Well it looks like we are at the case/case &/or cluster stage now in Canada, those that have been listening to Chris at Peak Prosperity know that this means later stages of single cases and starting clusters. So only the multi-clusters stage, then the boom.... numbers definitely climbing, we are past the 300 mark now (with decent amounts of testing at least in AB). Sun - Ontario hit 101, AB hit 56 including 2 community spread (from 29 late Friday) new cases everywhere, number of provinces without it rapidly declining and the provincial governments are ramping up the 'slow it down' steps. Federal government still seems to be talking - not doing... 'talking' about closing border to US - no mention of stopping people flying in though, talking 'mandatory' 14 day self isolation for returning travelers etc - I fear, all a day (many days!) late and a dollar short - but that's just me. Here are a few headlines from Canadian sources. BC: Limiting testing (see article under ON) and this is Sat update but latest I could find: https://globalnews.ca/news/6677701/bc-coronavirus-update-march-14/ AB: Closes schools & daycares, Calgary declares local state of emergency: SK: A few more cases, not doing much to prevent spread there yet(?) schools open, biz as usual Manitoba: Opening specialized testing 'drop in' centers https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/manitoba-covid-19-coronavirus-update-1.5498470 Ontario: taking a different angle on testing, symptomatic and non-travelers only, so hunting for community spread, and general info: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/coronavirus-covid-19-panic-buying-stockpiling-1.5496381 https://globalnews.ca/news/6679348/quebec-coronavirus-march-15/ NB: Had first case over weekend - premier & team seem to be on top of this, limiting groups etc before first case announced: NS: First 3 cases https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-nova-scotia-says-it-has-first-three-presumptive-cases-of-coronavirus/ https://globalnews.ca/news/6678476/newfoundland-and-labrador-coronavirus/ I can't find anything on the territories as far as positive cases - but they are taking action and preparing for this as limited medical resources especially in far north. |
