We’ve been a little quiet the last few days because frankly, we don’t know what to say. The unmitigated #COVID19 #ONhealth #onted disaster spurred by @fordnation @celliottability @sflecce @OntarioPCParty is now sprawling in so many directions, our heads are spinning.
1/8
Shall we talk about #Ontario's case count, which at 478 today is over 5x what it was 30 days ago & the highest since May 2? Shall we talk about how the source of most of these cases is unknown, and these #’s will continue to explode w/out decisive steps based on evid & experts?
2
Shall we talk about the disaster of #Ontario #CovidTesting? The hours-long line-ups; the ppl being turned away; the for-a-fee💰testing for those who can pay? Shall we talk about how predictable this fall testing surge was, and how @fordnation @celliottability failed to prepare?
3
Or shall we talk about #onted schools? W/ some boards in class for only 1 wk & none more than 2.5 wks, Ont has almost 150 school cases. #COVID19 is confirmed in 1 / 42 Ont schools. And though experts say #smallerissafer, 30+ students are packed into classrooms across the prov.

We watch in horror as the probs unfold in #onted #virtualschool. School boards scrambling, teachers w/out assignments, students w/out teachers & parents furious. And yet dare we say this may be just as @fordnation @Sflecce want it? Our school boards were set up to fail when...
5
... @sflecce @fordnation offloaded virtually all #onted planning to boards this summer without enough time to prepare. Now blame and anger are deflected to school boards. Parents are losing confidence. And this makes for a system that’s easier to break.
6
Finally, perhaps we could talk about #LTC, where shameful underfunding & understaffing led to 1000s of deaths in the #firstwave. And where the outbreak now unfolding at #westendvilla tells us little has changed, despite promises from @fordnation @DrFullertonMPP @celliottability
7
So you see, it’s hard to know where to focus our attn.

We could hope & pray. But evid & expert advice have told us all along there are better ways to respond. @fordnation @Sflecce @celliottability @OntarioPCParty it’s not too late to redirect this disaster.
