Speaking at a vaccination clinic at Cloverdale Mall, Dr. Eileen de Villa, the city's medical officer of health, said Toronto continues to see a "steep rise" of influenza activity.
De Villa said there are already tools available for residents so that they could celebrate the holidays safely. "So as we interact with others in our community over the holiday season, and especially when we're indoors with people who we don't live with -- people outside of our household -- our risk of encountering respiratory viruses increase. So I ask all residents to do their part to contribute to a healthier holiday season."
Meanwhile, de Villa noted that half of the influenza cases this year are among those below 19 years old, which is why she reiterated the importance of getting their flu shots.
NOOOOOOBODY CARES WHAT T.O s TOP DOC HAS TO SAY !!! WELCOME TO WINTER EVERYONE...PPL GET SICK THIS TIME OF YEAR !!!
I've been living in Eastern Europe for two years now to get away from Canada's crazy hysteria regarding covid, I can tell you firmly your media, and politicians are conning you. BIG TIME
But is it ok to party at a big gathering with no mask like Dr Moore did & John Tory did
from south of the border your government looks like ridiculous group of corrupt, incompetent clowns controlled by a dictator, intent on beating your citizens into submission, i suspect you are corrupt as well, shame on all of you dummies up there
Why are we still paying these people?
JustinTrudeau and your liberal goons have lost credibility
Influenza is nothing new. Scaring the public unnecessary is ridiculous.
DoNotComply They hate you. Never Forgive, Never Forget. Never let it happen again.
“Top” doctor who hasn’t practiced medicine in decades and is married to a pharmaceutical man. Yea.
She says this while not wearing a mask.
My fellow Canadians, leave the country. Leave. It's not worth arguing with these people. The government is hell bent on implementing feudalism and turning you into a serf. They're using covid and 'global warming,' as a guide to do so. Don't argue. Just leave!
November: OMG RSV! Wear a mask! December: OMG flu! Wear a mask! January probably: OMG covid! Wear a mask! February…? What. A. Joke.
PTSDTrainer Bahahahaha!!!!
This is the first time I’m hearing this…
Are we still flattening that curve?
3 years in and this really needs to stop!!
Yea, I’m pretty sure she & her husband, own financial interests in vaccines.
Recommendations are worthless at this stage.
One minute it is on the rise then it is levelling out and slowly dropping and then all of a sudden just before family get togethers bingo on the rise again. Where are they getting these numbers from?
I have had flu for almost 3 weeks now this is unprecedented. If I get flu it takes 3 days to go but this time I am in my third week
God knows. Why are there no over the counter medicien for children. IN 2022 techinoligy should never HAVE to come to this problem. This is the problem not the flu which we had ever year.
Flu shot, less than 30% effective on average and 6 weeks to kick in… if it does. So no.
Also keep your thumb up your ass prevents it too I heard
The lack of directives and direction are enabling illness in all! Shame!
Nope.
She can take as many booster if she wants.😏
epdevilla needs to be fired ASAP
We don’t give two shits about her advice. Her advice caused my friend’s daughter to be in sick kids with a heart condition from the clot shot.
