Just a reminder...

"Hospitalizations", "ICU admissions", & "deaths" attributed to COVID-19 are all a subset of the total # of "cases" - and as such are subject to the case definition which only requires a "+" test result (with or WITH symptoms) usually within previous 30 days.
health.gov.on.ca/en/pro/program…

So, if you had a "positive" test result on admission to hospital for emergency heart surgery, etc. - and NEVER had or developed symptoms during your entire hospital stay - you would be classified as a "COVID-19 Hospitalization".
If you had a "+" test result & then died of traumatic injuries after an accident, committed suicide, or were already on death's doorstep & were expected to die imminently from cancer - yet had absolutely NO symptoms of COVID-19 - you would still be classified a "COVID-19 death".

@fordnation & @celliottability
You need to provide some #perspective
You have only found less than 300 cases of the "Oh-so-scary" UK variant from Dec. 26 to today....
...out of over 130,000 positive tests in that same time period.

1/...
You have stated that you are testing the sickest as you feel that those are more likely to give positive test results for variants - BUT still have come up with less than impressive numbers.

2/...
The Ontario Ministry of Health's own report on variants does not show any alarming trends either - as shown below and here:

@fordnation & @celliottability
You have created a #CultureOfFear for the people of Ontario.

We know that variants and mutations are a normal and EXPECTED course for viruses - and does NOT increase their pathogenicity or mortality.
nature.com/articles/s4156…

1/...
We know that there have been thousands or variants circulating for MANY months.
nextstrain.org/ncov/north-ame…

We know that the focus on variants started when the UK used a less-than-concerning academic article in the BMJ to justify their new draconian measures in mid-December.

2/...
You did NOT need to jump on that bandwagon.

Creating fear of "variants" seems like a desperate last measure to keep the fear of the "pandemic" going and keep the attention away from the irreparable harm YOUR reaction to it has caused to our:

One has to wonder why the virus has NOT ravaged the homeless in Toronto...?
...why it HASN'T run rampant through the ubiquitous crowded apartment buildings in Toronto where people have not only had to share hallways, elevators, and laundry rooms - but have been...
1/... Image
...essentially confined indoors in those buildings with hundreds of strangers for more time than they have ever spent previously?

Even PRIOR to the mask mandates - this was NOT a problem!

Could it be that this virus carries the highest risk for...
2/...
...the elderly WITH multiple co-morbidities AND who are cohorted with similar high risk individuals (i.e. LTC) - and the risk to the remainder of society is extremely low?

Oh wait...we have been saying this all along...
