With cases now growing in all age groups, the second wave could have wide-ranging effects on Ontario’s health care system

Notes: Ontario’s projection is based on current doubling time of 12 days . Jurisdictions are alignedJOHN SOPINSKI/THE GLOBE AND MAIL, SOURCE: governmentt of ontario

Dr. Barrett added that controlling the virus requires continued adherence to the public-health measures “that we know work,” including masking, handwashing, physical distancing and avoiding situations that place people in contact with others beyond their immediate family or social bubble. Mr. Anderson said that if the number of patients admitted to intensive care in Ontario remains under 150 a day, hospitals can continue to maintain normal capacity and scheduled operations. If that number rises to between 150 and 350, “things become very strained." Beyond 350, normal service would have to change to accommodate the increased demand.

'Modelling shows,' eh? Let's not forget that Neil Ferguson's hyperbolic modelling fiasco provided the rationale for the current soul-crushing, economy-killing Covid policy. We've had quite enough MSM fear-mongering BS for now, thanks.

AND it could SNOW.

More panic porn here. Enough with the bs casedemic hysteria. Only metric that matters is hospitalizations and deaths.

Fatalities vs cases = flatlining. Hospitalizations vs cases - flatlining. Even ICUs vs hospitalizations are diverging. Why aren't you reporting any of this?

And the fatalities are flatlining (4 on September 28, the day with a record 700 new cases).

Why is there no mention of how this relates to the amount of testing being done? The alarmism that “we are seeing higher confirmed cases than when the pandemic started!” Does nothing to explain that there are fewer confirmed cases per 100 tests, ie a smaller %.

Stop testing

Ontario COVID-19 cases rising; could hit 1,000 a day, modelling showsWith cases now growing in all age groups, the province released projections that show the second wave could have wide-ranging effects on Ontario’s health care system How come you guys never talk about new ICU admissions or deaths? Oh, yeah.. because those stats would conflict with your fear-mongering agenda. It's probably 4 times that high. People with mild symptoms wouldn't be getting tested. The process is too onerous. There also are all the asymptomatic ones. If they gave everybody rapid home testing you might be able to control it. Way to go Ontario! Keep it up!
