This should had happened last week when he announced closing the non-essential stores. Politician being reactive again. Oh boy.

some grocery stores are a problem too, not enough enforcement of distancing and they're still letting families/couples in. Sorry to say but it needs to be one at a time. I went 2 days ago and it was way too fuckin busy mid day.
Are we expecting even grocery stores/pharmacies to be locked down? I'm probably going to need to relocate to my parents' in that event. I don't have nearly enough of a long-term food stockpile in my tiny apartment.
No, those are gonna be the only things open based on the rumor. Actual essential places, and not tile or candle stores that are still open. And just more stricter guidelines for going out and severe fines.
Again, dont do anything until its actually announced. As I said my friend who works at a med research lab said that the boss implied it but nothing 100% yet. We will know tomorrow.
no that won't happen, hasn't even happened in places like Italy. Would be literal chaos on the streets and mayhem
BC update:
+55 cases
+6 deaths 😔 (3 from care facilities in Vancouver, 1 Fraser Health, 2 on the Island)
-641 all together recovered
-149 hospitalized
-68 in ICU
-an inmate at Okanagan Correctional Centre has tested positive, so they are gearing up for an outbreak there :S

Sorry for double post, but to be clear these rumors are based on talks happening behind the scenes with Ford. The talks themselves I 100% believe, but those dont matter. Tory and the health minister, constructions association and others have already asked Ford publicly to close things down and more stricter guileless.
It all comes down to how much Ford actually listens and enacts them, which is the scary part.

I wonder if Ford is basically wishing for this to happen so a year from now he can say " oh I didn't cause your business to lose money, it was Trudeau that forced a shutdown!!"
Probably why Trudeau isn't using it. He knows that the Conservative base will be yelling at him.
They can yell and scream and call it a power grab.
I'm sure Premiers will be pissed to lose power as well.
Sadly the only chance might be if things do get really bad and Trudeau would be justified to use it in the court of public opinion.
The Star literally reported yesterday that Ford will be closing more businesses soon so it's not really a rumour. We also know there will be projections tomorrow for Ontario similar to what the U.S. just got and of course it will have a best case and a worst case scenario so we can expect these further closing to be on heels of that.
Oh, didnt know about the Star article.
and Im only being hesitant because Ford has been stalling so far, and I dont have much confidence in him. He hyped up the business closure essential list so much initially and look what we got.
I don't like Ford but I disagree that he has been stalling. Ontario has been doing rather well considering we have most of Canada living here. The only criticism I have overall about Canada's response was that we allowed air travel for FAR too long and that unfortunately is on Trudeau. I can't bellyache about that though because really only SK did everything right. Some of course did horrible like Trump and Boris. Japan is also looking rough in thier response.
It's mostly the Liberty Village types that seem to be ignoring the recommendations from what I've seen.
Those Canada numbers look promising, but I don't know how accurate the Japan numbers are, especially now that the Olympics have been postponed.
Abe is getting roasted on social media for his two masks for everybody proposal.
Anyway it's a long thread, be sure to read through it.
Didnt John Horgan say he was giving everyone in B.C 1000$ tax free? Yippie?
My warehouse is still open. The amount of "essential" stuff I can count on 1 finger. And even then, I wouldn't count it essential.
But we're still open. Its stupid.
Too much is "essential".
Just got word that my workplace will continue closure until May 1st and I will continue to be paid. Phew.
There's more information around now for those interested in donating or supplying needed PPE, sanitizer etc. Check for details about what can be accepted (mask types, sanitizer formulations).
For the Public:
SafeCareBC Operation Protect (Vancouver area)
Island Health - how to support covid 19 response (Vancouver Island)
For Suppliers:
Provincial Procurement Hub for COVID-19 Response (BC)
Any additional info people have about how to help across Canada would be great to share.

