Nov. 13th – a press conference warned that in a month, assuming 5% increases in numbers, Ontario could be up to 6500 cases a day in December.
We have a controversy in Ontario. The Toronto Star broke a story that the PHO did not see the final staging report. Mike Gibbs is one person calling the premier out. His new colour-coded system is ridiculous. He is listening to business owners, not the Public Health Ontario (PHO) experts.

PHO provided advice for four levels of control measures. To move into the strictest level short of a full lockdown — a category now known as red or “control” — PHO recommended a threshold of a weekly infection rate of 25 cases per 100,000 people and a lab test positivity rate of 2.5 per cent, Deeks said. But in the final plan, which Deeks said she saw only last Tuesday when it was announced to the public, these thresholds were set four times higher: at 100 cases per 100,000, and 10 per cent.

JB checked the US stats, and found the 6th worst US states are at infection rates of over 100 cases per 100,000. ND 175/100,000; but if Peel Health Unit was a US state it might be #4; Toronto would be #10.

The premier changed his mind.

 
The US is at records highs, as well.

COVID-19 has slowed, and most are in Toronto. 




Troops were sent to Ontario and Quebec LTC and it's not a good result, with 28, now 38, testing positive for COVID.
There are 1,675 service members taking part in the pandemic response operation in both provinces. Most of them are backstopping Quebec's network of long-term care homes.

This dude is worried about losing his medical benefits. We have universal healthcare. Seriously. His medical and dental plan would pay for drugs, while he worked as a Sunwing pilot. Now he pays out of pocket like most Canadians. Dentists aren't working, of course. What a selfish man.


One woman is lobbying for her cancer surgery. What could go wrong?

Sydney Loney was diagnosed with breast cancer
The procedure is a mastectomy, lymph node biopsy and immediate reconstruction. It’s an eight-hour surgery. “We could move four other patients through in that time,” one of my surgeon’s assistants told me bluntly. 




Canada's chief public health officer Theresa Tam says 7% of COVID-19 cases in Canada have required hospitalization, 12% of those who've been hospitalized are under the age of 40. 184,000 people have been tested countrywide.

Information gap widens in Ontario as coronavirus sweeps through nursing homes

Ten of the homes with confirmed cases are in Toronto, including Seven Oaks, a city-owned facility where two residents have died of COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus. The tally also includes a nursing home in Bobcaygeon where 14 staff members have tested positive and two residents have died.

The coronavirus #COVID19 has now infected more people in Canada (569) than SARS did (438). canada.ca/en/public-heal
It was named Spanish flu because the war-time censors forbid reporting on the flu in Allied countries; Spain being neutral was allowed so people mistakenly thought it started there.

There are three confirmed new cases of COVID-19 in Ottawa this morning. That means there is a total of 13 in the capital. Ontario is up to 172 active cases and five people whose cases are "resolved" and aren't contagious any longer. Ottawa's medical officer of health has asked people to limit "non-essential" travel outside homes and to avoid crowds if they go to the store, park or on a walk. Dr. Vera Etches said there could be 200 to 1,000 cases in Ottawa, given that many are likely undetected.

March 15

Canada has tested 25,000 people. 


Another interesting point... while South Korea has reported 1261 7000+ cases, North Korea has not reported any.
Iran is a case in point.  The minister and deputy minister of health in Iran gave a press conference stating that they didn't have a problem. The deputy minister was wiping his brow, and was diagnosed with it himself. Iran has reported 388 cases (Feb. 29), but...
Their findings: Iran likely didn’t have tens of cases of COVID-19, as was officially reported. It probably had somewhere closer to 18,300.

I hope it is just peer pressure to be so cold and vulgar. It is awful to hear about. Elders are disrespected enough, as it is.

JB went for toilet paper. The shelves were really low. That is the most peculiar phenomenon. 

We've finally tested positive for COVID-19 in Ottawa, our closest city. It is in 5 provinces, so far. There were 42 cases in Ontario, 113 in Canada; 1322 in the US. The USA isn't testing citizens freely, however. There are a lot of Americans complaining online that their rules around testing are very limited. Canadians coming back from the US have brought the virus here. The only way to get on top of this pandemic is to identify it and isolate carriers.

New York officials traced more than 50 coronavirus cases back to one attorney

17 people in two days
  • Just two days after the man's positive results, on March 4, his 20-year-old son, a student at New York's Yeshiva University, also tested positive. School officials said he was showing symptoms of the virus.
  • The wife and 14-year-old daughter of the attorney both also tested positive on the same day.
  • So did the neighbor who drove him to the hospital.
  • And a friend of the attorney.
  • The friend's wife, two sons and daughter tested positive that day too.
  • The day after, on March 5, the governor says eight other people connected to the attorney tested positive for the virus.

The US has begun a cover up of testing. Some people cannot get tested unless they are deemed 'high-risk.' Originally, the CDC site showed 472 people tested. This is far less than should be tested. At this point, they don't know how it is spread human-to-human. 
People with underlying conditions are most at-risk.
