Omicron is here 1/5 We’re now following Omicron closely on our dashboard. Some key figures: Rt for Omicron is 3.32 (!!!), compared to 1.27 for all variants combined…. #COVID19ON covid19-sciencetable.ca/ontario-dashbo…
Omicron is here 2/5: Just. Look. #COVID19ON covid19-sciencetable.ca/ontario-dashbo…
Omicron is here 3/5 21% of Ontario’s cases are now Omicron. The number of Omicron cases here is doubling every three (!!) days. #COVID19ON covid19-sciencetable.ca/ontario-dashbo…
Omicron is here 4/5: Percent of Ontarians over 5 yrs with three doses of vaccine: 7.9%. (That yellow line at the bottom you can barely see.) #COVID19ON covid19-sciencetable.ca/ontario-dashbo…
Omicron is here 5/5 The current surge is mostly Delta, but it’s hitting us just as we need to be ramping up for Omicron – and it’s a sign of how vulnerable an un/undervaccinated province is. #COVID19ON covid19-sciencetable.ca/ontario-dashbo…

We’ve just released new COVID modeling. We’ll take you through it in eight tweets. You can get the deck here: covid19-sciencetable.ca/sciencebrief/u… #COVID19ON
Slides 3/4/5: We’re walking a narrow ledge. Positivity down but not consistently across ages & 19/34 PHUs have growing cases. We’re ok for now, but we have no wiggle room. #COVID19ON covid19-sciencetable.ca/sciencebrief/u…
Slides 6 & 7: Vaccines are our most important weapon & we have to reach more Ontarians. But until vaxx rates are much higher, the combo of current vaxx rates & public health measures are helping to control cases. #COVID19ON covid19-sciencetable.ca/sciencebrief/u…

There appear to be some rumours that the Science Advisory Table is withholding a consensus model of COVID-19 in the Fall. To be absolutely clear, that is not true. Pls read thread 1/4
We are now working to understand how COVID-19 may affect Ontario in coming months. As always, that means integrating the views arising from *many* models done by *many* teams and reviewing those results *across* teams until we generate a reasonable, scientific consensus. 2/4
Anything less is not rigorous science, and risks either underestimating or overestimating the real dangers we may face. A lot of mathematical and scientific work goes into generating a modelling consensus that Ontarians can count on; we move quickly, but not prematurely. 3/4

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… #COVID19ON covid19-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. #COVID19ON covid19-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. #COVID19ON covid19-sciencetable.ca/ontario-dashbo…

1/7 Infections are dropping in more places than they are growing – positive direction even in Peel & Toronto. This is the beginning of a good trend… #COVID19Ontario covid19-sciencetable.ca/wp-content/upl…
2 / 7 ICUs are still overstretched & our hospitals are still under extreme stress – so we’re not out of the woods. We have to protect our health care system… #COVID19Ontario covid19-sciencetable.ca/wp-content/upl…
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? #COVID19Ontario covid19-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. #COVID19Ontario covid19-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. #COVID19Ontario covid19-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. #COVID19Ontario covid19-sciencetable.ca/sciencebrief/b…
