I'm not believing anything until it happens. Remember how all of the news outlets were reporting a Dec 24 lockdown?
There have also been points in this pandemic when places such as AB and MB had the highest case count adjusted for population (I think still do). MT in the U.S. as well I believe at one point. There is likely some connection with density, but it doesn't tell the whole story either.As selfish as it sounds, I do think the GTA should get priority nationwide along with Vancouver due to density. The simple fact is that the density in the GTA is higher than anywhere else in Canada making transmission that much easier.
Places like Northern Ontario or the Yukon where people are 20 KM apart are at a lower risk of transmission and community spread compared to places like the GTA where you have thousands of people per kilometer.

The problem is that if you just give up controlling spread, eventually it overwhelm the health care system and we're faced with the choice of triaging all elderly COVID patients so we can deal with the baseline heart attacks, strokes, etc. How would you feel about that if you had a parent that was 70 or so on that list of "you're on your own" with COVID?Just heard Tory say on CP24 that he'd be in favor of big box stores being closed down because if small businesses are hurting why should big stores be allowed to stay open? Damn what an utter MORON. Its like the general population isn't suffering enough already so all our politicians, 'medical experts' and the media collectively got together to do everything possible to stomp us into the ground with closing even more stores and even thinking about imposing curfews.
All this for a virus that can barely kill anyone under 70. Almost 300 people die daily in Ontario from various causes and we've never taken such extreme measures to prevent all those deaths, but covid is the ONE THING that we need to throw out all logic and reasoning for and its the virus that we have to stop at all costs no matter what the long term damage will be to the province and its people.
