Last Updated Saturday, September 19, 2020 11:11AM EDTTORONTO -- Ontario has capped social gathering sizes for the entire province amid a surge in COVID-19 cases.
"The alarm bells are ringing," Ford said Saturday morning. "We need to take decisive action like we did in the early stages of COVID-19." Ford clarified that the restrictions do not apply to events or gatherings held in "staffed businesses" or facilities such as movie theatres, banquet halls, gyms or convention centres.
This is crazy. Young people don’t get as sick. So they are not taking up hospital beds. We need some heard immunity or we will never get through this. Lock down forever? fordnation
The government need to STOP being alarmist. fordnation deal with the cases as they pop up. “No increase hospitalizations”says Dr. Tam “ even though cases are on the rise among younger people” so why the new measures?
Why are numbers being slashed where there are no outbreaks. This is dumb.
Lets see how the professional health care workers do it.
Only a 1 idiot would send school children back to school with cheap cloth maks and no mask protocol instructions. This is what you do if you actually gave a sh*t about people.
Doug Ford has betrayed Ontario. Ontario has gone 14 days with ZERO covid_19 deaths ZERO! Other deaths in Ontario in those 14 days: From All causes : 720 Seniors with all comorbidity : 340 Suicides : 15 Covid19: 0 Wake up people!
Nazi
Name one person under the age of 18 who has died of this?
Hey fordnation - lockdown the seniors’ homes/residents and make it mandatory for them to wear a mask..the rest of us will be fine without
ArrestDougFordAndJustineTrudeauforCrimesAgainstHumanity
It’s all BULLSHIT!!! If we go back to Phase 2 or 1, can we stop wearing masks? We didn’t need them previously!!!
Yah right! This covid shit is getting boring! People survive from this! It just another flu!
Bullshite Socialist hoax....
Asymptomatic people don’t spread the virus....herd immunity is to be striven for folks...stop drinking the kool aid
DictatorDoug
They’ve gone to the same Kool-Aid Trump is using/unbelievable!
You are lying to the Canadian people shame on you.
Not sure why this wasn’t done all at the same time. Or why were these amounts even allowed in the first place
This is absolutely fucking ubsurd.
Russell I voted for Ford. I am finished with Ford. I can't stand the language he uses to divide us. He has gone after young people. Shamed youths into believing they are killing their grandparents. Unmonitored social events, wtf , we have to be monitored? .
ALARM BELLS SHOULD BE RINGING ALRIGHT....this should be your wake up call Ontarians! This is total BS! This is again a CONTROL grab. We need to stand up before it's too late!
Hmm, I wonder why?
Serious question - why are restaurant weddings allowed? Seems like a catch 22 to allow larger gatherings so long as someone can profit from it.
Meanwhile in Quebec u need to sign a register when u go to a bar full of ppl who have not been respecting any rules. Obviously with fake names.
I applaud Mr. Ford for getting tough with COVID-19 non-compliant people.
983FLYFM Thanks to all those arseholes who haven’t listened to what we were supposed be doing and cause this. You have no idea the impact you have on everyone else. 😡arseholes
Research multiple search engines. Don’t rely on big media for your information. See the numbers for yourself. THIS ISNT ABOUT YOUR HEALTH! This is about control, globalism, NWO. Our freedom depends on you waking up! Trust what you see, not what they tell you.
Buncha Nazis
But our kids are safe in school!
Bye bye mask. Since it’s not working...
scottbetter1
why are rural communities being pushed into another lockdown. We haven't had a case in the hospital around here in months. So 3 couples getting together with their kids is now a finable offence? coocoo.
People of Ontario; they WILL try & push a second lockdown. We have to FIGHT back. RESIST. Do NOT comply or obey. This virus has an over 99% survival rate for the majority of the population. People will lose their business & jobs, which will affect entire families for generations.
Not for me lol I’m not being told what I can or can not do anymore!!! Fine me lol they’ll never see a dime and I’ll sue the gov. Put my ass in jail. Who cares. Been there and done that yrs ago. It’ll be a vacation to fatten me up 😂🖕🏻
It’s not just gatherings It’s also all the flights coming in as well from certain high numbered cases and are not self isolating!!
Spike in false positives.
That makes zero sense. Class sizes are huge. Other venues have more than 10 indoors as well.
