BREAKING: Provincial modelling shows Ontario will hit 2500 #covid19 cases a day at 3% growth and roughly 6500 a day at 5% growth by mid December.
New modelling projects #covid19 ICU capacity will break 150 bed threshold in best and worst case scenario within 2 weeks - that means surgeries will have to be cancelled #covid19
we are at about 4 percent growth now but heading higher. #covid19
5% growth is considered "optimistic" according to Dr Brown from the health table
Shocking - after modelling is released showing grimmest picture yet of the pandemic in Ontario I'm told Premier Ford will not be commenting today. #covid19

Disturbing transcripts of Cdn Air Force testimony before Long Term Care Commission have been released. They realized immediately homes were in “crisis.” They found “a clear rapid decline in staffing” with approx just 20% of original staff. Temp staff were hired but untrained.
Lack of communication is discussed in the LTC homes and the CAF found there was no oversight to ensure “people weren’t conducting themselves in an unethical manner.” No one was being held to account.
Major Karoline Martin says what CAF saw in long term care homes was so bad it was going to have a serious emotional impact: “we very very quickly recognized this had a high risk for either mental health struggles or long-term impacts on our clinicians...it was very traumatic.”

Premier Ford says Ontario's #covid19 numbers are going in the wrong direction, says the situation is changing rapidly and steps need to be taken to keep people safe. (the province's positivity rate has more than doubled in the last month)
Premier has definitely changed his messaging since last week when he introduced the new colour coded framework - today he is emphasizing it is just a "baseline" and regional medical officers of health can add further restrictions #covid19
Premier Ford says he can't rule out a lockdown and if numbers get totally out of control he won't hesitate to do what he has to. Manitoba is essentially moving to lockdown. #covid19

Breaking: Peel Region is moving into the "red zone." it means indoor dining and gyms can resume tomorrow under strict guidelines. #covid19
There has been a lot of criticism threshold for red zone is too high - 100 cases per100k. 10% positivity.
Brampton has 170 per 100k and 11% positivity - so even though its markers are higher it is still going into red zone where indoor dining can resume and gyms open #covid19
Government source told me this morning cabinet was going to consider allowing Peel to move to red zone and keep Brampton under modified stage 2 - it appears they shot that down #covi19
