That is awful and makes me angry.
However, are you sure the infection rate has spiked?
There are still only 1550 active cases in Ontario. That is up from a week ago but is that a spike? More importantly there are only 509 active cases in Toronto which is actually down from a week ago.
I think the spike is mostly in the Windsor-Essex area.
No spike with this one yet, but we won't know about that for 2 weeks anyway. Past incidents are what I was talking about. Even then I shouldn't really have referred to a spike because our local infection rates are just staying higher than they should. People here, in Brampton, can't seem to wrap their heads around the fact that if they don't behave in a reasonable manner, we're just going to keep getting stuck at Stage 2.
At this point I'm only leaving the house once, maybe twice a week if I need to do a stint at my job in Downtown T.O. and being fastidious about mask wearing, and hand washing/sanitizing. After having pneumonia 5 times in my life, my lungs are basically scar tissue, so I'm not taking any unnecessary chances.
