With testing limited and hobbled, wastewater data shows there is more COVID in circulation than there was at the peak of the January Omicron wave. According to Dr. Peter Jüni, the scientific director of the province’s independent volunteer science table, Ontario is seeing an estimated 100,000 COVID infections per day right now, give or take. “The (last Omicron) wave was broken — it was not the natural behaviour of the wave. So the question is now will (this wave) peak in a week from now, a bit earlier, or only two weeks from now. The province is boasting of 3,000 ICU beds, which is a fantasy, even before staff shortages, which remain less than the Omicron peak, but are rising.
