Ugh, why are people in Ontario so catastrophically dense?
I presume were talking about the much higher rates of COVID cases in Ontario compared to the rest of the country, and the answer's extremely simple: population density. Even most of Ontario is low in case numbers compared to the GTHA.
It is a lot easier to social distance when you live in a rural community where everyone has their own space inside and a backyard, and drives to and from work at a small business, and much harder when you are living in a community where you have to ride an overcrowded public transit system to and from work in an overcrowded office or store because commercial real estate is an out of control racket, wait in an overcrowded lobby for the elevator, then ride the overcrowded elevator up to your small apartment you share with three other people who are all in the same boat as you because residential real estate is even fucking worse.
Thankfully my wife and I got the hell out of the condo two years ago. If I was still living there, or god forbid, in the apartment building I was in before that, and didn't have the luxury of working from home as I do now, I'd be fucked.
