StarEditorial: So long as significant risk from COVID persists, the government should be doing a far better job of showing up and offering straight talk rather than false comfort.
It’s unlikely Ontario Premier Doug Ford is much of a poker player. His “tells” are too numerous, and too obvious.
Not panic, certainly, but perhaps a touch of concern? Or at least an acknowledgement that the public is confused about where we stand at this stage of the pandemic. That’s a pretty major decision, one that until very recently would have been trumpeted by ministers and pushed by public health authorities. Yet Ontario made the public aware through a simple news release. Ford and Elliott answered questions about it not at an event called for that purpose, but as part of their announcement about Ukrainian refugees. Dr. Moore was nowhere to be seen.
The evidence is clear that a third dose makes a huge difference in keeping people out of hospital if they do contract COVID. The government should keep banging the drum on that.
