We have a good handle on where infections are happening.
It's not visitors to Canada visiting their family and their sick and dying loved ones.
It's not social gatherings.
It's unsafe deregulated workplaces with no sick leave. And cramped inadequate low income housing.

That's why the victims are racialized.
That's why places like Scarborough are awash in tragedy.
It's good, innocent people working two jobs in a deregulated workforce.
