Going to be live tweeting the @CBCNews announcement with my reactionary comments based on the live stream which is found at cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
Before I start, I will say I am hoping for the best, even if it is a start of much stronger restrictions so we can beat COVID-19 here in Ontario. I fully support shutting down non-essential stores, even stores like cell phone kiosks don't need to be open.
I thought the announcement was at 2:30 initially, then got pushed back to 3:30 pm, and now 4:00 pm, yet we are now at 4:10 pm with it not starting yet.

A #StayAtHomeOrder order might not violate the #FirstAmendment #righttofreeexercise of #religion, or it might. Candidly, the answer to the question of whether it does so depends entirely on the contents and stated motivation of the Order.
Since the #SCOTUS decided #EmploymentDivisionvSmith, it has been a constitutional truism that #neutrallaws of #generalapplicability can, as an incident of their nature and scope, tread on religious exercises without violating the Free Exercise Clause.
So, for example, a city might adopt a zoning ordinance, and create an #R1district defined as residential single-family dwellings only.

Homes could be built in this zone, but not barbershops, bowling alleys, temples, churches, libraries, etc.

Thread exploring #COVID19 numbers and trends:

I went back to March 3rd (when we hit 100) cases, and tracked growth rate for every day since then. The range from 3/3 through 3/23 was 1.21x to 1.51x, with an average of 1.34x.

Yesterday, 3/24, we saw a daily reported positive test growth rate of 1.19x, the lowest we've had. That's good. We now have 55.2k known positive tests as of this morning.

2/
Our new adjusted average since 3/3 is now 1.33x. Meaning, on average, we're growing in known positive test cases by 33% per day.

Does the fact that we saw a lower rate of growth mean the curve is flattening?

When asked when he plans to end the #StayAtHomeOrder, President Trump said Monday, “I’m not looking at months.” Problem is, without months of these measures, the US will see a catastrophic loss of life. There’s a right way to do this, and a wrong one 1/ wired.trib.al/2aWFbya
At some point, the US will have to start relaxing some restrictions in a targeted way, but doing so will require the large-scale deployment of testing, community screening, and contact tracing. None of these are up and running yet in the US 2/
Abandoning social distancing without these systems in place would be disastrous. The US now has 44k+ cases, making it one of the worst-hit countries in the world behind Italy and China. But the testing debacle means that number is likely just a fraction of the actual cases 3/

The message above, I tweeted many times, but it goes on deaf ears to a lot of my followers. I was called crazy for saying we have been under a Totalitarian rule since 1868 when this 14th Amendment political system was installed unlawfully.

Now millions of people across the Union are prisoners in their own home because your masters order you to STAY HOME!

My husband just left for his shift in the ICU, working with COVID19 patients.

Please stay home.

This healthcare worker had been dead from coronavirus 12-16 hours when the police discovered her body.

Her 4-year-old child was home alone.

She was 42.

When frontline healthcare workers start getting sick and dying, that means that less experienced healthcare workers have to jump into the breach.

If you don't want to be intubated by someone who has seen one but never done one and certainly couldn't teach one, please stay home.
