Modelling an important factor in COVID-19 public health decisions The use of data is vital in making the best and most informed decision in the public-health world. And while health units in Ontario are subject to the province’s decisions, the modelling used at the more local level has helped guide recommendations and resources as COVID-19 cases both increase and decline.

CINCINNATI â
Many Cincinnati area homeowners and renters are opening their January/February heating bills this week, and getting sticker shock when they do.
Amy Greer of Monfort Heights has been been turning her thermostat down the past few weeks.
But her January 2021 Duke Energy bill is still crazy high. Our December bill was $168, and the one we just got was 315, Greer told us in a Zoom interview.

It seems that we could all agree 2020 was a disaster of a year for just about everyone.
Frankly, it’s not looking like early 2021 is shaping up any better. This concerns me more from a mental health point of view. So many, including myself, have pinned their hopes on 2021 being a better, brighter year, that I fear the disappointment in its failure to do so may have tragic consequences. My intent was to start the year (and this column) on a more positive note, with hopes that the New Year would usher in a whole new attitude. I wonder instead however, if we’ll continue to see more of the same old griping, fear and concern that was all too pervasive during 2020.

Zoom magic shows. FaceTime gingerbread contests. Dinner in PJs. We asked COVID experts from coast to coast how they’ll spend the holidays; dozens told us what they’re doing to safely enjoy the season.
After a busy year advising on the development of the COVID-19 vaccine, University of Toronto immunologist Eleanor Fish is particularly excited to enjoy this holiday season with friends and family, albeit virtually.
During Hanukkah, which this year began on Dec. 10 and ends on Dec. 18, Fish lit candles with her daughter, son-in-law, and five grandchildren. (In Ontario, those who live alone can join one other household.) Her two other daughters and extended family members also planned to join in on Zoom.
