Of the 9193 Canadians who have died from COVID-19, I've linked 7547 to residential care. There are now 658 facilities on my list. Some things to note tonight ... docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
Ottawa's East End Villa went in just two days from not being on an outbreak list to having 6 dead. Quebec City is seeing similar spikes, with 4 dead in two different locations (3 in Beauport and one at RPA Résidence Kirouac).
This residence has been announced by the Ministry but not yet by the CIUSSCN. It's not a stretch to imagine that it was directly linked to the Bar Kirouac outbreak (I don't mean like a person who was at the karaoke necessarily but maybe) as these are all in the same neighbourhood
Notable tonight -- Ottawa released race-based data. COVID has disproportionately targeted racialized communities -- 66% (I hate how the writers used "from" here throughout, as if these communities are the source) ottawa.ctvnews.ca/66-per-cent-of…
And, families launch lawsuit against Villa Colombo in Kleinburg. Here, we note that families are alleging that homes did not test such that they know for sure their loved ones didn't die from COVID. yorkregion.com/news-story/101…
This is likely very common and we will never know the real death toll (also my cousin died from COVID in one of the Villa Colombo residences but I can't remember if it was Kleinburg or Toronto)
