Premier Doug Ford is warning that “every option is on the table” amid an alarming spike in COVID-19 infections, “including further shutdowns.”

Ford made the comment during his daily briefing at Queen’s Park on Monday as he discussed a “concerning” rise in infections, which has now seen the province’s seven-day rolling average climb to 209. It had stood at 85 as recently as last month.

He said that right now his government has no plans to reinstitute restrictions across the province and will instead look at doing so on a region-by-region basis if necessary. “When all three docs from different areas are telling me social gatherings are the biggest problem, folks these have to stop, they just have to stop. Bottom line. And we will be coming out to discuss that further this week,” Ford said. “I will be premier dad, I will be premier granddad, I will be premier anyone. We just can’t have these folks having these reckless parties. That is what this comes down to.

Warns? Just fucking do it!

but..... Ontario is Open for business he said.. lol he really should put his foot in mouth.. lol

Another shutdown to destroy the middle class deliberately. Scamdemic. Lock the economy down over a 99.7% survival rate

A second wave was/is inevitable,and has nothing to do with “social gatherings”He can’t shut down the economy again so he is appeasing everyone with this “uptick due to social gatherings” because The only thing he CAN do is limit the number of gatherings.

Prepare for another lockdown.

Yeah? Expect a riot

So many scared people in the comments lol. My god how you let the media scare you. Close this , close that, do this , do that. It’s simple, if you are scared don’t leave your house until there is a vaccine. Keep yourself and kids and love ones at home. It’s not hard

Shut It Down! MSMDefcon101 ❄️🎈😜🤡 ArmageddonWatchzzzzz

What a joke. We live in a commie country now and the government wags their finger at us to point the blame. They will lockdown the whole province again meanwhile many areas have little to no cases vs Peel/TO/Ottawa scamdemic2020

Anybody calling for a lockdown as the solution are just blind idiots. How does locking down everyone keep people SAFE? Covid isn't the only issue effecting man kind.... Lock down the city for something we can control with medicine. Brilliant.

Called this one..

I have no idea why they open up at the first place during summer

Don’t think he’s getting re-elected.

you wanna finish the job of killing our province? put that shit to a vote because im sure as hell not for it.

These are authoritarian and baseless threats. This virus is a joke, the death rate is a joke, and our hospitals were never overwhelmed. Sweden has reached herd immunity and deaths are way down. We have all been lied to.

Maybe stop warning and start doing, it’s only going to increase now that we’ve seen higher rates of infection. People clearly can’t do it on their own, they need the government to take some action

Lay of all non essential Government staff-then we will talk. It's a case demic.

Stop the weekend parties!

further shutdowns because he refuses to do his job.

davwain1 Frank Grimes - The Cult of Work | Renegade Cut via YouTube thesimpsons capitalism This will help you understand conservative ideologies. Really well done

Bugger off Ford, it’s just cases, deaths are down between 0-1 per day and they’re all with comorbidities, we cannot afford another shutdown ffs!!!

No shutdowns. SWEDEN is the model. They blasted through and are done. Shutdowns draw out the unavoidable agony. 99.7% survive rate does not warrant this. EFFECTIVELY EVERYONE LIVES. Case count doesn't matter. More test=more cases found. Death count does and we have few deaths.

And those flights coming domestically and internationally of course have nothing to do with it at all...please quit blaming young people, and under 40, its the grown ass adults that refuse to stop travelling and attend weddings, and events

Calm down.. it’s just cases. Will help us get to herd immunity

I`m wondering why we have to wear a mask in any closed space( even in our own buildings), and they don`t.

Masks dont work

(1) 'Infections?' Please, define more specifically. It is SARS2-CoV INFECTION not COVID-19 infection. COVID-19 is the disease process not everyone gets or its severity varies. What is the morbidity & mortality. Seek protection for those risk, leave others alone.
