Ontario Department of Public Health shows that 841 new cases have been reported in the past 24 hours, and over 821 on Tuesday. This is the second-highest number since the second wave of the epidemic and the second-highest since the beginning of the year. There were 335 new cases in Toronto, 162 in Peel, 106 in York, and 72 in Ottawa. Toronto had more than 300 cases for three consecutive days, and York had more than 100.
As the epidemic continued to spread, hopes were raised for COVID-19 vaccines. Recent promising ones from Oxford and AstraZeneca fell apart, with a 28-year-old man from Rio DE Janeiro who died on October 21 from “complications of COVID-19”. The data showed that the man was a volunteer in a vaccine trial. But involved in such an incident, neither Anvisa nor the lab-confirmed whether the volunteers had received only a placebo or the real vaccine. However, according to Globo media, sources related to the international vaccine study said participants received a placebo. If something really goes wrong with the vaccine, it could affect Canada a lot, after all, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced last month that he had signed a deal with Cambridge’s AstraZeneca to buy 20 million doses of the covid-19 vaccine.
The Oxford vaccine incident has led many people to question the safety of vaccines. However, a vaccine developed by China has been administered to up to 60,000 people, and not a single person has suffered a serious reaction. The chief biosafety expert broadcasted that the vaccine would be available to the general public around November or December.
From the chart, we can see that America is now experiencing the third wave of outbreaks. Canada is now experiencing the second wave of outbreaks, while there are only a few infected people in China. From the lecture, what we could know is that there do not exist two networks that are exactly the same. China and Europe, which have taken the lead in containing the outbreak, are developing vaccines. After the success of the development, the North American region is bound to carry out a large number of procurements. Because of the globalization of the world, when the vaccine is successfully developed, the epidemic situation in various countries will be significantly alleviated. The curve on the graph also tends to flatten out.
