lockdowns are not cures for viruses, they're measures to give time to health sysyem to gear up. This here is unacceptable overreach.

Phew, otherwise we’d be in trouble

'We are moving cautiously because God forbid this comes back and bites us in the back-side' This lack of understanding & knowledge is dangerous at this point. Lockdown only prevents immunity building. QB continues to see decrease because of reopening among lower risk population!

Every day there are infections of more than 300-400. When is this going to end? Why can't the provincial govt. use their brain for some remedial measures or they are suffering already from brain death?

Yep an idiot JohnTory wants to open up Toronto with them being a 70 % of the cases with Peel. John your city has the rest of the province waiting as your ecocentric attitude needs to know fordnation should open ontario this week with TO in July

Continued problems in reporting by an incompetent ontario medical officer of health.

Who cares. It was a scam. We see that now more than ever.
