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

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

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).

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
