1/5 Ontario’s prescription: Vaccinate twice & stay patient. Vaccines are working – Rt is 0.75, but as mobility surges, we have to be patient with re-opening. Let’s stick with the plan… #COVID19ONcovid19-sciencetable.ca/ontario-dashbo…
2/5 Ontario’s prescription: Wait for the data… Infection & hospitalization are lagging indicators. We’ll only know by next week whether Phase 1 re-opening (two weeks ago) drove more infections or hospitalization. #COVID19ONcovid19-sciencetable.ca/ontario-dashbo…
3/5 Ontario’s prescription: Get vaccinated, please! Pls don’t pick and choose between Moderna & Pfizer. You can mix and match these – don’t hesitate. #COVID19ONcovid19-sciencetable.ca/ontario-dashbo…
4/5 Ontario’s prescription: Nail Delta! R(t) for Delta is below one for the moment, but we have to keep it down. The BEST thing we can do: double vaccinate and stick the course on re-opening… This is working, don’t rush anything. #COVID19ONcovid19-sciencetable.ca/ontario-dashbo…
5/5 Ontario’s prescription: Hammer this home. COVID is down but not out… Hospitalizations and infections are lagging indicators – so we’ll only know by next week what actually happened in Phase 1 opening. #COVID19ONcovid19-sciencetable.ca/ontario-dashbo…

3/7 Here’s a way to think of Ontario’s choice: Partial re-opening June 2? Or June 16? Do we push COVID down to keep COVID down, or do we lift stay at home two weeks earlier, see more cases and push back down later in the summer? #COVID19Ontariocovid19-sciencetable.ca/wp-content/upl…
1/6 Ontario needs EFFECTIVE sick leave. Looks like this: 1. You call your employer, 2. Employer keeps paying you (enough) 3. Government pays employer (fully) 4. You get better and go back to work. #COVID19Ontariocovid19-sciencetable.ca/sciencebrief/b…
2/6 Ontario needs EFFECTIVE sick leave to protect employees & businesses. It reduces absenteeism, increases productivity (by preventing workplace outbreaks) & supports businesses – especially sm biz w/ tight cash flow – through COVID. #COVID19Ontariocovid19-sciencetable.ca/sciencebrief/b…
3/6 Ontario needs EFFECTIVE sick leave to end the Third Wave. Most of Ontario’s outbreaks are at work. In the US, effective paid sick leave -- the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) – actually cut COVID-19 spread in half. #COVID19Ontariocovid19-sciencetable.ca/sciencebrief/b…
