‘A one-size-fits-all approach is becoming increasingly difficult,’ said Kingston Mayor Bryan Paterson

The fight against the COVID-19 pandemic was originally framed in wartime terms, as a national struggle. Then we divided along provincial lines as the virus took hold in Quebec and Ontario, leaving places like Manitoba and New Brunswick virtually untouched.

By Tuesday, 62 of those cases had resolved, leaving a single confirmed case in the community. There have been no deaths and no outbreaks in long-term care homes, yet people in Kingston are still living under restrictive stay-at-home orders issued across the province. “I’m speaking with mayors in the Toronto-area saying things are moving too fast for them. And then you have situations in Eastern Ontario like ourselves where we’re hearing from our own public health officials that we’re ready to move to the next stage. That’s showing there’s a real case for a regional approach,” said Paterson.

“We need a plan that recognizes the differences on the ground in different parts of our province,” said Premier Doug Ford on Tuesday afternoon. On Friday, Ford announced that the plan to open up will go forward on a regional basis, but few details about how that will look have been revealed. It could go city-by-city or allow the regional health authorities to set guidelines. In Quebec, for example, the province is split between Montreal and everywhere else.

Aside from stern warnings from public health officials and politicians, there’s not much to stop people in hotspot cities from driving down the highway to get a haircut or to visit family members. There are no borders and setting up checkpoints would be difficult in cities with so many entry points.

“At the borders between provinces, at least we can talk to people as they’re moving across that border. We can give information, we can require people to self-isolate for two weeks when they arrive,”.... ABSOLUTELY INSANE!!! Do people really think this will happen 🤦🏼‍♀️

10,000 Canadians to be tested for COVID-19 antibodies in hopes of understanding immunityBy testing the blood of more than 10,000 Canadians for antibodies, a new study is hoping to not only find out whether immunity fades with time, but also discover what percentage of the population has been exposed to COVID-19. Maybe start testing those that joined those protests... just a suggestion... COVID CON 2020....only infectious if the left dont have riots or terrorist attacks to do on cities. No thank you for me. But if you are going to start with someone. Start with mayors, prime ministers, and their families, also a few choice Pinky and the Brain scientists.😉
