Canada’s Ontario Returns to Lockdown to Slow Virus, CBC Says https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...rio-to-be-in-lockdown-for-28-days-cbc-reports The restrictions start on Saturday and will last for 28 days The goal is to slow the growing number of Covid-19 cases The Canadian province of Ontario will return to a lockdown on Saturday, widening restrictions on stores, gyms, restaurants and hair salons for 28 days in an effort to get Covid-19 under control, CBC News reported, citing multiple sources. The new rules to be announced by Ontario Premier Doug Ford on Thursday are intended to counter coronavirus’s spread in Canada’s most populous province, which includes the capital city of Ottawa, CBC said. The restrictions would not be as tight as the province-wide lockdown that was imposed in December, the sources told CBC. Some regions, including the city of Toronto, are already operating under similar rules; Ford’s move would extend them to the entire province of 14.7 million people. Ontario joins a growing number of locations, including France and Italy, that are returning to strict limits on social interactions in an effort to slow the latest surge of the virus. While more vaccines are being made to interrupt the transmission of the pathogen, not every area has equal access. Novel variants are hastening the spread, and case rates are rising in many regions. Ontario added 2,333 new cases of Covid-19 on March 30, bringing its total case count to 349,903, according to Public Health Ontario. More than 17,000 residents have been hospitalized because of the disease, and 7,366 have died from it. The province, which imposed strict measures in December including temporarily closing schools, had begun to loosen in recent weeks. But cases resumed their rise as the novel variants of the virus spread. The biggest hot spot is Toronto, the country’s financial capital. More than half of the cases reported on Wednesday were in Toronto and Peel, a suburban region just west of the city. New daily cases in the province have more than doubled since the first week of March. Canada’s slow vaccine progess is compounding the problem: less than 2% of the population is fully vaccinated, as the government has had difficulty importing enough shots and the country has little vaccine manufacturing capacity of its own. While a number of U.S. states have now made the vaccine widely available to the adult population, Toronto’s city-run clinics are still focusing on getting the vaccine to residents 70 and older, in addition to health care staff and other categories of essential workers.
I see you are still posting dumb shit on this site. Here's yesterday's stats : Florida 5294 new cases, 84 deaths ( pop 21.5 million ) 1557 deaths per million total Canada 5518 cases, 33 deaths ( pop 38 million ) 604 deaths per million total If killing people off is the goal, you are doing a tremendous job. Oh I know, when the data doesn't agree with you start saying you don't care about Canada, pop. densities, and any number of other excuses when you can't have your way.
Howz that virus working out for everyone in Canada and howz that vaccine roll-out not working for ya? Looks to me like the virus is not respecting those "Canadian values" and you might have to do some actual work while accepting the fact that God or nature was not just punishing Americans for having elected Trump. Yep. Must be pretty humbling to find out that you are on nature's shiite list along with the rest of the human species. Just when you were thinking that you had evolved beyond that. I heard Prime Minister Tinkerbell spinning some happy mooseshit the other day that I have heard dumped here on the forum as well, so now I know where the fake Canadians here got it. He argues that Canada's problem with vaccines is that "it put too much trust in the global supply chaing." Y'all see what he is doing there? Global= woke, so Canada's problem is that it is suffering the consequences of being too woke and trusting the global community, and oh by the way he is spreading his blame off on to the global community. That is the mentality of a colony- ie. that someone else is doing the big work for them. It is not a right versus left, woke versus non-woke issue. Russia, China, the US, Germany, etc all are on different parts of the woke and political spectrum. Yet they all took the position that they needed to look out for themselves and then help others. They are not colonies. Some former world powers such as Japan have done next to nothing in regard to developing vaccines but it makes the same point. You are on the downcurve when your only ability to help out during a crisis is to hold out your begging bowl. You fake Canadians take heart though. Americans are good and compassionate people and we will continue to work something out for you as we go along. Maybe we can get Uber Eats in Buffalo to deliver to Toronto during your lockdown. You are welcome. Prognosis Ontario’s Third Virus Wave Is ‘Killing Faster and Younger’ https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...rio-to-be-in-lockdown-for-28-days-cbc-reports
Ford pulls four-week emergency brake for all of Ontario Tough step taken as the third wave of the pandemic threatens to swamp hospital ICUs https://torontosun.com/news/provincial/ford-pulls-four-week-emergency-brake-for-all-of-ontario
This is happening all over Canada in particular problematic area...not just Ontario. It's more like a "warning" that these areas...they could progress back into the red zone area...much more restrictions. My teenagers private secondary school will be back online next week for just one week...first time this year although they have not had any Covid positive cases. The problem is that the private school is located in a problem area... Near a few businesses that have recently been shut down for violation of Covid health guidelines. We're located in Québec, Canada. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/quebec-covid-closures-legault-1.5973284 On Tuesday, Premier François Legault said his government was watching the situation closely in select areas but insisted changes weren't necessary — even as top experts, the province's order of nurses and public health officials were questioning the lack of restrictions. ---------- A lot of hospitals, doctors, nurses and public health officials here in Québec have been complaining (bitching) about the lack of restrictions. My girlfriend a head nurse at a hospital that treats a lot of Covid patients...sits on the hospital health board...she states its a growing concern here in Québec about the lack of restrictions. Looks like know Premier François Legault has the wax out of his ears. Regardless, the restrictions next week are minor...no biggie and it looks like the timing is intentional because its common for people to have an extended easter holiday weekend as in having Monday off from work for a 4 day weekend. wrbtrader
America's hat is jealous of America's vaccine rollout. US vaccine rollout envied in Canada The U.S. vaccine rollout may be bumpy, but it's the envy of our neighbors to the north. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/u...orts-events-live-covid-19-updates/ar-BB1fihzr
Trump might be looking for some consulting work. Maybe he would be willing to help you out a little to show you how having vaccine is foundational to distributing vaccine. Just trying to help.
