Tomorrow will be one week since provincewide 'code red' restrictions were put in effect, initiating a partial lockdown in Manitoba.

Yet, more people have died since last Wednesday (76) than did in the entire first 7½ months of the pandemic combined.

Manitoba's cumulative caseload broke the 12,000 mark today.

That's twice what it was 2½ weeks ago.

Put another way, more than half of all cases to date have been identified since the beginning of November.

Over 90% of Manitoba COVID-19 deaths have involved people over age 60.

About a third linked to outbreaks at 2 Winnipeg care homes: Maples and Parkview (65 deaths as of yesterday).

3 of 11 deaths announced today linked to Golden Links Lodge outbreak.

Despite misinformation that's begun circulating, Manitoba hospital beds + ICUs continue to fill up.

249 COVID-19 patients in hospital as of today — a record, and 9 higher than yesterday.

40 in ICU.

Another record day for Manitoba's 5-day provincial test positivity rate: 14.2%

Winnipeg: 13.8%

Numbers may feel cold and impersonal to some at this point.

They're very real to thousands of Manitobans who knew and loved the 190 people who have died.
