That was the solution in a 1960s novel. About nuclear threat?

The answer is no, you can’t have Alaska. You can have (place name deleted) however.

The summer is expected to be the easiest it’s going to get for people living in Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic. Lines outside grocery stores have been opportunities to relish in the warm weather, and hangouts have been enjoyed under the sun or in the shade of a tree.

But experts warn that things are expected to change once winter arrives with its sub-zero temperatures and heaps of snow, and residents, governments and businesses need to prepare well for the upcoming not-so-far-away season.

B.C. recorded 85 new cases on Wednesday, the most in a 24-hour period since the end of April.

“The cases we are seeing today reflect exposures from a week to 10 days ago,” Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said.

The update came the same day B.C. announced it was hiring 500 additional healthcare workers to conduct contact tracing across the province.

Ontario, the most populous province, finally has things under control. More testing, which they struggled at the beginning. Daily new cases frequently below 100.

For the first time since the province began reporting hospitalization data on April 1, the number of patients in Ontario hospitals with COVID-19 being treated with a ventilator fell to single digits, with just nine. A further 17 patients are being cared for in intensive care units.

The province’s network of about 30 community, commercial and hospital labs processed 30,137 test samples for the novel coronavirus, the most on a given day since Aug. 2. Another 35,426 samples were added to the queue to be completed.

“The choice was made last week when the Liberals walked out of our meetings,” [Premier Blaine] Higgs said.

The premier said the Green Party and the People’s Alliance of New Brunswick (PANB) were willing, but the opposition party was not willing to agree to prop up the Higgs minority government until September 2022, or until the pandemic had been declared over.

Over the past week, Alberta has averaged about two new cases per 100,000 population per day, Dr. Deena Hinshaw, the province’s chief medical officer of health, said Tuesday at a news conference.

That compares with average rates of more than 25 new daily cases per 100,000 in Florida, Georgia and Texas, where school reopening issues have been identified, she said.

Hinshaw also praised the “quick actions” taken by of Covenant Health and Alberta Health Services over the weekend to respond after a staff member at the Grey Nuns Community Hospital tested positive.

The staff member was working on a unit caring for three people who had tested positive with COVID-19. Those cases were acquired in the community, not at the hospital, she said.

“Covenant Health closed the unit to patient transfers and discharges, took additional patient precautions, limited visitors to exceptional circumstances only and has been performing enhanced cleaning,” Hinshaw said.

The chances we’ll have a snap federal election (less than a year from the last one) this autumn is elevated.
Provincial elections will be held early in New Brunswick because the minority government collapsed over a disagreement with the opposition and Saskatchewan will have to hold one because it’s been 4 years since the last one.
