Canada's chief public health officer says the spread of COVID-19 is shifting towards seniors, adding to the mounting signs suggesting a second wave could hit just as hard as the first.

In a statement Saturday, Dr. Theresa Tam said that while the summer saw cases concentrated in the 20 to 39 age range, infection rates are now accelerating in older populations.

Meanwhile, some of the hardest-hit provinces are scrambling to prevent such a worst-case scenario by introducing new restrictions to rein in the surge in regional hot spots. The government also reported seven new deaths related to the virus. In total, 213 people are hospitalized in Ontario because of COVID-19; 47 people are in intensive care and 29 are on ventilators.

In response, the province was set to expand restrictions in nearly all the regions along the St. Lawrence River between Montreal and Quebec City on Saturday night.

Do we even pay this idiot to stage the obvious often late

Lame fckin reporting. Up to 97% of those who died in Canada were over the age of 60! Tam and Liberals failed the elderly from the start Intel in December and waited until March/April to take any action. Then they failed to use science and look where we are.

The talking head

Did they think that old people would not die this year? Wake up you God’s syndrom freaks!

Has Tam and the rest of them not learned a thing? Care homes were basically slaughter houses . Those poor seniors were in petri dish of CV19! The government was careless. And here we are phase 2 and this repeats? It's not acceptable 😪🤬

Again

Yes, we know people in ltc get sick and die this time of year, every year. Your great reset needs a reset.

That what was China's plan in the first place kill off it's senior population because it's taking up valuable monies that could be spent on communist propaganda and policy like CERB.

Canadians should view this:

as it normally does old people get sick and die

where are the daily stats for seniors? provide the data!

Tam sounds like a researcher and not a nation’s top doctor. Use your data and findings to come up with a plan! CPHO_Canada Canada

Stop allowing people to take their loved ones from the homes for the day and bring them back in with zero testing or quarantine period then, you fucking goblin. Nope, instead we can just close restaurants and gyms, that'll fix it.

Duh you had 8 months to figure this out!! Quit wasting resources on healthy ppl

How is this possible if you are doing your job?

The risk has ALWAYS been the highest in seniors in long term care homes you idiots!

Think about it. This was deliberately aimed at the demographic that would yield the highest numbers. Covid-19 patients were sent into long term care facilities. If they had been sent anywhere else, very little would have happened. Look at the death tolls mainly 65-99 years old.

.fordnation celliottability DrFullertonMPP The younger generation can deal with the lack of preparation you showed for the flu season and 2nd wave 🤓 Seniors are the most vulnerable population. DO NOT mess up with them like you did the first time😡. There is not excuses😷😷🤨

People weren’t scared enough so now they have to push this!

Release the pandemic pay for East Kootenay BC Health workers !

Those Seniors should stay out of the bars.

Phase one or two before too late

Is it still safe for B.C. seniors to go to the polls? CPHO_Canada bcpoli

After failing seniors the first time around. Atleast the federal government will stay consistant and fail them again!

Surprise!! Oh wait it shouldn’t be. Months to fix what you knew was broken instead you bunch lecture, threaten and push fear!

Too late for her.... If she really wanna do something.. learn from China first... Open mind needed. Track the affected and warn the public.. privacy doesn't count before most people's life. Think about if you have a broken main.Will you just clean the water on the surface?

Such BS. Old folks homes are full of viruses of all kinds. My dad died shortly after arriving in one 20 years ago. Stop spreading this crap.

Where is Canada with the quick Covid 19 tests or Therapeutics. They should have been ready. It's all on this Gov't. Nobody else.......

Just think our government doctors didn’t learn anything from the first wave. They won’t learn anything of the second wave any other wave after that. Their answer to the cure is to close down businesses.

Maybe it’s time to think about changing up the people leading our efforts to combat C19? JustinTrudeau fordnation

She looks very tired

How many lockdowns and opening ups does this cityoftoronto and Province of Ontario have to go through before normality comes back? ...the WHOLE POPULATION of cityoftoronto & the one of province of Ontario? Mayor JohnTory Dr. epdevilla Dr. Tam CPHO_Canada TOPublicHealth

Covid versus the Flu (as of April) but too, after the pandemic respiratory mortality no different from previous years.

Well, yeah. Duh.

Learned nothing

Wow!. I thought the deputy PM was a dog. This one rules the kennel.

She should do her job and make sure seniors are protected then.

Ummmm we knew this from the so called first wave!!! I’m guessing if the United States President 45 said this then the media and liberals would be upset but since it’s a liberal of colour saying this it’s ok 🤷‍♂️ but then again she did say this👇

How are LTC homes having outbreaks? Visitors need negative tests to get in. Are staff not being tested TheWECHU CPHO_Canada celliottability BlackburnEssex

It has to be workers and families bringing into care homes. How else can this virus attack these folks. Very sad state!

Thx for nothing OntarioPCParty you are an unmitigated disaster, killing us off so you can make money off desperate taxpayers. Shame on you onpoli cdnpoli

Timeto reach into elderly care homes to rack up covid deaths. They couldn’t get one for weeks in Waterloo blaming children and youth so they have to switch the narrative...again back to the big senior threat watch deaths rise as our elders pass away and are labeled covid

Now this is something we need to worry about.

How come the hospitals are still empty? Why are nurses still getting laid off? Are you lying to us?

So CPHO_Canada learned nothing, absolutely NOTHING, from the first wave?

Do people still listen to this beast?
