This number was to low to instil fear in the masses and wasn't even mentioned for months in the daily Covid updates. But people, like myself started to catch on by looking at the raw data from Health Ontario.
So they stopped testing everyone and limited it to testing only people with symptoms. Naturally the amount of test conducted dropped to about 6,000 a day. AND not surprisingly, the positivity rate jumped to 5% -6% . The media jumped on that number and politicians where happy to use it to implemented further restrictions...crippling the economy further.
