We need to look at this outbreak closely. Were the kids spending time together indoors? They were apparently masked and distanced. Kids transmitted to parents. Foreshadowing for the fall? @DrToddLee @DFisman cbc.ca/news/canada/mo…

We have made great progress in our city thanks to all of your efforts. #COVID19 is still here & we need to stay focused to stay ahead of this virus so we can keep moving forward. Please continue to wash your hands, watch your distance, wear a mask & take care of each other.

More businesses and services are able to reopen in @cityoftoronto and @regionofpeel thanks to everyone's collective efforts to limit the spread of #COVID19. No matter which stage a region is in, everyone needs to continue to follow public health advice. news.ontario.ca/opo/en/2020/07…

Today, we announced that Toronto and Peel regions will move into Stage 3 on Friday at 12:01 a.m. I’d also like to acknowledge the considerable and ongoing work by Windsor-Essex public health officials to contain the virus locally. You have our full support.

Dogs can be trained to sniff out #COVID19. 8 dogs trained for 1 week in this well-designed study. "the dogs achieved an overall average detection rate of 94%" Swabs vs dogs? Get these dogs in public transit, airports & schools! (Also, I want a dog) tinyurl.com/y5g3d8zh

@DFisman @RFisman They sucked 40k out of me, it was fun, but looking back not worth risking my life or the lives of my family. Hell no.

@jkwan_md 4 months late, but better late than never! Reminds me of myself screaming at the television early February for masks. I've aged horribly.

@DFisman @ckboychuk @BogochIsaac We need those paper strip tests, that would potentially weed out about 90% of those infected that *can* infect before they even board. I'm getting on the paper strip test bandwagon RN.

@fungtastique @DFisman @sunflowercyn @TCDSB @fordnation Agreed, potentially for other aspects of *getting life back to normal* these paper tests might be a good idea, where feasible.

@DFisman @sunflowercyn @TCDSB Although.. acc. to recent Harvard experts, we don't need nearly as sensitive testing (RT-PRC) Only about ~50%+ is needed to catch the majority of cases, cheap paper tests are available @ this sensit. range Might be a way to do school openings again.. youtube.com/watch?v=h7Sv_p…

While there are some great #COVID19 vaccine breakthroughs, important to remember that many will not pan out. CanSino vaccine - possible issues in those with previous antibodies to the adenovirus vaccine vector used (~50%)...they don’t seem to mount a strong antibody response.

ICYMI: @Dereklowe breaks down the CanSino results that came out Monday. "... if I were a betting man – perish the thought – this vaccine is not where I would be putting my money just now." That preexisting immunity to Ad5 problem. blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archi…
