A month ago, Ford theatrically said “when you see the [new] modelling, you’ll fall off your chair.” Those numbers projected that Ontario could hit 20,000 cases per day by mid-February and the headline writers were happy to oblige.
Instead, Ontario had actually peaked right when those projections were made, and we’ve seen a precipitous decline such that on Monday there were only 1,265 cases.
Ontario officials would like to claim that they are our valiant saviours and the lockdown was their effective weapon of choice. Maybe.
But they also have no good explanation as to why our downward curve is very similar to that of other jurisdictions, including places not under lockdown such as Florida.
