Wait a minute.
They did this in New York.
It did not end well.
Crimes against humanity.
Based on the last 18 months no way this is ending well for Ontario Canada and all Canadians
@Joesph Lewenza open your ears wider, I hear some more variants are on the way in 😂
@G Angelov That is why they need hospital beds. You even listen? The Seniors No Longer Need Hospital Care. So maybe they can save a really sick person. SMH.
@True North why don’t you try to pull my ear?!
Wtf!! Oh yeah….I can’t wait to see how THIS plays out. No doubt, they’ve already starting moving patients out.
Yup they’re doing this cause they got caught
Who goes to a bureaucrat for health care any ways?
Got a heart attack coming on, let me just fill out some paperwork to cure it…?
This is insane! Who came up with this nonsense???
Eugenicists
The daily number of LTC cases and deaths has been nearly zero for two months. The crisis in LTCs, whether due to herd immunity, vaccinations, better protocols, something else, passed awhile ago. The question is whether this new policy, if implemented, will change that. (A cynic might suggest the policy is intended to cause more cases and deaths in LTCs in order to continue the overall COVID crisis perception.)
Big pharma
Deaths in Canada all cause mortality
2016 = 262,090
2017 = 274,240 (+12,150 from 2016)
2018 = 283,770 (+9,530 from 2017)
2019 = 287,460 (+3,690 from 2018)
2020 = 300,210 (+12,750 from 2019)
@garmin1 Anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers should be held accountable for the trouble they have caused. The same thing goes for conspiracy theorists. It’s too bad that we can’t review the Facebook and Twitter accounts of Covid deniers who seek treatment for COVID-19. You don’t need treatment for a virus that you don’t believe in.
@Shie H. everyone is just saying the death rate is extremely overrated compared to other fatalities
Lol does the numerical increase in deaths match population increase? Guess what? Actually gets slightly less each yr as pop growth out does death rate.
@Leekutchy That is a false equivalence. One has nothing to do with the other.
@Amelia Bedelia ugh yeah it does, long term addiction is classified as a disease.. your saying that covid deaths matter more than others😂
Adopting a page out of the Cuomo playbook.
Are you sure you’re not moving them to quarantine facilities?
WE THE NORTH
NEED A REVOLUTION
This has been attempted in multiple countries and has not ended well once!!
Just ask Cuomo.
This is real life.
There isn’t always a happy ending.
You really think all these countries are missing a simple solution?
Sometimes you need to make the least BAD decision, because there is no better option.
Long-term care is a slaughter house!!! One step closer to their grave!!!
Was thinking same thing 🤔
WAS a slaugherhouse, P J.
There have been nearly zero daily cases and deaths in LTCs for two months. The question is whether this new government policy, if implemented, would change that.
Lmfao if I find out my girlfriend’s dad gets put into a home, I’ll raise hell. I’ve been quiet until now, but this government is seriously overreaching and looking for an uprise.
Being quite was a mistake
You should be extremely loud now.
This is straight disgusting
Does he need to be in the hospital?
The uprise is here. The citizens are pissed and our government will fall.
Trudeau will own you all
New York City’s death count playbook in action right here.
HALF of all Ontario COVID deaths are LTC residents. The slaughter already happened. The crisis in LTCs actually passed two months ago.
Over the last 60 days (Feb. 28-Apr. 28), there have been a total of just 182 virus cases and 54 deaths among LTC residents. That’s an average of 3 cases and 0.9 deaths per day.
In the 60 days prior to that (Dec. 30-Feb. 27), there were 4,330 virus cases and 1,139 deaths among LTC residents.
Whether that turnaround was due to herd immunity, vaccinations, better protocols, or something else, I cannot say. But the turnaround happened. The big question is whether this new policy will reverse that.
No consent! Say goodbye to human rights in Canada
“I just read whatever they put in front of me.”
Lets move the government out without consent!
2nd that motion.
As soon as bill c10 goes through by trudeau you wont even be able to write that anymore
Next headline 2 weeks from now: “Covid19 outbreak in long term homes, seniors who survived the 1st and 2nd waves decimated. Death toll greater than the number recorded during the 1st and 2nd waves combined.”
@boghopper yep, you do your best because I’ll take it apart. This will be entertaining.
@boghopper Please don’t feed the trolls. There’s no reasoning w/ basement dwellers.
how did this work out for new york
@Sainte Jeanne d’Arc boggy IS the troll here. You’re just a little mixed up, Tool.
@Wayne Topolnicky about as planned…except for the leak
This government is out of control, its time folks they need to goo ASAP!!!
What do you suggest they do?
Is any other Gov’t going to do any better ?, who really has any answers, I never hear any from other parties.
@Max Weinbach Open everything up and drop all restrictions. Add hospital capacity as needed. Give timely vaccinations to those who desire it.
LTCs, specifically, stopped being an issue in Ontario two months ago — daily cases and deaths have been nearly zero. Will this new policy reverse that?
I heard the new mask mandate wants you to use a pillow pushed into your face.
strap it on with a belt.
how dare you overwhelm those settings when they are already so short in staff and can barely function with care for the seniors in those homes….disgusting
I can see it now ” My friends… I made a mistake” (wipes tears with our hundreds) I am reversing the decision to move patients from hospitals to LTC’s.
