Atlantic #Canada has done well so far in controlling #COVID19 cases & deaths.

The following tweets show other provinces how much worse we're doing.

Over the next few months we must aim for what Atlantic Canada has achieved, or many more of us will die.

It can be done.

#Canada #COVID19 DEATHS since beginning of epidemic

Per capita deaths in MB are now higher than in ON, even though MB experienced very few deaths in Wave 1.

MB is second only to QC now, and deaths are accelerating very fast.

#Canadians, we were horrified by deaths in LTC in Wave 1. But in Wave 2 this % has only dropped from 78% to 75%. Nothing has changed.

This time we have no excuse. We let this happen. All of us.

#StayHome

DAILY REMINDER of seriousness of our situation.

You'll understand even better when we get to cases.

During the holidays, travel only for essential reasons, don't shop in crowded malls & stores, don't socialize indoors w/ anyone except those under your roof.

Lives literally depend on your choices.

If you can, #StayHome
