Person in Regina hospital. Crying. Dying.
"I should have had my shots. My wife had hers. She kept telling me to get mine. I'm going to die, aren't I?"
He spoke w/ family one last time before going to ICU. He told them he was so sorry.
He died 3 days later, alone.

513 cases today in Ontario. R(t) ~1.5. Millions of unvaccinated children heading back to schools in less than a month. 20 million doses across Canada in freezers, can't be easily donated to lower-income countries.
