I don’t know whether to feel sorry for Ontarians who have been put under house arrest for the good of the health care system and octogenarians everywhere, or for the incompetent tyrants who are running the province and who are about to get their comeuppance.
On Tuesday, the doctors advising Premier Ford said that another turn of the screw was necessary because there might be as many as 20,000 cases per day by February 14th. Keep that in mind, it’s this or 20,000 cases per day.
The problem is that the latest surge seems to have peaked. Case count fell over the weekend, and on the day of the announcement the daily count fell below 3000. It was again below 3000 the day after, i.e. today. This will be the second time the doctor-modellers grossly overestimated future case numbers in order to justify lockdown measures. The last time was November 12th, when they forecasted 6500 cases per day by December 15th, and got barely to a third of that. Ontario still has yet to reach two-thirds of that projection even now, and the numbers appear on the decline.
The most painful part of this for Ontarians
ought to be that you get the government you deserve.
