I want to send a gift to the testing site who said they wouldn’t test her.

I would contribute to that!
ETA:
Owens replied to critics, writing, “I very much believe in the freedom to choose. Just pointing out the great irony that when the ‘health employees’ begin choosing who is allowed to determine if they have covid — we are no longer in a public health crisis. Admit it. Covid is political.”
BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE YOU MADE IT HAPPEN!

Seeing an alarming trend here, with a significant proportion of our positive tests coming among kids under 12 mos of age who are overtly sympomatic. The reassurance that “kids don’t develop much in the way of symptoms” is breaking down in a big way. Not liking this at all.

Health care is political, Candace?

Here’s the main page from what the Ontario 
Science Table advisors presented yesterday as a projection on our COVID case rates.:
That modelling is frustratingly vague, IMO, but I suspect there’s frustration within the committee itself at the watered down message in the presentation. The full report by the Science Table, dated September 1st, is very thin on details, in particular, what specific measures achieved what results. A 25% increase in contact rates might as well be a given with schools opening; a 25% decrease, on the other hand, is not likely without strict lock-down measures aimed at generously overshooting the mark.
I can’t see a “please reduce your circle of contacts by 25%” message having any effect. 
Frankly, with Premier Doug Ford’s anti-vax daughter, anti-lockdown wife and his being “99% sure” in July that stricter measures won’t be needed, I dread to think of the kind of pressure that had to be brought to bear to produce yesterday’s half-a**ed vaccine passport policy (BYO paper doctor’s note starting Sep 22 and real app-based passports late October).
I think I’m starting to see some of what might have prompted Dr. David Fisman’s resignation from the Science Table.

I get it, but also wonder if refusing to test someone who has COVID symptoms might be making the situation worse. Refusing to treat, I get, but refusing to test just puts more people at risk. Not that CO would do anything helpful like isolate or mask up if she was positive, but at least if she passed it to others they could sue her ass for knowingly exposing them if she had already tested positive.

It did give me an eyebrow raise. Reading that letter was some real catharsis though. Just glad to see someone “take off the gloves.”
Do lawsuits even work anymore? I hear so much about people filing suits but never about villains being thrust into bankruptcy from them. How many lawsuits does that half-dead asshole Trump still have pending?
The headline would read “Candace Owens sued for $80M for spreading corona” and then three years later “Inside Candace Owens’ New Yacht” or whatever. argh /vent

Lightweight. He just needs to take more ivermectin. If he takes enough the apparent severity of his COVID symptoms will decrease. I mean, what’s a little difficulty breathing, when you could do it while blind and literally shitting out your intestines? May he recover quickly from this, and from being a fascist.

Good data-driven article on the issues we’re having with the roll-out of vaccines to younger people, which is concerning as we’re going through a second awful delta spike in cases at the moment.
But there’s still no plan to roll this out to the 12-15 age group, despite what we’re seeing abroad.
