Heeeeee's Baaaaaaack.....

 ...with some Covid stats.

But not many.

With Ontario considering further lockdowns, mainly because of Brampton & Toronto, let's look - again - at how effective lockdowns have been so far. [Cclick to enlarge.]



Now, this blog is constantly harping on how restaurants and bars and gyms and movie theatres are being shut down.  And - no change here - look at how well that has worked.

Maybe people in Toronto just don't are any more - Covid fatigue? 

Well, now it looks the rest of the province has been infected with the same attitude!


Windsor & Sarnia lead the parade.  Followed by Brampton, York Region & Niagara.

And for the last week, that festering sore that is Toronto has slid way down the list.  

And that "Lockdown target" (of 25 cases per week per 100,000 people) looks so lonely way down there at the bottom.

So maybe lockdowns need to go beyond bars & restaurants.  All they really do is drive people underground.  To basements?

What's needed - curfews....?

Remember back in the good ol' days - June 16th below - when just about only Windsor, Toronto and Brampton (Peel region) were consistently higher than the target....



Good times.....

But once the vaccine gets rolled out, pretty sure things will recover...... 


Pretty sure......

I researched the clear mask ... looks like a good idea. But because the bottom of the mask is open, it doesn't protect as well as a material mask against the skin. I remember eating out, and the waiter had a face shield (but no mask over the mouth) ... so whatever he spewed out came out the bottom where of course you're sitting in chairs at just the right height. Sigh... At $28 a mask though... tempting...