Man grocery stores are really not equipped for online delivery. I'm hearing 2 days delays in usa threads where it's more like 2-3 weeks here.
Yep. We put in an order two and a half weeks ago, and it ostensibly comes tomorrow (Friday). Even then, I'm expecting.. fifty per cent of the items to actually arrive, even with substitutions? If it's any more, I'll be pleasantly surprised!
Hang in there.
Just got an official corporate letterhead tonight to carry around with me in Toronto that states I am essential services worker (grocery) in case the police stop me to ask me what my business is being outside haha.
I'm happy things are getting real serious finally.
Stay strong and vigilant, everyone!

Alberta just gave all of it's money to TransCanada, that's good enough for us!

WHAT. THE. FUCK.
Dougie and the cons are going to release numbers today and I was telling my gf, it wouldn't surprise me if the numbers they give us show Ontario like with 1000 or more more cases than what Quebec is reporting. It never made sense that we had less cases when we have a larger population and the cons didn't start off taking it seriously enough
All these journalist fawning over Ford and stating this "is the moment he became Premier of Ontario" are going to end up looking really stupid today if that's the case.
The GTA might be the new epicentre if Ford doesn't get a handle on this.
We did one 2 weeks ago and Walmart just cancelled it hours before we were supposed to get it.
Makes me sick he's getting praise.
He will probably blame Trudeau if it gets bad.
You've all got this stuff wrong. There isn't going to be some real Ontario number they've been hiding for days released today.
They will just be showing the projections they've been using to the public. Both a bad and a good one. Stop spreading misinformation that Ontario is hiding numbers or something and read articles fully.
Trudeau is going to release the Canada wide projections as well.
There is no hidden data being released today. It's just models.

It's good to see we're not at this many cases as of April 3rd. While I don't go outside, I'm still very scared and being immunocompromised doesn't help it.Don't have that public yet, but Premier Legault just said that even in the most pessimistic scenario we have, there's enough ventilators. So I guess there's a silver lining I guess.
In the projection that was shared with the press about 2-3 weeks ago, we were supposed to be at about 10k confirmed cases by now, with 16k cases as soon as early next week. We'll see what happens but so far it's lower. IIRC it seemed to peak and flatten on April 18-19th about.
This is the graph that was shared to the media on march 16th
This.
Anxiety conspiracies get people nowhere, and honestly unless you're studying pandemics or viruses or anything related to this and how it spreads, Day to day numbers do not matter.

Ford compared Ontario situation to Italy using a very serious tone. Which doesn't make sense, because even Québec is far from the Italy situation. How can Ontario projections be so bad if the publicly released numbers are somewhat good ?

I did some very limited stats yesterday based off of new articles. While Quebec has the most confirmed cases the % of hospitalisations, ICU and deaths is far lower than BC and Ontario.
Even then the numbers are nowhere near Italy levels
Hm, I wonder if I should contact my company for something like that. I do carry my security licence, wonder if that would be enough proof I'm working as essential security. I can't afford a 5k fine.
An update, all but one of them were informed they were positive before receiving the wrong info in the results letter.16 Peel Region residents given negative coronavirus test results despite being positive | Globalnews.ca

Lots of people, including public health officials, have acknowledged that the official numbers are likely undercounting. The Toronto head of public health said they had a number of deaths that are not in the official count yet because they haven't been confirmed, but are very likely to be COVID-19 cases. Also, what does it mean to be "far from the Italy situation"? If you're just looking at static numbers, that doesn't matter; the rate of acceleration is the important one, as it will indicate how quickly our healthcare systems will be overwhelmed. The Financial Times shows that Canada is where Italy was about a month ago in terms of daily deaths. Based on the graph we could be in the Italy situation right now.

Like seriously. That fucker is like the worst broken record on repeat ever. Should be thrown in jail if possible.
Not even delivery, click and collect at my local superstore has a 10 day wait currently. I was hoping to avoid it but I'm going to have to do a costco run today.
It's annoying in normal times but in a global pandemic and crisis, it should be the least of his worries. Focus on what is actually important.
