Glad that all you Doctors on here NO WHAT'S GOING ON..

please wear a mask when you go out. stop the spreading as much as possible. if you need mask, email cv192020hotmail.con COVID19

Probably more to do with the Easter weekend closures

494 new cases BUT almost half are from long term care as indicated today by Dr. Williams. So in the 'community' we've apparently dropped from upper 400s a few weeks ago to the mid 200s now. THIS IS GOOD.

How many of these deaths are actually because of Covid 19... that's a graph I am interested in seeing

Ppl need to relax ... more people get more are immune.. most of the severe cases and deaths sadly are in LTC homes .. if we reopen the economy we must quarantine and isolate the LTC homes and tell the vulnerable to stay home

100% satisfaction guaranteed ✅

All this amid talks of restarting economy. toosoon COVID19 onpoli

Disturbed by the data about ages of the dead. It's like it's ok: the people dying were old anyway. 🙁

I think the data would be far more useful if they backdated the new cases to the day their test was taken. Some results showing this week are 10 days old and since they are speeding up results reporting, the numbers are stacking on one day.

Alot of people are doing what is asked of them. The problem is alot are not still.

So is SelfIsolation not working I’ve been home for 33 fucking days ,,all I read is death death death ,,not one fucking positive report ever

Unfortunately, this is not shocking to me. I could not believe the amount of people out last Thursday doing their grocery shopping for Easter.

Informed CTV News followers 😏

They said it was going to be a tough week for our numbers. It’s only Wednesday, God help us.

Graphs for Ontario 📈:

Where is the peak ? Are we doing something wrong. I have only left the house for groceries in the past month. Oh yeah and to go fishing alone from shore alone.

Looks like Ontario was just behind Quebec in growth. Too bad. It would have been nice for this to not be the reality.

Quebec reports 75 new COVID-19 deaths as confirmed cases top 14,000The number of people in Quebec who have recovered from COVID-19 as of Tuesday was 2,146 up 164 from the 1,982 recoveries reported Monday. Well you know Quebec thinks they are far more superior than anyone else and look. FAIL!! using soldiers as personal care workers in aged homes is much like asking a bull to give milk but more importantly it is a national embarrassment. Is this how Canadians want our next generation to see themselves, afraid, reliant on our army to care for us because we are afraid? What the hell is happening in this province
