COVID-19: Ontario’s top doctor calls modelling projections, ICU admissions ‘disconcerting’
Description
December 7, 2021
Ontario’s chief medical officer of health Dr. Kieran Moore said on Tuesday that the province’s COVID-19 modelling, which predicted a rise in cases, was “disconcerting,” adding that most of the cases are preventable. “It saddens me deeply to see the vast majority of individuals in our intensive care units are unvaccinated,” he said.
