My confidence in back to school is pretty much gone :/ There won't be any social distancing on the bus or is class rooms or in school. Just masks. Doubt they actually did anything about ventilation.

One of Ontario's most vocal epidemiologists has resigned from the province's COVID-19 Science Advisory Table, alleging the group has delayed publication of its pandemic projections for the fall due to political interference — a charge the table has denied.

"I find myself increasingly uncomfortable with the degree to which political considerations appear to be driving outputs from the tables, or at least the degree to which these outputs are shared in a transparent manner with the public," he wrote.

No idea what to do anymore. School starts Sept 6, (maybe). Cases have just begun to climb exponentially again. And the fall fair is allowed to go on just before school starts. Why not add a super spreader event to set off the school year. But hey, there's always a positive spin "Ontario logs fewer than 500 new COVID-19 cases for first time in five days" yeah those are the counts of the Sunday tests... The count from Friday was 722, couple weeks ago we were almost under 100, now it looks like we're going after our April record of nearly 4500 cases daily.
