Big, big number again today. 

I bet some of it is due to a backlog but I'm hearing over 900. I really hope my sources are wrong. 

So far, the school closure hasn't happened, so my sources were incorrect there. Although, I suspect that was the recommendation, which may have been disregarded.

We still need a facepalm reaction. 

 

But, I can kind of understand it. They don't want to lose any productions.

And the Pallister government still has not hired back all the nurses they laid off over the past few years. Nurses and housekeeping staff have been forced to work part-time at several different places to survive, making the transmission of infections almost inevitable.

Hate to say but we will continue to see these numbers for a while they waited to long to go to red and the virus took hold of the long term care facilities, Got into hospitals, unfortunately many more will die and if people don’t adhere to the lockdown the virus will continue to have a high number of cases

I was clearly wrong about the number. Sorry, if it caused anyone concern. Last time I heard from the same source it was the first time we had over 400 and they were correct. 

It's still ridiculously high but not double what we see.

A slight adjustment to the school calendar today - the 3 PD days that had been removed were added again - two before Christmas & one after Christmas.  So, at least there'll be less traffic in schools on those days.
