Elective Surgeries again being cut back in Ontario. Not because of draconian Lockdowns but because of the ICU availability to accommodate such surgeries.

You can re-train ICU nurses in a year?
-
Specifically for covid? Sure. If we really wanted to. But our effort has been piss poor. Never thinking ahead.

Say thanks to Trudeau for this.

I'll agree that Retail and Dining establishments have been the punching bag for Public Health specialists. It's easy to shut those places down because people can still go through their lives without them. But I suspect the required reduction in cases is achieving an diminishing return as cases are popping up in "essential" workplaces in certain "hot zones". And those people bring it back home where they often live in multi-generation homes. The daily numbers only prove to show the crisis in Healthcare. We won't see an appreciable effect on these number for at least another week.

Yes, do whatever you must to Biden, and our vaccine problems. ??

I'm not sure I'm down with Vaccine Passports for basic services like going into a Grocery Store. But if a country wants proof of vaccination before entering its borders, that's fair game. You used to be able to enter the US with simple ID, now you almost certainly need a passport. I don't see what the difference is. I'm almost certain, by the end of the year, all international travel will require proof of vaccination. I also think access to Public Services like Public Education will require a vaccine once it's available to School Age Children. Just like the case with the MMR vaccine.
-
Vaccines will be made available to anyone 18+ in a select group of Postal Codes in Ontario. This is what they should have done from the start.

No, I’m not. More vaccines earlier is what people were saying more months. That’s not Monday morning quarterback.
-
Do you think JT just didn't accept vaccines? The issue is that manufacturing wasn't set up domestically. So they couldn't do what the US did and ban exports.
Only a handful of countries are benefitting from this.
-
The issue was that he was late setting up purchase agreements with vaccine makers. Argus has outlined this very well in several topic posts with references.
-
The hindsight error is focusing on LTC homes first. People who were more likely to spread the disease should have been the focus. Even with this Stay-At-Home orders, factories and Manufacturing facilities stay open, with no plans on vaccinating people under 40 until sometime next month. As the doctor said, the variants are effecting the public different than in initial waves of the virus. Ontario is still sitting on like a million vaccines with only an appointment portal as the distribution method. They should be have been setting up clinics at Essential workplaces in February.
-
Doctors are saying it now.
-
DoFo has not met this moment. He still refuses to re-deploy vaccines resources to places where the spread is the greatest. And when he says he will. people under 50 still can't get a vaccine. TBH we'd be in a better spot if more focus was initially made to vaccinate workers in hot zones as opposed to LTC residents.
-
Treatments may keep you from dying but you'll still have an extended stay in an ICU. Death numbers can also be explained by the younger people getting this. But still, if an ICU is overwhelmed they have to ship patients to other regions and people who need an ICU for any number of reasons that don't involve COVID-19 may be effected. (Grave Trauma, Important surgery or Cancer)
-
Oh you could, you could shut down everything but Food and Pharmacy products production and distribution. Only let Grocery Stores offer Curbside pick up. Force businesses to only do business with people in their region. (ID Check for people that live in other regions, I think you mentioned something similar awhile back). But they don't have the stomach for that. Just keep using Retail and family gatherings as a scapegoat. All the while they'll vaccinate a 70-year-old that's already staying at home and refuse to vaccinate a 35-year-old that works in close contact with other people in a COVID-19 hotspot. I've come 180 on this. They have no idea what they're doing!
-
And could Social Distance with a mask. Retail is the scapegoat to all of this. It's probably not where the real spread is happening. So fine, I'll go back to ordering all my retail online and occasionally doing take-out. But when they don't have the guts or ability to target places of spread, EFF them!, I'll congregate with friends and family. They've cried wolf way to much without actually trying to tackle the real cause of spread.
-
You didn't answer the question. What exactly is different from this Shutdown. More closing private business but refusing to close big box stores and factories?
-
What exactly would a "Stay-at-Home" order entail? And if you say, shut down retail. In the hot spots it's effectively been shut down since November. They had 2 weeks of a fractional loosening of restrictions and cases have now skyrocketed, out-of-control. The entire province suffers because no one in charge would call a spade a spade and focus all efforts to areas of socio-economic challenges and where "essential" workers can't stay home. The freedoms in the rest of the province is being used as a Scapegoat. I'm sure people an hour outside of Toronto not being able to dine on a patio and get a haircut for a month really effects the spread in a place like Brampton or Jane and Finch in Toronto.
-
A Stay at Home Order doesn't mean anything if people can still go out and exercise, go to the Grocery Store and go to an "Essential" job. Why can't a Hair Salon stay open, but there's no law forcing factories, warehouses and manufacturing facilities to take the temperature of every person multiple times a day?
-
College students can learn at home. All these "essential" manufacturing jobs should have had their people vaccinated by now.
-
Anecdotal but still could be emblematic of the new reality. https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/ontario-woman-dies-after-contracting-covid-19-from-husband-who-got-infected-at-work-doctor-says-1.5374029
-
You'd think. But if workplaces are driving cases, like I'm hearing. Then that won't change until these people get vaccinated.
-
Since January 15th, In Ontario, people over 60 account for only less than a quarter of COVID-19 cases. The narrative on this disease being one that only effects the old is not accurate.

Young people wont stay indoors forever and are going to get exposed. The death rate seems to have gone flat so far, seems like good news for once.
Let them live on...

Boges is just cheerleading for more leftist liberal shutdown...

Have you seen my post in the Ontario COVID-19 page? I'm not advocating for that.

Also, retail establishments can stay open in hot spots under this new "shutdown". But personal care and dining are halted in places where the outbreak wasn't so bad. There were 6 plus weeks where this was allowed without a drastic spike in cases in many of the regions surrounding Toronto. I hope DoFo gets murdered for this Shutdown.

I know this is a bit of Monday Morning Quarterbacking but Ontario has effed up this rollout. 1) Apparently there are scores of no-shows to appointments because people are making multiple appointments to try and secure early dates. You can't no-show to a dentist appointment without paying a fee. How can you not charge someone for possibly waste a valuable vaccine? 2) The drivers of this wave is not LTC home residents, it's not even at-risk populations. It's outbreaks in factories and warehouses in low-income areas. Younger people are getting it and spreading it. The vaccination effort should focus on people that can't stay home! Anyone over 50 can get a Vaccine. We need to focus on people that are contributing to the increased hospitalization.
-
Good luck travelling once the vaccine is widely available then.
-
It's completely anecdotal, but most of the people 60+, I know, now have access to a vaccine appointment. Perhaps we should pivot vaccination to service sector worker. I suspect they're driving a lot of the infection rates.

Why? What are you doing to stick it to the man? Refusing to wear a mask in public like the brave patriot you are?

Some good news. Vaccine eligibility for 55 now. https://www.cp24.com/news/ontario-expanding-covid-19-vaccine-pharmacy-program-to-those-55-locations-doubling-to-750-1.5371332 Only Astazenca though. Do you feel lucky?

I pray that good weather slows the infection rate as people can do their congregating outside. That's what slowed the first wave to a Trickle last year.
