I wonder how useful those rollbacks are going to be this time, what with this "COVID fatigue" that some people are supposed to be feeling. "Ugh, I'm so tired to think my life is in danger! Let's pretend it's not."

You do know that the "sniffles" are a symptom of viruses, such as one of the over 200+ cold virus strains. See link. The good thing is that because of "social distancing", masks, hand cleaning, etc. the spread of the common cold will likely go down.

Such a Florida thing to do!
For all those snowbirds that plan on returning to Florida for the fall/winter......
Florida passes 13,000 coronavirus deaths, added 2,355 cases Wednesday
Hospitalizations increased by 200 admissions.

Here's the MLB 2020 postseason schedule:
www.mlb.com
Note that the Tampa Bay Rays (they are currently at the top of the American League East division) would very likely be the higher seed, therefore it would have the rights to host the wild card series.
All ALDS and ALCS games will be played in southern California and all NLDS, NLCS, and the World Series will be played in Texas.
Complete 2020 MLB postseason results
The Los Angeles Dodgers have their long-awaited crown. With a 3-1 victory in Game 6 of the World Series, the Dodgers -- who stormed through a shortened regular-season schedule with a .717 winning percentage (43-17) -- claimed their first title since 1988, an ending that had evaded them in their

Apparently, the Feds (Canadian) are handing out Quarantine exemptions with some regularity; including to the lead donors to the U.S. Republican Party.
Apprently Liz Uihlein came to Ontario in late August w/2 executives in tow and they skipped the quarantine process.
To add to this........she's is apparently anti-mask..............and.....Wisconsin, her home state, is in the midst of an outbreak of Covid.
Why are people cynical??
Sigh.

Dr. De Villa from a CTV news piece:
“She said that there has also been a rise in workplace infections, including one restaurant in which four employees and two patrons tested positive and two other unspecified establishments where there were a combined 11 cases among staff and four among patrons.”
I don’t get the secrecy around workplace cases or even residential building outbreaks. I think they should be public record not dug up ad hoc by the media.

Public health officials can't trace how roughly half of Ontario's latest COVID-19 cases got infected, even as Premier Doug Ford prepares fresh measures to try to slow the pace of spread.
Of the more than 2,300 currently active cases in Ontario:

Of the more than 2,300 currently active cases in Ontario:
- The suspected method of exposure for 54 per cent of cases is either unknown, missing or labelled as "no epidemiological link," which means the novel coronavirus is being spread in the community.
- More than one-third of active cases are among people in their 20s, even though that age group makes up only 14 per cent of the province's population.
- More than half of active cases are in just two public health units — Toronto and Peel Region.

I've been doing a morning school run that involves the TTC. Mask compliance has generally been very good, though I usually come across some nose-out maskers, chin-strappers, cellphone yakkers, eaters, and blatant no-maskers along the way. My wife has the opposite experience in the afternoon with pickup - says mask compliance is really bad. Same routes.... so I wonder if there's a better compliance among typical rush hour commuters, and then it goes to hell with the mid-day crowd..... or if people get tired of wearing masks, or they're getting more soiled and lost during the day.
Also, I've been seeing TTC staff handing out masks in the morning at subway stations. Even offering them to people who already have 'em. No excuses anymore for not having a mask on the subway (at least in my experience the last couple of days).

Yes! Every residential building, workplace or service selling goods should have to inform the public of a Covid outbreak period!
Windsor health unit has no problem giving information to the public......

Just so fundamentally unwise.
