May 20, 2021 Update Dear Neighbours, I Would Like To May 20, 2021 Update Dear Neighbours, I would like to continue to thank everyone for their efforts during these difficult times. It has been difficult for everyone. We must continue to fight the spread of COVID-19 and keep ourselves and our community safe by following the public health measures in place. Remember, our mental health is paramount, we need to continue to take care of ourselves and seek support if needed. *NEW* Today, the Ontario government released its three-step Roadmap to Safely Reopen the Province. Roadmap to Reopen outlines three steps to easing public health measures, guided by the following principles: • Step One An initial focus on resuming outdoor activities with smaller crowds where the risk of transmission is lower, and permitting retail with restrictions. This includes allowing outdoor gatherings of up to 10 people, outdoor dining with up to four people per table and non-essential retail at 15 per cent capacity. • Step Two Further expanding outdoor activities and resuming limited indoor services with small numbers of people where face coverings are worn. This includes outdoor gatherings of up to 25 people, outdoor sports and leagues, overnight camps, personal care services where face coverings can be worn and with capacity limits, as well as indoor religious services, rites or ceremony gatherings at 15 per cent capacity. • Step Three Expanding access to indoor settings, with restrictions, including where there are larger numbers of people and where face coverings can’t always be worn. This includes indoor sports and recreational fitness; indoor dining, museums, art galleries and libraries, and casinos and bingo halls, with capacity limits. The province will remain in each step for at least 21 days to evaluate any impacts on key public health and health system indicators. If at the end of the 21 days, the following vaccination thresholds have been met, along with positive trends in other key public health and health system indicators, then the province will move to the next step: • Step 1: 60 per cent of adults vaccinated with one dose. • Step 2: 70 per cent of adults vaccinated with one dose and 20 per cent vaccinated with two doses. • Step 3: 70 to 80 per cent of adults vaccinated with one dose and 25 per cent vaccinated with two doses.

The response has been to lock down care homes and ban visitors, volunteers and even care packages, as attempts to stop the virus from entering the facility. This had the unintended, but very real consequence of isolating our most vulnerable from those who care for and love them. “For Your Own Good”, made of 100 carved figures from identical bars of soap, then placed in mason jars, which in turn are placed on shelves, allow us to look in on the miniature elderly figures, who look out at us.

And here we are, just one month later, with not one but three breakthroughs. Pfizer (2) and Moderna (3) are both claiming around 95 percent efficacy in their vaccine studies, involving 44,000 and 30,000 volunteers respectively. And then we had AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford announcing that their vaccine, which should be cheaper and easier to distribute than the aforementioned mRNA approaches, is 70 percent effective (4).
