This. Is. Different. 1/7. Yes, we’ve been at this for a year; we’re exhausted; “we’ve heard it all before”…. Today, our news is different. The situation is more serious. We also have options. Pls read these 7 tweets & share. #COVID19Ontario covid19-sciencetable.ca/sciencebrief/c…

This. Is. Different 2/7. Ontario is in more danger than before. New data: VOC are now dominant and lead to 62% higher risk of hospitalization, 114% higher risk of ICU; 40% higher risk of death. #COVID19Ontario

This. Is. Different 3/7. COVID is hitting YOUNGER. New data: with VOCs now dominant, 46% of ICU admissions (March 15-21) were younger than 60. #COVID19Ontario

This. Is. Different. 4/7. This time we know exactly what’s coming: VOC hits hardest 15-28 days after infection; Rising infections today are a clear map to more ICU and death within four weeks. #COVID19Ontario

This. Is. Different. 5/7. We’re not reacting the way we did before. We already have more ICU & hospitalization than we did when we locked down in December – off the same # of infections we had then. #COVID19Ontario

This. Is. Different. 6/7. We CAN do more: BE OUTSIDE. Risks are far lower. If you can take it outside, pls do. While outside: stay 2m apart, mask if you need to be closer. (Always mask if you must meet or work w/ others inside). #COVID19Ontario

This. Is. Different. 7/7 Vaccines Work. If you’re eligible, please get vaxxed NOW. If you know others who are eligible, help them make and keep appointments. Any vaccine approved by Health Canada is a good vaccine. #COVID19Ontario

Not sure how well this will work and just trying to be helpful so please add
