So, France and Germany are locking down and Russia of all countries is enforcing a mask mandate. Sweden also abandoned their herd mentality experiment and are locking down too.

Ontario reported another 934 cases of COVID-19 on Thursday, pushing the seven-day average of new daily cases to nearly 900.

The new cases include 420 found in Toronto, the most on a single day in the city by a considerable margin. The previous record was 330 infections recorded on Sept. 29.

The province also added 10 more COVID-19-linked deaths, bringing the total to 3,118. Some 2,001 of those deaths were residents of long-term care facilities.

Sharpie time for some creative curve fitting? Haven't they figured out that you can't BS with COVID yet?

EDIT - did he end up showing those positive upcoming projections?

The "good news" is that earlier projections were for 1000+ cases/day, now they are projecting more in the range of 800 cases/day. https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/new-mode...re-happening-in-ontario-s-hot-spots-1.5165764

We're almost 3 weeks past Thanksgiving, so you'd think the numbers would start to go down again by this point...
