Premier Ford is calling on the federal govt to take further action to prevent travel-related cases of #COVID19. Ontario news release: "1.8% of all COVID cases are related to international travel". Graph shows travel is only category that hasn't increased at exponential rate.
Travel is responsible for an even tinier portion of Ontario's second wave of #COVID19.
My math shows travel-related cases make up just 1.0% of the roughly 216,000 new cases reported since Sept. 1.
Source of data: covid-19.ontario.ca/data/likely-so… #COVID19Ontario
The province counts travel-related cases as "Individuals who travelled outside of Ontario within 14 days before their symptoms began" so that means the numbers would not include people who got directly infected by a returning traveler here. #COVID19Ontario

SCOOP: What I've found out about the #COVID19 modelling that Premier Doug Ford says will make you "fall off your chair." #COVID19Ontario
cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
All of this information comes from multiple sources who have seen the modelling, which was presented to cabinet on Friday.
However, the Ford government is not planning to release it publicly until tomorrow, nor announce any new restrictions until tomorrow. #COVID19Ontario
Sources say the modelling suggests Ontario is on track to report an average of 6,000 new cases of #COVID19 daily before the end of this month. That would be 10X as high as the peak of the first wave. #COVID19Ontario

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
cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
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
