The peer pressure *not* to mask is real but so is the positive reinforcement of seeing other people masked.

20% of people using foodbanks are receiving a salary. That means in many cases, foodbanks are subsidizing employers who refuse to pay wages people can live on. This should not be legal.

In 2018 Doug Ford promised he wouldn't touch rent control. He lied. Now he has the audacity to blame renters for his failure to build housing and make life affordable for the people of Ontario.

The COVID-19 Resources Canada Data Discussion on August 12 will be a presentation by me on my ever evolving Forecast model. I’ll present an overview, description of challenges arising with current data sources, and leave time for Q & A.

Apologies once again... We hoped to have a forecast out, if not Monday, then by mid-week, but unfortunately no massaging of the model would get it to a reliable iteration. I'm running it from scratch again, if all goes well, we will have the forecast out next Monday, June 30th. 🤞

Deepest apologies again. Due to technical difficulties, the forecasts have been delayed. Recalibrations have been happening that should be completed this weekend. We plan to post the next forecast Monday, June 23, 2025.

I'll be presenting at the "COVID-19 Resources Canada" virtual journal club tonight at 8:pm. I'm going to be jumping around a lot of topics, including going over some of the measles stats I posted earlier this week. To join, register here: us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

COVID-19 Resources Canada is very excited to welcome Dr. Raywat Deonandan as our guest speaker tonight at 8 pm Eastern! Dr. Deonandan is an Global Health Epidemiologist and Associate Professor. Full information and registration here: covid19resources.ca/event/scienc...
