Ontari-ari-oh-oh......



What's going on with Covid in Ontario?  And of course, by that I mean Toronto.

As has been posted ad nauseum on this forum, Ontario's Covid cases are, and always have been, high in the Northwest corner of Toronto.  


So now let's look at where vaccinations are taking place.


Looks like areas with the lowest case rates are the highest for vaccinations. [click to zoom in.]


If the objective is to lower case rates, maybe they should be focusing on vaccinating the NW corner.

However, if the objective is to prevent deaths, maybe this is the right way to go, as I suspect a more elderly population downtown/midtown.  Don't know.

So why low vaccination rates in the NW;

  • Access to doses? 
  • Vaccinating seniors/medical staff first? 
  • Hesitancy in racialized communities? 
  • Deliberate withholding vaccinations in racialized neighbourhoods?  
  • Too busy working? 
Now these ae all reasons gleaned from US reports.  As they have the same disparity on vaccinations there.

So no easy answers.  Enough to drive you to drink.
