I just don’t get why now after a whole year, we are reporting 2 day numbers. All of a sudden. So why now???

Is it to show a higher click bait number? Is it because just 2 weeks ago they had headlines that said 6k in April and now they can post headlines of 6k if they post two days??? Just things that make you think.
This is not the first time they are reporting 2 day numbers, so many holidays and so many weekends they've done this, it's the first time you have have decided to make a stand against it because you either don't understand it or are trying to make a big deal about it. And they are quite transparent in saying it's for two days, as they clearly stat those so important words. Again it has absolutely nothing to do with 6k in number of cases in April like you've been trying to link it to numerous times now.
If this is making you think hmmm, you are paying attention to the wrong information and I will add you might be prone to conspiracy theories.

My source - which is the Ontario government website still says 3009 for the other day. April 3rd. It has not changed to your number of 4484 which is not on a government site.

Can you admit now that having two sites with a difference of almost 1500 case can be confusing to people? And how confused people are less likely to believe some of these numbers and therefore not trust in our government?

Oh believe me when I tell you this, I fully believe there are many confused people and many of these people get confused quite easily, it's because they don't have the ability to read and understand, and research the information they are reading, but this is nothing new to these types of people.

The confused bunch were confused prior to COVID, they will be confused after it, so nothing changes. Everything they believe in has to do with their own and others anecdotal opinions rather than understanding of the facts, and they are prone to bullshit and nonsense rather than again understanding of the facts.
This is the reason 16 months into the pandemic we still have to explain how masks work, how blood clots and heart failures for many since the beginning of the pandemic has everything to do with COVID, how social distancing works, how having a lower amount of exposure to other people actually reduces the possibility of catching the Coronavirus.
I know, I know such complicated facts to understand.

It's not new. It's happened every stat holiday. No conspiracy about it but simply the government doesn't report data on those days so the media reports it the next day when it's released.

Here's from Christmas day
Ontario sees 4,301 new cases of COVID-19 over 2 days as provincewide lockdown begins

New years
Ontario sees 5,839 new cases of COVID-19 and 95 deaths over 2 days

Same thing for Labour Day, Canada Day, and last Easter.


And sorry but it seems you're thinking is simply trying to confirm your bias instead of looking at why things are that way.

p.s. Notice that both are clear in the headlines that it's a two day number?
I admit I didn’t see this happen over other long weekends so for that, it’s my bad. It just seemed “fishy” to me but like that one time only before back 1982, I was wrong.

hahahahha. Ok way more times wrong then just once but that time in man ‘82....... LOL.

82 was a tough year. Pretty sure that was the first time I was suspended from school (just for an afternoon I think).

Ontario could see well over 18,000 new daily COVID-19 infections — despite continuing vaccinations — if current trends continue, CBC News has learned from a government source.

New modelling details show additional public health measures could bring that number down closer to 10,000, sources say, however those measures would have to be considerably more restrictive to curb the rate of infection.

The modelling also shows up to 1,800 patients in intensive care by the end of May, according to the sources.

Projections released by the province two weeks ago had forecast up to 12,000 new cases per day with around 800-1,000 people in ICU by the end of April.

The Ontario cabinet is also considering the following proposals, which have not yet been formally approved:

  • Closing all non-essential retail, no curbside pick-up or delivery.
  • Further restricting retail hours of operation.
  • Restricting curbside pick-up (only permit non-essential retail to deliver).
  • Shutting down non-essential construction, warehouses and manufacturing not related to health, food or automotive.
  • Prohibiting all outdoor gatherings for non-family members in the same household.
  • Tightening capacity of indoor events like places of worship, weddings and funerals.
  • Increasing fines, increase policing powers.

It is very grim! Unless they can pump out these vaccines faster to younger folks and companies with essential workers in close proximity it's going to keep going up with the variants in play. Add in the fact many have covid fatigue it's going to be a tough sled.

You mean have an actual lockdown like we had last spring where pretty much only hospitals, groceries, and pharmacies (and their supply chains) were open and everyone else was told to stay home?

The countries that have successfully prevented spread have been doing that for a few weeks at a time when needed instead of waiting until things got nasty before realizing that actions need to be taken.

Surprised none of the usuals posted about the latest CDC release.

So far, 5,800 fully vaccinated people have caught Covid anyway in US, CDC says

5800 out of 77 million fully vaccinated people seems far better than the 95% efficacy from the original studies.

I want to see the actual modeling with lower number of the predictions being shown.

We are not meeting 18k. We have not even hit the 6k they said. They said 10k when I started this thread but the low number was 2k and for the timeline in March, they were right on the lower number. So I want to see that that because it always seems they show the high number to scare everyone and we never come close to hitting it. The low number is the actual proper predictions. I’m not buying these fear mongering in the news media.They got the low number from their source as well. I bet my life on it but they won’t post that number until The modeling is actually released. This is my problem with the news media regarding COVID.
