Ontario is in the midst of a dangerous, out-of-control third wave that has landed more COVID-19 patients in the ICU at once than ever before, and to say that health experts are less than impressed by the provincial government s response is an understatement.
Premier Doug Ford announced a new provincewide shutdown on Thursday afternoon that will see many non-essential businesses shuttered and gathering limits reduced, but doctors working on the front lines of the crisis say these measures will do little to actually address where the majority of transmission is happening.

An Australian developed hydrogen ‘catalyst’ could be the key to shifting the global energy system to hydrogen, with its Australian inventors signing a landmark deal to advise the Philippine government on a potential transition to a green hydrogen economy.
Star Scientific has developed an innovative new catalyst material, dubbed the Hydrogen Energy Release Optimizer or HERO, which it says has the ability to convert hydrogen into heat without combustion, and at a very high thermal efficiency.
Star Scientific says the catalyst coating has the potential for use in the production of high temperature steam, allowing existing thermal power stations to be retrofitted to run on hydrogen, as well as allowing industrial operations to use hydrogen as an effective source of heat.
Offshore wind resources
Under the MoU, the parties will investigate ways in which Hero technology can be used to convert existing power assets within the Philippines to zero-emission hydrogen assets, such as retro-fitting existing coal-fired power plants to run on the Hero system powered by green hydrogen.
They will also look to explore utilising green hydrogen production in the Philippines using an abundance of offshore wind resources.
The parties will also look at the viability of increased distribution of emission-free power by way of a supercritical CO
2 grid network powered by Hero technology.
They will also work together to investigate desalination options for both existing and new systems throughout the Philippines through the use of the Hero technology.
