They've changed it, yet again.
APRIL 2022
The antibody surveillance study “Household transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from unvaccinated asymptomatic and symptomatic household members with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection” published in CMAJ Open (Canadian Medical Association Journal) included 695 participants from 180 households in Ottawa between September 2020 and March 2021. The study included households with at least one member having had a confirmed COVID-19 infection, and each participating household enrolled had at least one child within their household.
People with SARS-CoV-2 infection transmitted extensively within their households, with a secondary attack rate of about 50%. Although children transmitted at a lower rate than adults, they still infected one-third of household members; this finding should inform public health policy. Asymptomatic spread occurred and should be accounted for in the formulation of public health and travel policies. Our findings have implications for in-person school or activities because the risk of transmission may be high when masks are not worn continuously or consistently in poorly ventilated settings. Nonpharmacologic interventions should continue to be considered for congregate settings.
April has been gruesome. School absences have been increasing. The rapid test doesn't work well in identifying positive BA.2 cases. We aren't testing many with the PCR test.
Once more, for anyone who thinks they can’t possibly have #COVID19 because their RAT was -ve: Assume if you had a +ve contact and are symptomatic that you are infected and contagious. This morning’s RAT was faintly +ve. PCR confirmed +ve. Tonight, feel horrid, RAT is false -ve pic.twitter.com/TRhcj54JEc

Long-Term Care
This information is up to date as of the afternoon of Wednesday, Jan. 12.Jan. 1st – Leeds, Grenville & Lanark District Health Unit: 251 new cases
"On December 31, 2021 testing for COVID-19 was limited to the most vulnerable individuals and individuals associated with high risk exposure settings. This means that confirmed cases will significantly underestimate the true number of people currently infected with COVID-19 in the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit region. From this point forward, information from the daily COVID-19 Surveillance Dashboard should not be compared to dates before these testing criteria changes.
- Leeds, Grenville & Lanark District Health Unit: 248 new cases
Omicron is now hitting Ontario seniors around the rate we were seeing in the general population last week. By sample date, the 528 Ontarians 70+ positive on Monday were most of any day of the pandemic. (The 7-day avg. isn't yet a record & 80s and 90+ are lagged more than 70s.) pic.twitter.com/WgDpORblWk

Article on rapid covid tests:
“With a rapid test, a positive is a positive,” said Dr. Eric Arts, a virologist and immunology professor at Western University. “A negative is not a definitive negative. You may still be infected, regardless of what the rapid test shows you.”
- Stittsville's St. John Paul II Catholic Elementary School closed due to COVID, possibly Omicron.
- South Crosby PS (Elgin, ON) as of Dec. 12 they had over 25 cases and is closed.
- Our health unit does not report on weekends.

Where we are at in September
Here in Canada (population 38 million), our Prime Minister Trudeau has mandated vaccines for federal employees. Healthcare, in Canada, is a provincial mandate and he cannot force this on Ontario (pop. 15 million), where I live. Here, 85% of eligible citizens have had one dose, 77% are fully vaxxed. In our local health unit, in southeast Ontario, we've the highest vaccination rates of all of Ontario at 92% first dose for eligible people (age 12+), 86% are fully vaxxed as of Aug. 30th.August
As children acquire this infection at a low level, they'll build natural immunity like any cold virus and it will become seasonal. How long that takes could be several years." -- Dr. Kieran Moore, CMOH, Aug 10.
