Being born in a duck yard does not matter,
if only you are hatched from a swan’s egg.

Day 14 of Quarantine after travel. Unfortunately our self-isolation has been increased by 2 days. My stepson had stopped in to see us on the Friday before he left for work. He now has pneumonia and probably has COVID-19, but is not qualified to be tested as testing is limited to high risk individuals and Health Care Professionals in Ontario.
Once the quarantine period is over our self-isolation won’t change much as everything except essential services is closed and social distancing is still demanded.
The numbers being reported of confirmed cases in Canada keep growing every day. The number of COVID-19 total cases in Canada was 9,613 as of April 1st, 2020 with 109 confirmed deaths. The actual number of people with COVID-19 is probably much higher. Only people at high risk and health care professionals are being tested in Ontario.
The reported numbers in the USA are much higher, even considering that Canada has about 10% of the population of the USA. President Trump said that over 240,000 Americans could die from COVID-19,
