COVID–19 continues to rise here in our LGL District Health Unit. "Cumulatively, there are 189 community based cases in LGLDHU." Nearby Ottawa has quite a few cases, as well. Quebec is the worst, with 886 cases yesterday, Ontario had 495.
Our granddaughters in Ottawa are homeschooling. Sadly, there aren't enough teachers to go around. There are 30+ in their online cohorts. Not great for those in French Immersion. They seldom speak, my daughter tells me. Also, there are a couple of thousand kids still waiting for an online teacher, as parents continue to withdraw kids from schools.
- 1 in every 24 schools in Ontario has had at least case of COVID-19
- There are 70 cases in Ottawa schools
- Confirmed Cases: 2️⃣4️⃣0️⃣ (+30) Schools with Multiple Cases: 2️⃣8️⃣ (+5)
“That is the biggest issue right now: We don’t know where these cases are coming from,” said Ryan Imgrund, a biostatistician at Southlake Regional Health Centre in Newmarket."
Ontario has the following hospital statistic:
This is what Canada looks like...
Our Dr. Drummond and Hillier are still disagreeing. I think an ER physician's opinion holds more weight than an old politician.

...this Covid-19 mess isn't getting any better here!
Our grandkids are in French Immersion, but unfortunately it isn't offered in the virtual school, just some core French. Did you get the email from Ontario College of Teachers asking if interested in being reinstated? My reply, Thanks but no thanks! One active case in Hastings Prince Edward.
I didn't get an email, Linda! But, I'm with you, no way!
Here, kids are considered spreaders of the virus, and so schools are closed despite protests from parents, used to school babysitting services.
It is just an awful year and the consequences of the school problems will be felt for years no matter what! Scary. I’m sure your grands will be fine though, with their parents and you two as support!
I received an email from the College of Teachers inviting me to rejoin because I might want to do some supply teaching. lol
