Yes........but
Worth saying a very big chunk of yesterday's numbers and likely most days for the next several will be from Long Term Care homes. That's where the focus has turned.
The residents didn't move around.
What's happened is spread between residents and between staff and one or more residents.
The key in these outbreaks other than isolating infected staff will be how to control the outbreak in multi-room accommodation. Very challenging.

Toyota plants in Canada and the US are expected to go back to work on May 4th:

Toyota will restart production May 4, but slowly
The automaker's ramp-up of its U.S. and Canadian plants will be gradual as workers "shake off the rust" and are trained in new procedures designed to keep them safe from COVID-19 infection, head of manufacturing Chris Reynolds said. Inventories are fine at the moment but demand looks to be more...

Coronavirus: medical experts denounce Trump's latest 'dangerous' treatment suggestion
Doctors warn president’s musings on disinfectant as a cure for coronavirus could lead to death
Donald Trump has stunned viewers by suggesting that people could receive injections of disinfectant to cure the coronavirus, a notion one medical expert described as “jaw-dropping”.
At Thursday’s White House coronavirus task force briefing, the US president discussed new government research on how the virus reacts to different temperatures, climates and surfaces.
“And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute,” Trump said. “One minute! And is there a way we can do something, by an injection inside or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that. So, that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me.”
Dr Deborah Birx, the task force response coordinator, remained silent. But social media erupted in hilarity and outrage at the president, who has a record of defying science and also floated the idea of treating patients’ bodies with ultraviolet (UV) light.

One in 3 canadians think the virus came from a lab on china.
That is not good news because that means in other countries this is probably believed by most people.

Coronavirus: Dettol and Lysol maker warns against injections after Trump comments
A leading global disinfectant maker has been forced to warn consumers against injecting or drinking its products after Donald Trump asked if it could help treat the coronavirus.
Reckitt Benckiser (RB, RB.L), the maker of UK cleaning brand Dettol and US brand Lysol, issued the stark advice to consumers on Friday, saying it had a responsibility to help with “myth-busting.”
“As a global leader in health and hygiene products, we must be clear that under no circumstance should our disinfectant products be administered into the human body,” it said in a statement on its website.
The London-listed firm’s statement came after the US president said it would be “interesting” for researchers to check if inserting disinfectant into patients’ bodies could help, calling it “almost a cleaning.”
The comments have been widely dismissed by scientists and sparked ridicule. Robert Reich, a US public policy professor and former labour minister, tweeted: “Trump's briefings are actively endangering the public's health. Boycott the propaganda. Listen to the experts. And please don't drink disinfectant.”

Lab or no, I’d say 1 in 1 Canadians know this virus came from China. The damage China has done to the world through the needless death of hundreds of thousands and economic disruption needs to be accounted for and prevented from reoccurring. China did this to us, that’s the point, not if it came from a lab, was intentional or accidental, or mysticism-based food practices.

We definitely don't have enough facts to draw a firm conclusion about the role of the Chinese state (or community in Wuhan) in the origin story of the virus.
We do have evidence that the virus once known, was downplayed, doctors who spoke out were penalized, the number of cases/extent of the problem were under reported.
Those are actions for which we can hold the Chinese state accountable.
But while we're dolling out blame............we've known about the risks of outbreaks and infections in our long-term care homes for more than a decade.
Indeed, an Auditor General's report in 2009 identified serious problems and the risk of large numbers of deaths.............
Perhaps there are people in leadership in three different governments who could be called on to explain why that report was not diligently followed up on.
Long Term Care in Ontario is the source of over 70% of our deaths.

We can start by repositioning those stupid Jersey barriers at Union station to add more room for pedestrians, instead of just getting in their way.

We certainly do have a enough facts. Researchers in Hong Kong warned China about the dangers of eating bats in 2007
How China's 'Bat Woman' Hunted Down Viruses from SARS to the New Coronavirus
Wuhan-based virologist Shi Zhengli has identified dozens of deadly SARS-like viruses in bat caves, and she warns there are more out there
But in China they blame the spread of Covid on black people.
Nothing surprises me from this country, this a country that allows animal cruelty, they classified dogs as livestock! Poor treatment of women, forced sterilization! Installation of nets at factories to stop the workers who they treat like slaves from committing suicide! Building more coal plants than any other place on earth, which will lead to even more deadly pollution...etcChina is like something out of a horror movie.
McDonald's China apologizes for banning black people from a store
McDonald's is in damage control mode after a restaurant in China displayed a sign banning black people from the premises.
