I have watched & listened to nearly every one of Premier Doug Ford's 200+ news conferences in the nine months since the pandemic began, and I believe he has never sounded more worried than he did this morning. #COVID19Ontario

Ford: "This is so, so serious. Matter of fact, this is the most serious situation we've ever been in, ever, ever, since the beginning of this pandemic." #COVID19Ontario
Ford: "We are in a crisis, that's how I can describe it. It is scary." #COVID19Ontario
Ford: "We're in a desperate situation and when you see the modelling, you'll fall off your chair. ... This is getting out of control and we have to do whatever it takes." #COVID19Ontario
Dr. Yaffe: "Today's numbers are, to be frank, they are scary. ... We need to consider all possible measures to contain this infection. We don't want more people dying. We don't want the ICUs overwhelmed."
Despite all that, the Ontario government announced no new measures today. An official in the premier's office says no new recommendations have gone to cabinet, nor will any recommendations be put to cabinet this weekend. #COVID19Ontario
More from this premier's office official:
Before recommendations can be made, Dr Williams needs more time with the data, because we don't know the full impact of the restrictions that were put into place on Boxing Day.
