IMO, the Ford govt. is still erring on the side of insufficient caution. He talks about how the numbers are dropping from the peaks reached a few weeks ago, but with no mention of how very high they still are. For example, according to the running numbers on CBC, the current ON average of 1400+ new cases per day is nearly triple the peak last spring. Hospitalizations are still slightly above the spring peak, and the number of ICU beds filled is about 30% higher. Thankfully, deaths are a bit lower.
Fwiw, another possible comparison for the 1400+ new cases per day, one that I find pretty eye-opening, is that the lowest average reached last summer, was ~80. Yes, 80; this is not a typo. So, while 1400+ per day is a lot lower than 3000+ a few weeks ago, it's also a lot higher than 80.
Taking into consideration that there are far more contagious variants now, I simply can't believe it's a good time to be easing restrictions.
