Last week, the Ontario Science Advisory Table said we are looking at a potential for 3000 COVID-19 a day by mid-January and 400 people in ICU.
This doesn’t even factor in the Omicron variant.

Dr Gardner says getting more people vaccinated, especially kids aged 5-12, would help.
The projections also don’t factor in the possibility of increased socialization over the holidays.
