The Ministry of Health reports 111 cases of COVID-19 Thursday. Wednesday’s total was 102, a three-month low. Both numbers are taken as evidence of progress in beating the coronavirus keeping in mind the tricky and unforeseen ways in which it can re-emerge. Meanwhile, Toronto infectious disease authority Dr. Isaac Bogoch (Tweet below) is pondering the hopeful day when a vaccine of even moderate effectiveness may be available. Let us hope, indeed.
Today, Ontario is reporting 111 cases of #COVID19, a 0.3% increase. Locally, 30 of Ontario’s 34 public health units are reporting five or fewer cases, with fully 19 of them reporting no new cases. Yesterday, the province processed 26,492 tests.

When we have a vaccine, even if it has moderate efficacy, elimination is a muuuuuuuuuuch more realistic option.
