Ontario is reporting more than 2,300 new cases of the novel coronavirus and 27 more deaths as lockdown measures are set to be extended in some COVID-19 hot spots on Monday.
Provincial health officials recorded 2,357 new infections on Saturday, up from 2,290 reported the previous day.
Saturday marks the fifth day in a row that the province has recorded more than 2,000 new daily cases of the virus.
LILLEY: Prepare for dark news regarding lockdown on Monday
The two weeks to flatten the curve became months that have not ended, so is it any surprise that the four-week lockdown for Toronto and Peel has been extended?
Come on, Eileen.
Come on, Mayor John Tory and Fire Chief Matthew Pegg, too.
This is not a police state.
The RCMP say they have served tickets totalling $18,400 to representatives from three places of worship in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley for violating public health orders.
The Mounties said in a news release that the churches were hosting in-person gatherings contrary to provincial orders intended to protect people from COVID-19. On the Sunday mornings of Dec. 6 and Dec. 13, officers in Chilliwack, B.C., responded to reports of people gathering at three separate churches contrary to the health orders.
The American Medical Association has been adamantly against hydroxychloroquine as a therapeutic for COVID for the past year. Just a few days before the presidential election they reversed course, reversing their opposition. Did they suddenly realize HCQ might have benefit in certain patient groups or were they lying for the past year? How many individuals died as a result of being denied potential lifesaving treatment?

With laws and health regulations changing continually, the only constant seems to be deflection by the very sources who are supposed to know and uphold the regulations.
It’s expected the majority of Canadians could be vaccinated against the novel coronavirus by next September, according to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
While that’s great news for Canada, experts warn that unless other nations have access to vaccines, Canadians will have to continue to live in a “bubble” — meaning our borders could remain closed.
Professor Elgh has been one of the most outspoken critics of the Swedish response to Covid-19, calling for more dramatic action as early as March 2nd in an op-ed in the main Swedish broadsheet. Since then, he has been shocked by what he sees as inaction by the Swedish government. “In the early days, the information was ‘this was nothing to worry about,’ week after week after week,” he says.
THE former Supreme Court judge, Lord Sumption, summed the case up with searing clarity: lockdown is a religious cult.
On Julia Hartley-Brewer’s Talk Radio show, he said the government ‘have been preaching the gospel of lockdown for eight months. The fact is they (lockdowns) do not work. If we were all to be sedated, locked in wooden boxes permanently and fed by robots, that might work.’
While Hollywood actors and directors mill around the streets of Alberta’s picturesque Canmore, the very storefronts they use to film their Hallmark movies are closed down.
OTTAWA – Canada’s chief public health officer is calling for tougher COVID-19 restrictions to be imposed immediately in many parts of the country as new case numbers continue to rise.
Provinces like Ontario still have hotspots where the epidemic is not under control, Dr. Theresa Tam told reporters in Ottawa on Friday, and the situation threatens to overwhelm critical-care workers.
Tam said provinces need to re-evaluate the measures they have in effect now because case numbers are continuing to grow.
Premier Doug Ford says that his government will be making an announcement on Monday regarding what its next steps will be amid the surging number of COVID-19 cases in the province.
Ford made the comment as he delivered prepared remarks prior to an emergency meeting via teleconference with 113 Ontario hospital leaders.
He said that the lockdown orders in Toronto and Peel that are set to expire next week will be extended and that his government will have “additional information on Monday for the balance of the province.”
Ontario is reporting nearly 2,300 new cases of COVID-19 ahead of an announcement from the Ford government that could see new restrictions introduced in some regions.
The Ministry of Health says that there were 2,290 new cases of the disease caused by the novel coronavirus confirmed on Thursday as well as an additional 40 deaths. That is down from the record 2,432 infections reported one day prior but it still represents the second highest number that we have ever seen in a single day.
The rolling seven-day average also continues to rise and now stands at 2,089, which is up 11.6 per cent from this time last week and nearly 19 per cent from two weeks ago.
Doug Ford says ‘everything is on the table’ as pressure mounts for wider and stricter COVID-19 lockdowns
Premier Doug Ford is under mounting pressure to impose wider lockdowns and make them more strict as the daily number of new COVID-19 cases continues to rise, hitting another record and risking a major surge over the holidays.
The Ontario Hospital Association called on Ford to put almost half of the province’s regional health units into a four-week lockdown along with Toronto, Peel Region, York Region and Windsor-Essex when he announces the weekly changes to public health measures Friday.
Is it just me, or is the messaging on the COVID vaccines more than a little off? Here’s NBC medical analyst Dr. Vin Gupta either contradicting himself, moving the goalposts again, or just saying the vaccine can’t be trusted yet but he’s getting it anyway to virtue-signal to us unwashed commoners.
