Welcome to lockdown Ontario.

Yea he mentioned Ride type stops the moment they leave Federal Property..rather pointless if 400 passengers come off the flight and they are not committed to screening them and then sending the positive ones to a quarantine center.

The feds should refuse entry of any non-Canadians. Test the one that are and quarantine them...if they were really serious about 'flattening the curve'....of course they aren't and never were. Easier to let them head to our city centres and let the province deal with it.

Doug: "So Dear, we are placing all of Ontario into a mandatory lockdown effective December 24th 12:01 am"

Wife: " What do you mean? What about the kids coming over for Christmas dinner? How are they going to get past the reporters parked at the door?
You idiot! No sex for you in the next 28 days"

Doug: "Alright, alright! I will make it the 26th instead. Happy now?"

.....and so Christmas was celebrated at the Ford residence and the Grinch stayed away for another year.

Isn't Toronto (where he lives) already in lockdown?

I think he’s Mississauga.

One possible explanation is coming out. That mutation might be in Windsor.

I still think it should just be a radius outside. Where we are we’re close enough that’s there’s a lot of to/from.

28 days will kill people given for many it’s already been a brutal year.

Problem for me. Is if that’s what 80% want and Ford want. Than man up, sacrifice as well. Join the SS were all in “the same boat”

Southern Ont 28 days....

Never thought of Ottawa being southern Ontario.
Looks like Southern Ontario is "South of Sudbury".

Again, what we're told is the shutdown is to avoid overwhelming hospitals and the healthcare system.

Was the "second wave" a surprise or something? They've been projecting the impending doom and gloom of the second wave for months, yet we've done nothing to bolster hospital/ICU space? Wouldn't something as simple as a couple of extra ICU beds per hospital and the supporting staff have been enough to avoid this again?

They did they said they added 1500 hundreds beds spent billions more that they would have on any other year.

But honestly only 1500 extra beds for over 14 million people in Ontario is silly.

What is even more silly they are going to cancel other problems to deal with covid . I have said it before but covid should not done at our local hospital I'm sure there are plenty of other options to avoid the other health crisis we have.

Ps
The number of beds they gave Ontario is barley enough to fix the over crowded hospital that's been an issue for years. Never mind a second wave .

If we added 1500 ICU beds why are we shutting down because nearly 300 of them are full?

Not really asking you, but you know what I mean...

Keep in mind that a bed requires staff either x3 RN's (8hrs shifts) every days) or x2 RNs (12 hrs shift) every days. Plus support staff and Dr's etc etc... 'A' bed is very expensive...estimate about $2K a day...(what they charge an out of province patient.)

edit add: that's a normal ward bed...the ICU beds are more..a $million a year is conservative
