Ontario is now seeing an estimated 100,000 new COVID-19 infections a day

infections per day — the highest number of daily infections since the beginning of the pandemic — prompting experts to warn of increased hospitalizations in the coming weeks and calls for mandatory masking in essential businesses and schools.estimate that between 90,000 and 110,000 COVID infections are now happening every day in the province, with 30 out of Ontario’s 34 public health units showing exponential growth of new cases.

The record swell of cases will send a surge of people testing positive for COVID to hospitals, say experts, who warn the increase in hospitalizations combined with staffing shortages from workers off sick with the virus will again stress the health-care system. “We assumed a moderate change in behaviour, meaning a 30 per cent increase in contacts with half of all contacts made without masks if BA.2 became dominant,” Jüni said. “Now that BA.2 has become dominant, that’s not what we’re seeing. The behaviour change is much more dramatic and masks are being dropped like T-shirts on a beach.”

The last three weeks have also seen a steady rise in the number of reported outbreaks in vulnerable settings — one of the few metrics remaining in Ontario to gauge the pandemic. “What is always true, though, is that this virus disproportionately impacts vulnerable individuals and at-risk communities,” he said, speaking to the Star during a break from seeing patients on the COVID ward at Toronto General Hospital. “And it’s going to do that again this time around.”

“We are truly seeing a lot more cases of COVID these past few days. So much so that staffing is challenging once again,” Smith tweeted, adding that wearing masks, handwashing, distancing and getting vaccinated help curb the virus’s spread.

To some modules in a computer program because AS PROVEN BY CHRISTINE MASSEY - and ADMITTED ON LETTERHEAD BY EVERY PUBLIC HEALTH OUTLET IN CANADA - An isolated specimen of Covid that was derived from a living infected individual DOES NOT EXIST . Google her and Covid and hit images

Oh hey I found a thing worse than having to wear a mask for five seconds in the Beer Store

What is 'now seeing' an 'estimated' ? Sounds like leftist/liberal doublespeak.

what typa sorcery are you guys printing causing all sort of fuckery in the city...

Stop the madness, not more poison

Waste water readings. It’s getting far more ridiculous. The desperation is pathetic. Nobody cares anymore. The liars have been exposed.

Seems that their modleng is finally right down the crapper

I am one of these cases. I had a mild sore throat, headache, and developed a dry cough. I’ve suffered bowel movements worse. Dr. Juni needs an asylum.

Now your just making news up. This is a joke

And it's still cold ffs

Chill.

Good. A few weeks until everyone is done with it. It's as contagious as the measles. Hiding behind a porous, ten cent mask isn't a strategy.

This is unacceptable! Where is Dr. Moore? WearAMask COVIDisAirborne CovidIsNotOver FiredrKieranMoore VoteFordOut2022 resignlecce UnsafeSchools LecceFailedKids FordFailedKids NeverVoteConservative NeverVoteppc WhereIsDrmoore

Even if those numbers are true how many are ones like me that have trained hard their whole lifeare fit and havenever been sick just shrugged this virus off like I did last year. Spent ten days in isolation doing pushups, situps and shadow 🥊 boxing.Still waiting to feel symptoms

So wouldn't the entire population will have it in a couple of weeks then?

And no icu increase.

TV doctors need to keep their faces on tv. More fear mongering! Thats how they stay on cp24. I havent once heard the solution from these quacks nor what end game is. All they say is 'get vaccinated' but wont change their narrative..they fear you with case numbers. Pathetic.

News i could care less about

I thought they weren't testing any more, so how would anyone even know this?

complete garbage, no where near that number

😂😂😂😂😂

No estimate was ever close Hundred thousand new cases per day with our vaccine rate please give me a break

Meanwhile everyone is totally fine. Lol

I am confused - 100k cases but hospitalizations are around 1000 and 160 in ICU. Your estimates are totally incorrect ! Stop with this fear mongering

Gotta love the estimations that they have not been even close to for 2 straight years. But hey why not post it to push the fear

🧢 😂😂

And yet under 200 ICU cases... Maybe just maybe the vaccine is working .

pardon?

So by Peter Juni's math over the last 41 days pretty all of Ontario has/had covid. So WHY is everyone so bloody concerned? WTW

RadRoopa Well done fordnation VoteFordOut FireKieranMoore

I think it is 500 000.

Cases do not equal hospitalizations.... It's time to move on....

Should be over pretty quick then.

Estimated by one rando……

NagOnTheLake 'a little spike.' ~fordnation

foolford DougFord pretends it doesn't exist now as it interferes with his election. Wake up Ontario onpoli spaikin ChmlBillKelly CityCynthia Travisdhanraj

Thankfully, most of the cases will be mild thanks to the cutting edge vaccines. 💉🐀 PS. All quiet on the Western Front. 🍵

Only 100K...peak is still quite far. Don't worry fellow Canadians, it is okay to throw away our masks for now?!🤦‍♂️

It just kills your organization to see people enjoying their own unaffected lives, free of masks and intervention from the lockdown gestapo who pay your salary.

I call bullshit. At that rate, the entire province would be infected in 100 days. Enough with this garbage.

This one is definitely on the government but its our kids that will wear most of the damage. 70-80 years is a long time to live with persistent chronic impairment.

This isn't going to go away, and I'm not talking about a virus. No matter what wars or what extreme events are happening, you can bet the digital health pass will be pushed globally.

Makes sense with the wastewater signal. But still crickets from Public Health. This is criminal neglect VoteThemAllOut2022

New wastewater readings analyzed by the COVID-19 Science Advisory Table estimate that between 90,000 and 110,000 COVID infections are now happening every day in the province.

Omg 😳

We could call this the Ford Wave but of course we'd need to be more specific.

Nice!

I can’t believe they are now running with this and making it breaking news. No one people in Ontario can’t get over their fear hill

No

Ontario reports 1,091 COVID-19 hospitalizations, up nearly 40 per cent in a weekOntario reports 1,091 people in hospital with COVID-19, 173 COVID-19 patients in intensive care and six new deaths Oh well right fordnation gregbradyTO No wonder you deleted this. Most are not in hospital because of Covid - Hospitals have ramped up the backlog and naturally those admitted for a procedure test and hence these numbers - very misleading.
