Dr. Tam, Dr. Njoo and Health Minister Patty Hajdu have arrived to announce the latest national modelling data. We reported on the projected case count and deaths last night but I’ll add some of the other data in the thread below #cdnpoli

Cases in the 80+ range have surpassed the 20-39 category for the first since the start of the pandemic, which is not good.
Cases in all age groups are up, so this is not just a young adult problem like it was in the summer #cdnpoli

Provinces outside of Atlantic Canada are all doing very poorly but Manitoba is growing at a staggering rate. Alberta is not far behind.
The long term forecast for these provinces is not good either #cdnpoli

This chart shows other western countries who have seen a large second wave, and how that has impacted their hospital rates. We’re well behind those other countries and hopefully we can stay that way #cdnpoli
Our national 7 day rolling positivity rate is above 6%. Dr. Tam has said previously that we want to see that number below 1% #cdnpoli
After weeks of increase case activity, deaths are now on the rise. Dr. Tam just noted that a few people in their 30’s have died recently from Covid. #cdnpoli
If we stay on the track we’re on with a projection of 20k cases a day by Dec, Dr. Tam says it would be “really difficult” for the health care system to cope, adding that even right now, the health care system in certain cities is already strained #cdnpoli
Dr. Tam says that sometimes “mandatory rules help everyone” when it comes to Covid and now that we’re seeing a more uniform Covid experience across many provinces now, that will likely lead to more uniform Covid rules across in each province #cdnpoli
I pushed Hajdu on this twice and she would not answer. AB, ON, QC and SK have all said we’re getting 4 M Pfizer vaccine and 2 M Moderna vaccines by March. Doug Ford said they got this info from federal health officials but Hajdu wont confirm this #cdnpoli

Dr. Tam says that she thinks we’re on the grey trajectory now, so 20k cases a day by December unless we change things up #cdnpoli
