Oops, They Did It Again


Quebec, that is.  As miraculously predicted yesterday, Quebec finally realized they hadn't submitted any information for the last four days.  "Sacre bleu.  Pas encore?"

[Note: French translation:  "Crap!"]


[As always, click on any graph to zoom in.]

But that little blip yesterday was not only la belle province.

It had some help from Ontario.


But before you start wagging your finger at the Big Smoke, as Shaggy sings, it wasn't me. Or at least us.

But which region was it?

Here is a chart  from two weeks ago of regions in Ontario when the government was deciding who to let re-open. There were three repeat offenders.  And yes, Toronto was one of them.



So two weeks later, let's look at it again.


Yowza!  Windsor is on fire. Toronto doesn't even crack the top three.

And this is all due to outbreaks among migrant farm workers in the Windsor area.



Backbreaking work picking fruit and vegetables, all cheek to jowl, often housed in to over-crowed bunkhouses.  Fearful of reporting feeling sick, or missing work. And the cycle continues.

Hmmm.....does that that sounds familiar.  And it is.  I lifted that from last Friday a post about Florida outbreaks.  The six highest counties in Florida are inland farming areas.

That's not to say that those shotgunning beer bros aren't a problem.  But just not in tomato country.


Man, that's kind of freaky.  I'm not going to sleep tonight....

Good to have you back Jimmy Olsen! Your in depth reporting and humor is excellent in comparison to those boring Bob's at CNN/CTV/CBC. Your analysis of Florida is particularly inciteful. It would be great that, come the winter, you could be our Floridian inside man. That sense of humor of yours would definitely come in handy. Cause you're gonna need it down there! I 😉😉
