Which Numbers Matter in COVID?

Do you get the sense that we are feeling our way in the dark as the second wave of the pandemic comes crashing ashore? It's certainly the feeling the a number of industries have after Queen's Park decided to impose modified stage 2 restrictions on restaurants, gyms, performance centres in the Toronto, Peel and Ottawa regions. A ban on indoor dining, the closure of gyms, the cancellation of already restricted performance centres has left small businesses and not-for-profit groups grasping for financial lifelines. In this week's episode of On the Ledge we ask who's calling the shots in the effort to fight COVID while keeping the economy moving?  And what numbers should we be focussed on? We have more cases than ever had but urgent and critical care beds aren't being overwhelmed.
