A 36 year old man from Toronto who experienced a medical episode is alive because of the heroic efforts of five men who risked their lives as the vehicle began to burn with the driver still inside. They got the drivers door open to save the driver. You are my #HERO. July 4, '22

Ontario's COVID wastewater signals are levelling off (even declining) in many parts of the province & the pace of hospitalization appears to be plateauing as well. Great to see.
It's still early & there's a lot of COVID out there, but we may be headed out of this wave.

NEW: I’m not sure people appreciate quite how bad the Covid situation is in Hong Kong, nor what might be around the corner.
First, an astonishing chart.
After keeping Covid at bay for two years, Omicron has hit HK and New Zealand, but the outcomes could not be more different.

2. The Omicron wave is one of the deadliest in Canada.
A smaller % with severe illness is still a lot of sick people given ⬆️transmissibility.
