More than one-third of long-term care homes in Ontario are currently experiencing a COVID outbreak.

Staff are working without adequate PPE, and 2 have died in the past week. Why is this happening?

Ontario's vaccine rollout is ramping up, but at our current rate it will take 5 years for 80% of adults in Ontario to get vaccinated. What's going wrong, and what can be done to fix it?
