New, stark information was released today by #Ontario health officials and politicans related to #COVID19, including projections of cases, deaths, and changes needed. Key details in this thread #onpoli

Modeling depicted worst and best case. Without action, Ontario may have had 100,000 deaths over 2yrs; that number is closer to 3K-15K with enhanced action. #onpoli #COVID19

Enhanced action is also needed to ensure there's enough ICU beds for #COVID19 patients. Currently Ontario is within capacity needs, but should there be a spike in cases, that capacity will disappear. #onpoli

Key populations impacted by #COVID19 remain seniors, particularly those in long-term care as well as FN communities. This in mind, @fordnation is set to announce further changes to essential services designed to #FlattenTheCurve. #onpoli

@fordnation announced the closure of additional sectors in the economy to help curb the spread of #COVID19. Industrial and new construction will end, as well as some retail which had previously been permitted. Full list can be found here: https://www.ontario.ca/page/list-essential-workplaces #onpoli
