In some areas of Ontario, one of the provinces struck hardest by the pandemic, cases of COVID-19 are rising for young people in their 20s, but health experts are not yet sure why.

TORONTO -- In some areas of Ontario, one of the provinces struck hardest by the pandemic, cases of COVID-19 are rising again in an unexpected group: young people largely in their 20s.

The Greater Toronto Area has also reported relatively higher numbers of cases among young people. In York Region, nearly 20 per cent of new cases were people between the ages of 20 and 34, and around 18 per cent of Peel Region’s new cases were those between the ages of 20 and 29, according to local health units.

The bigger concern, he said, is “who do they go home to? Or, who are they in touch with? Do they have elderly parents, or grandparents that they’re in touch with who might have a more severe illness? Or […] are they commuting, or interacting with others [and] unknowingly transmitting the infection?” Bogoch said that even though Alberta is part of the country that has flattened the curve, there likely will still be smaller outbreaks when schools reopen.

Because I haven’t seen one of them wear a mask or Social distance. Partying will do it!!

Seems pretty obvious no?

Couldn't buy some produce Fortinos yesterday because two teen boys stocking the section were hanging out with 4 girls for longer than I had time for. No masks, touching, talking, laughing over all the veg. Other staff and a social distancing announcement didn't stop them either

Cause people from Ontario are missing something. Hopefully the population of those idiots starts going down. Then we won’t have to deal with their idiologies

Because they thought they were immune?

Well cases in this demographic will rise now that they are allowed to get tested.

Cuz they want inheritance

Because they think they are invincible and ignore social distancing protocols

Who cares. The young get it like the flu and 30% show no signs. It’s the elderly who can have complications. Herd immunity. Let’s rip this bandaid off vs the slow pull that is killing the economy. I bet CERB is killing more people on opioids than this virus

You can try and control the virus but you have no hope in hell controlling stupid.

How is this even a question. They aren’t social distancing. The attitude of younger people in Ontario is the worst.

Could it because of protest?

Surely You Jest!

The only way to get heard immunity is to get the infection. 80% of the infected people won't have serious illness. WTH are you people afraid of?

Because they’re not that bright?

My 23 yr old cuz is a good reason why.. That idiot is at a house party with 30-40 plus people every day!! And not the app!!

Doesn’t matter they will all recover

Is this headline sarcasm?

The older people are staying home more. I highly doubt anyone is really ‘wondering’.

Questions remain, are you serious?

Don’t forget more people are working now, some retail stores are open and they do tend to have a younger employee base

Because no matter how long we wait, going outside will mean infections rising.

Really? That's a question? But the whole 'not physically distancing at all' thing?

Really? It’s because they think are invincible, won’t get it and if they do it isn’t a big deal.

How can you say “cases on the rise” when case are declining everyday with roughly 75% coming out of Brampton alone.. It’s just so misleading.. just report the news, never mind characterizing it.. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Uhh, seriously? Not even going to mention the protests eh? Unreal..

Wonder through your city town or village and you won’t have to ask the question, you’ll see the reasons why.

Because all Canadians are racists seems to be your answer for everything.

Really

Have you been to the parks, it is all the young people who don't care.

Because they don’t give a shit!

Nobody cares. We have to live with the virus. Just like we live with cancer.

Track their movements through their phones and see they are not staying home. Many are working and some are out 3-4 times a day for various non essential reasons. The group I see most not wearing masks and living on take out/ delivery.

Because they are hanging out together.

Ok it's the entitled generation, they think nothing will happen that there smarter than the virus.

Sad news however it's the 'invincible' age. You dont actually recover, it comes back. Stay safe & wear a mask in public until everyone young middle and old has the vaccine..

stop framing this as young people feel like they can’t catch anything... that’s a purely untrue. It’s that the danger and risk involved is so minimal to 99% sorry if this doesn’t get clicks fear covid19

Pretending to be inmune to COVID__19 is the new 'cool': Trinity bellwoods park type of sht, hosting parties, hypocrite 'protests', no masks, no social distancing.. No common sense 🤡

Because they are idiots. They think they are invincible.

More testing? Cases are irrelevant, only the mortality rate matters.

Let's follow each other🥺

ha ha ha more fake news. every person who is weak will get it and who is not weak they will carry it just like other viruses and flus. idiors!

It’s got to have something to do with the leafs.

Could it possibly be that they don’t care about the news media and chose to live life, instead?

Lol 'questions'

Cus they fuckin duh

Easy they are not social distancing!!! All they have been hearing from the beginning it effects people 60 and up and people that have underlying health issues. The perfect example Trinity Bellwood Park they think they are immune!

Let guess might it be because they are not physically distancing

The weather is nicer and hormones are a float

MediaScum

WhatCovid

Because they are not practicing physical distancing!

I would say that mass protests in an open-air sardine can formation could explain the most recent infections.

Let me guess, not physically distancing?

great news, cull those marchers
