Oct 25: TAKE HOME

#Canada is performing similar to peers such as Germany in testing & controlling #COVID19 spread.

OUR FAILURE: When #Canadians get COVID-19, we’re more likely to die.

WHY? Longterm, congregate care, retirement homes.

See below.

81% of #Canada's #COVID19 deaths are in congregate living settings, primarily longterm and congregate care and retirement homes.

Here is what #Ontario #COVID19 deaths look like so far in the 2nd wave. Deaths are increasing exponentially.

#Canadians pay attention. We are NOT protecting those who most need our advocacy.
