We are at the same stage when schools and other businesses reopened after wave 2. Then we ignored exponential growth of the UK variant in a background of declining cases. Now we appear ready to do the same- ignoring rise of B1.617.2-resistant to one dose immunity. Don’t do it.

Yes....Absolutely the same....except 2/3 of us (and growing) are vaccinated which prevents severe illness and death. But other than that....exactly the same.

Exactly. We are at the same juncture, with the same uncertainty. I am shocked that even a science table doesn't support a few more wks of restraint to prevent amplifying this virus, again.

Already some evidence for growing proportion of VOC case counts attributable to an unknown VOC.

And to make it worse we have no idea how many cases of this variant are in the community.

@bradwouters
it is as an exact replay. big difference now is vaccines (thank you
@JustinTrudeau
and
@VaxHuntersON
for getting jabs to people!) but the reality is single dose gives feeble protection and *many* parents are under 40 and have not been vaxxed at all

Absolutely DO NOT open anything other than schools further. Schools first and protect them by keeping community spread low. That's how it works and it is essential.

Except, we are headed into the summer, and more than half of us have one shot or more of the vaccine. So it's not the same, as the future from this point can be different.

Agree 100 percent. Sure hope Ford doesn't make same mistake as last time by opening too early. Keep schools closed. Then we might have a chance of businesses opening later in June and kids/ families might have a decent summer.

Why would we plan to open patios and in person shopping and casinos? Schools should open first when it’s safe but if it’s not safe for schools why is it safe for patios and in person shopping to start in two weeks?

Thank you for speaking up! There are many of us parents who desperately want GOOD mental health for EVERYONE including our own kids.. a good summer & safe return is what we desperately hope for.

Partially correct. When the province re-opened, vaccination rollout was just starting. It’s different now with 65% vaccinated (most of them pfizer which provides huge protection even with the first dose).

All on the back of a fabricated youth mental health crisis narrative to get kids back to school for three weeks in June. Scary shit. Hope this works out for us 👀

If schools open up next week we can see a spike in cases 2-3 weeks later. Does that mean that small businesses can open the week of June 14 just to be shut down a week later again? All that for the sake of schools to be open for 3 weeks?
