Ontario tells companies to work remotely; schools go online
Ontario said it will once again force restaurants to close, shift schools to online learning and order companies to work from home as the government tries to prevent COVID-19 from overwhelming the hospital system.
“We’re bracing for impact,” Premier Doug Ford said at a news conference Monday. “The math isn’t on our side.”
The measures are meant to slow a spike in cases similar to the one affecting many regions of the U.S. Canada’s most populous province has more than 1,200 people in the hospital with the virus, including 248 in intensive care, though the number of serious cases is still well below the levels seen last May.
About 72 per cent of adult ICU beds in the province are occupied, according to government data.
Ford said the new restrictions are based on estimates that about one in 100 new cases results in hospitalization. “We could see hundreds of thousands of cases -- let’s be conservative, 100,000 cases or 200,000 cases. That’s a day,” Ford said. “That’s 1,000 people, 2,000 people showing up to hospitals. That’s not sustainable.”
As a result, his government will implement a new work-from-home order and impose stricter limits on indoor gatherings, including weddings and funerals. Gyms, theaters, concert venues and many other indoor businesses will have to close starting Jan. 5.
In addition, the province is delaying some non-urgent surgeries to prepare for what Ford called a “tsunami of new cases.”
“As we continue with our provincial vaccine booster efforts, we must look at every option to slow the spread of the highly-contagious omicron variant,” Ford said in a written statement Monday. He said the measures would be “time limited” and are tentatively scheduled to lift Jan. 26.
The shift to remote learning at schools begins Wednesday, when in-person classes had been scheduled to resume after the Christmas holiday. Classes will stay online until at least Jan. 17.
‘Devastating’
The Canadian Federation of Independent Business called the new restrictions a “devastating” way start to the year and called for more government aid for small firms dealing with restrictions.
“The supports are not even close to being enough to help businesses get through the next three weeks of lockdowns, which one assumes could easily be extended,” Chief Executive Officer Dan Kelly said in an interview. Many small businesses have been “weakened” by a pandemic that has now lasted almost two years, he said.
“There will be tens of thousands of businesses for whom this will be the sign to close up shop,” Kelly said.
Across Canada, provinces have attempted to blunt a wave of omicron infections. Quebec, the country’s second-largest province, has tried to curb infections with a curfew that began on New Year’s Eve. In British Columbia, bars and nightclubs were ordered to close and indoor gatherings “of any size” for events like weddings were prohibited. Alberta postponed the return to school after the holiday break.
“Additional time-limited measures are needed to help limit transmission as Team Ontario continues to get booster doses into arms,” Ontario Health Minister Christine Elliott said in a statement. Ontario has now delivered more than 3.7 million booster shots.Comment

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
Two new studies of a Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine booster showed promise against the omicron variant at a time when public health officials are urgently recommending booster shots against the fast-spreading variant.
One study was conducted in some 69,000 health care workers in South Africa. Results showed the vaccine reduced hospitalizations by 85% when comparing people who got two doses of the J&J vaccine to people who had a single dose.
Unlike Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, which require two initial doses before a booster six months later, Johnson & Johnson is a single shot that can be followed by a booster dose after at least two months for people 18 and older.
The booster study was done at a time when omicron was the dominant variant in South Africa.
"This data should reassure health care workers who have not taken their booster to get vaccinated as soon as possible," said Dr. Nicholas Crisp, the deputy director general of the South African National Department of Health.Comment

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
Let's get straight to the point: copier addict, SSG, bsm2, Biden and liberals are so full of shit.
I've had to endure you guys whining like little bitches about the unvaxed. You're full of shit.
Listen to this article
For months, President Biden has characterized the continued spread of the coronavirus as a "pandemic of the unvaccinated" and repeatedly claimed that vaccinated people cannot spread the virus, contradicting what his own Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been saying since at least April.
"This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated," the president told Ohio’s WHIO TV 7 on Dec. 14. "The unvaccinated. Not the vaccinated, the unvaccinated. That’s the problem. Everybody talks about freedom and not to have a shot or have a test. Well guess what? How about patriotism? How about making sure that you’re vaccinated, so you do not spread the disease to anyone else."
But the CDC has been warning about breakthrough COVID-19 infections for the better part of 2021, issuing an update in April that said, "People can still get sick and possibly spread COVID-19 to others after being fully vaccinated."
During the outbreak of the delta variant over the summer, the CDC updated its guidance for fully vaccinated people, saying they should wear masks in crowded indoor areas because of the high transmissibility of the variant. While the COVID-19 vaccines can prevent severe illness, hospitalizations and death, breakthrough infections still can and do occur, the CDC said.
"Infections in fully vaccinated people (breakthrough infections) happen in only a small proportion of people who are fully vaccinated, even with the Delta variant," the July 27 guidance said. "However, preliminary evidence suggests that fully vaccinated people who do become infected with the Delta variant can be infectious and can spread the virus to others."
The same is true, or maybe even more so, with the new omicron variant, which is even more transmissible than the delta variant. An ABC News analysis last month of federal and state data revealed that there has been an acceleration of the number of breakthrough coronavirus cases since July.
"CDC expects that anyone with Omicron infection can spread the virus to others, even if they are vaccinated or don’t have symptoms," the CDC said Dec. 20.
Despite the agency clearly stating since at least April that the virus can spread among vaccinated individuals, Biden has repeatedly tried to assign blame to unvaccinated people for the ongoing pandemic.
