2. We have a tsunami of deaths coming. I am so sorry. The “casedemic” rhetoric directly contributed to this tragedy, and I hope there are consequences for this who knowingly pushed disinformation.
3. @SteiniBrown is presenting near term epidemic curves that rise and rise. Their fall, if symmetrical, means that we can double the deaths on the way back down.
4. As I have noted previously, there is a *remarkable* degree of consensus on the modeling table around these projections. These projections come from modellers and groups across Ontario.

Lastly, I hadn’t wanted to share this prior to the presser but I think it simply reinforces the heat map in the now-public slides. This is test positivity by age in Ontario.
