Waterloo region is still stable, but we have a +64% weekly trend at the provincial level!
Has there been any indication of provincial strategy recently? (I have been pretty much out of the loop for the past two weeks.) I see the vaccination of hospital workers and boosters for vulnerable populations, which make sense, but those seem like fiddling with the margins and I can't see them really reversing the trend we have been seeing for the past four weeks.
Provincial policy seems to be to hope and pray and hide. Like no kidding we didn't hear from them in weeks.
Just now they announced halting reopening and mandating vaccines for healthcare and long term care workers. Which is like..not enough and not even the minimum.
The Fed's have done more (vaccines mandatory for international and interprovincial travel--except by car, and vaccines for crown corp workers and federally regulated workers) and that's saying something.
