Infectious disease specialist Dr. Gerald Evans says that part of that owes to the age demographics in Kingston.“Part of that is what we call a demographic skew, so if you look at the population demographics of the local area, there’s a skew towards older people,” said Evans.
All the more concerning is the fact that there are multiple potential super-spreader events coming up in the community, all in the next week. “I’m probably going to be studying a lot, however, I’m still going to go out, show some face,” said Queen’s University student Trevor Ottoway. Sandwiched in between Foco and Homecoming is Monday’s municipal election, which will likely see people flocking to various polling stations throughout the city at a time during which masking is not mandatory inside.
