Ontario's COVID-19 ICU crisis and explosion in cases didn't come out of nowhere. Doug Ford and the PCs loosened restrictions and ignored scientists for MONTHS as they warned about exactly this.

From March 11, Ontario Science Table Briefing:

(Pt 1/2) #COVID19ON #COVID19Ontario
On March 11 (over a month ago) the Ontario Science Table presents modelling that projects a potential disaster in Ontario's ICUs. Doug Ford & the PCs keep loosening restrictions anyway. Field hospitals will begin accepting patients next week. Pt 2/2

#COVID19ON #COVID19Ontario
Way back on February 11, the Ontario Science Table projected a future with thousands of daily COVID-19 cases and ICUs pushed to the brink. Doug Ford & the PCs ignored them and decreased public health measures, setting the stage for disaster. Pt 1/2

#COVID19ON #COVID19Ontario
While Ford and the PCs try to pretend they're blindsided by Ontario's ICU crisis and the explosion in COVID-19 cases, here's the Ontario Science Table projecting thousands of cases per day and ICUs on the verge of triage back on February 11th. Pt 2/2

#COVID19ON #COVID19Ontario
On April 1, the Ontario Science Table projected completely overwhelmed ICUs and exploding cases. Doug Ford and the PCs ignored their call for a stay-at-home order, instead enacting a fake lockdown that changed almost nothing in COVID hotspots. Pt 1/2

#COVID19ON #COVID19Ontario
This April 1 modelling - which showed no scenario where Ontario doesn't reach 800 ICU COVID cases (triage) - was presented to the Ford govt, and they still chose a half-ass lockdown instead of the stay-at-home order scientists said they needed. Pt 2/2

I don't get why people in Ontario aged 18-49 find it confusing to book their vaccine appt. Just go to covid19.ontariohealth.ca. Then, you may think clicking "age criteria for your Public Health Unit" would show you age criteria for your Public Health Unit, but you'd be wrong. 1/21
Instead, it brings up some sort of an FAQ with a URL that includes the phrase "vaccine-70-older" - ignore that, it's not relevant.

The first question on the page, "Who can schedule a vaccine appointment," contains two different links in it...2/21
One link is info about who should NOT get the vaccine, and one is a link to Ontario's 3-phase vaccination plan. If you follow the latter, it brings you to a page that gives a vague outline of Ontario's vaccine plan. It says Phase 2, which we're in now, is for ppl aged 60-79. 3/21

From the Ontario Science Table's March 11 talk on the COVID in the province. With restrictions lifted they predict, among other things, 500-600 ICU beds in early April (we're at nearly 600 now), 5000+ cases a day (4400 last 2 days), and serious impact to the healthcare system.
Ontario Science Table gave another briefing on April 1, the same day Ford announced the fake "shutdown" that changed almost nothing in Ontario's hotspots. Without intervention they predicted 4,000-5,000 cases in early-mid April (spot on), nearly 600 ICU cases (again, accurate).
We knew in Febrary variants of concern were spreading rapidly in ON and could overwhelm the healthcare system. Ford didn't act on this info (and actually lifted restrictions) because he & the PC govt wanted to see if the modelling would come true before they took action. No joke.

I don't get what's so hard to understand about Ontario's new COVID system. All you have to do is google "Ontario COVID plan." Then, you'll see the link labelled "Reopening Ontario." Click that link, then scroll down and find "Read The Framework." Look through the different...1/15
...levels to locate your local health region. It will be classified as one of:
- Prevent (standard measures) Green
- Protect (strengthened measures) Yellow
- Restrict (intermediate measures) Orange
- Control (stringent measures) Red

It's easy to remember...2/15
...because strengthened is obviously stronger than standard but not as strong as intermediate. If it helps, think of strengthened as the intermediate level between standard and intermediate. And of course intermediate is the intermediate level b/w strengthened & stringent... 3/15