Disgusting! My son is gettimg married next week and the bride is devastated. Plans changed once before. Now again. Enough already!! People's mental health are tired and that is taking a toll on the health care system.
WheeldonRon If she can do it So can you ripcoco
Question: How does covid distinguish between events/gatherings held in private settings/parks vs those held in churches, gyms, staffed locations? 🤷♀️
Wow just wow! This is a joke!
It's very simple. If enough of you are outraged at these rules ....ignore them. They can't fine everyone.
And when you go back to normal the virus will be there waiting for you. These lockdowns have not worked anywhere. There is no second wave it’s just a continuation of the first and only wave. Either it burns through society or you develop a vaccine. There are no half measures.
Unless you’re in a classroom 🙄 apparently covid doesn’t affect students and educators. They must be immune, if you’re telling them not to self isolate when there’s a case in their class. What a pathetic excuse for a government. lowerclasssizes unsafeseptember
Tyranny
10 people indoors? What about classrooms? Can't understand why any jurisdiction is in such a hurry with reopening schools while the pandemic numbers keep rising.❤️✌️🇨🇦
Does this include class sizes as well? Last I remember school is considered an indoor space?
I prefer the Quebec model of colour coding regions. It actually rewards communities where the residents have been vigilant in protecting themselves from Covid19. Those towns are now paying the price of the selfish behaviour of some idiots in and around the GTA.
You guys can still have Thanksgiving. Don't let our govt dictate our peacefulgatherings! It's called freedom standup for your humanrights
Maybe stop international flights coming in and out of Canada
How TF do you do this with zero warning. Effective immediately on a Saturday morning? There are events already going on, that were within the rules.
He should stop parties for his family and close friends too. Don't give restrictions to the rest of the population and excludes himself and surrounding friends.
I live on a area that has zero cases. Why would we be shut down? Complete stupidity on the part of the government. This should be regional and only the areas that are effected. I use to support but now no longer.
And restaurants, where it’s up to the establishment to decide how many people can safely be inside. Because that should be left up to business owners who want to see profit...
If you haven't figured out by now that this is a scamdemic, I've lost all hope for you!
4UWell Those damn bells should have been ringing a lot earlier. It's called foresight.
Limiting to 10..except schools,bars,restaurants,etc Kudos to Ford,in effect you’ve managed to convince the idiots in Ontario you can mandate a pissing section in a pool
What's about 'protests'?
Reasonable 10 inside your home and 25 outside...we in Northwestern Ontario have done excellent these past 6 months and if we end in a lockdown because of irresponsible people that will not be fair with holidays coming...especially for parents and grandparents....DO THE PROTOCOL🙏
Stop with the fearmongering.
Show your work!! Show us the data! Prove it!!
Better to be ahead of the curve than behind it.. we all know how the liberals were late to the game and Trump wasn't even in the game..
Lol. All the cases in southern Ontario.
This is ridiculous, 1 active case in Chatham Kent, yes, the whole county.
You are reacting after the fact. Get ahead of it to control it.
Good
Corrupt Media/power hungry politicians/greased up public service unions all screaming rabidly to shut things down. None will suffer the economic consequences for this Evil Scam. Beyond Loathsome.
This is not breaking news..the 'second wave'/lock down has been planned for months..the playbook has been exposed..scamdemic2020
Is he mental, northern Ontario has no cases.
Except for schools! Oh ... private gatherings! Got ya ... doesn’t matter if it’s private or public. Schools will become the next hot spot Dougie ... it’s started already! Let’s jam 25-30 kids in a class with a smaller distancing protocol! Brilliant!
Lol what about school? Oh yeah that's fords covid test dummy's..
I wonder if fordnation will be changing his own Thanksgiving plans now? My guess is he, like Trudeau and all the rest, will carry on seeing his family and friends. The ruling classes lifestyle won’t be impacted by this.
There are 0 COVID19 deaths yet fordnation is implementing his unconstitutional and illegal rule limiting family gatherings. Pure evil. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
But classrooms are ok to be in the 20’s...cool 👍 onpoli FireLecce fordnation Sflecce
25 outdoors is still too much IMO. If people were being responsible outside, sure - but they aren’t.
Possible fine of $10000. Yikes.
DefundPoliticians
Classrooms with 23-24 students aren’t considered as indoor gathering?!
