We are getting same, even though cases have stopped increasing. The past high number of cases is catching up



Thank God they are now vaccinating care home staff who inadvertently have been the source  of most all  cases and deaths in this second wave



Soon residents will get their turn and all will be 100% safe

Anthony "Gaspipe" Casso, 78, died Tuesday in Arizona after his bid for compassionate release was shot down last week.



According to the New York Post, the Lucchese crime family underboss had been in failing health for years and was wheelchair-bound.

https://globalnews.ca/news/7528944/fire-burnaby-hospital-arson-covid-19-outbreak/">A fire at Burnaby Hospital on Nov. 15 appears to have been arson, RCMP said Thursday.



It sparked a terrible virus spread and some resulting deaths



The three-alarm fire, which broke out in a basement-level utility room, spread smoke to other areas of the building and forced the evacuation and closure of the emergency room.



Patients had to be moved to other areas of the hospital as a result, Fraser Health said, and thus contributed to the spread of a COVID-19 outbreak that eventually grew to 55 patients and five deaths.



Forty staff members also tested positive for the coronavirus (which of course left them with less staff and more patients)



Medical appointments and some surgeries were also rescheduled.

Germany and the UK are reporting more cases now than before their lock downs.

I final sum them all on  Fridays  (to compare weekly increase vs decrease) but also keep running totals - Both, as others are just under previous week today, but will likely go  well over with tomorrows numbers



And all have serious controls in effect. This virus is a biatch to control
