ICYMI this afternoon: Ontario has surpassed worst-case scenario for November cases and some new modelling was released. Things are about to get very bad. New modelling says in ~4 weeks we will have up to 6500 cases a day.
We'll also reach a critical threshold for ICU beds in next 2 weeks, where surgeries will start being cancelled. Hospital capacity to treat non-COVID issues will be threatened.

In fact, at the rate we're going now, our numbers will likely exceed several European jurisdictions that are currently under strict lockdowns. For that to happen requires 5% daily case growth.
We are at 6%.
Hence urgency for us all to act now + limit contacts

I know it feels like the pandemic is over, I have felt the same I recent months. But its not and we are actually in a VERY dangerous and delicate situation right now.

We have been told today that changing the direction we are headed in is not “insurmountable”. So let’s all take action and protect each other, especially those most vulnerable.
