In the US the numbers are over 10x that of Canada and going up faster than last week 😔 https://twitter.com/CBCAlerts/status/1245053326233931776

The effects of this pandemic will be felt for many years for so many people who survive it

This is just Ontario’s projections😳
I shudder to think of the outcome for the entire country.

Also, this is the first time I’ve read they’re predicting the pandemic will affect us for 18 months to 2 years

These slides compare Ontario & BC to countries like USA, Italy and Spain and how the province is using that data to make these projections.
If it looks this bleak for Ontario, imagine USA’s projections 😧

So far, of the 16,505 confirmed cases in Canada, 3,455 have recovered.
Still 12,729 active cases.
Of Canada’s 37million population 334,849 have been tested.
That’s approx the number of confirmed covid-19 cases in the US right now.

BC: one person died for every 20 people who tested positive with COVID-19

Ontario: 1 out of 18
Québec: 1 out of 24

Canada: 1 out of 25
Canada: confirmed covid case/people tested = 1/16

Still unclear who is being tested.

In the last 11 days all of Canada only tested 15,287 people per day.

All 10 provinces could only test 0.46% of the remaining 36.5 million people who had yet to be tested 11 days ago. We’ll never test everyone so physical distancing is crucial for those who can. It saves lives.

Institutions are deadly 😔

We might find out in the coming years but the 12,505 who’ve recovered most likely will have lifelong side effects after their body went through so much to survive the virus.
The repercussions of this pandemic are huge.

While Québec is putting kids, teachers & school staff at risk, Ontario is choosing the more cautious approach

These are the people accounted for but how many people have suffered and died without care, without acknowledgment either due to the virus or because of neglect from diverted resources?
I can’t even feel anger anymore đŸ˜©

The province of QuĂ©bec accounts for 64% of Canada’s total number of deaths from COVID-19 according to data on government & CBC websites 😬

People were warning months ago of a second wave of the coronavirus. I’m bracing myself for September & all of winter when we’ll also have to contend with more flu cases as is usual each year. We’re not in the clear yet. Far from it.

Ontario Hospital Association calls for Toronto, all of GTA regions and Ottawa to return to stage 2 of coronavirus public health measures https://twitter.com/OntHospitalAssn/status/1310594448544366594
Scientists & medical people warned of the second wave of COVID-19 months ago. This isn’t over. https://twitter.com/CBCAlerts/status/1310588361493614593
“the average infected person gave the disease to between 2 and 3 people. That makes COVID-19 about twice as contagious as the flu, more contagious than Ebola, only half as contagious as smallpox and a lot less contagious than measles [average person with measles gives to 15 ppl]” https://twitter.com/CBCAlerts/status/1314608098447896578
We should never have left stage 2. So many people started getting too casual & reverting back to old habits when we are not in the clear with covid-19. This was predictable & preventable. https://twitter.com/CBCAlerts/status/1314616534363525120
“Indigenous communities and schools are also seeing rising caseloads and that the situation is set to get worse in all regions except the Atlantic provinces and parts of the North unless action is taken.” https://twitter.com/asimakoaa/status/1329558059841056768
Adding this important thread on the covid-19 vaccine to this thread I started in March 2020.
I find it reassuring there’s an end in sight even if it takes several more months. https://twitter.com/jessecase/status/1329980714578829312
