Hallelujah! Covid cases going down!

Good news, Ontario! Our case numbers are going down, down, down!

It’s almost safe to open up the schools and the hardware stores! Golf courses got the green light just a few days ago. Happy days are almost here again!

(BTW, apparently Ontario was the only jurisdiction in the world that closed golf courses. Obviously our experts are a cut above the run-of-the-mill experts found elsewhere…)

To what do we owe our reversal of fortune?

Vaccines! Thank God for those super-duper miracles of science! What else could be at work? 

I can think of one thing; Ontario has quietly tapered the number of daily covid tests administered. Ontario is quite transparent about our pandemic data. I have no idea why our news media generally don’t report on testing numbers; perhaps they fear such honesty would interfere with their over-arching mission of keeping the populace scared shitless.

Back in January, Ontario was routinely doing 60-70,000 tests per day. For the past week the average is under 30,000 per day. It doesn’t take an “expert” to figure out less testing will result in fewer cases.

Journalistic malfeasance at its finest!
