Guests: Sara Mojtehedzadeh and Rachel Mendleson, Star reporters While Ontario Premier Doug Ford touted rapid tests as a "game changer" and directed for them to be distributed to hot spot neighbourhoods to help quell the virus, a Star investigation found that only one fifth of 20 million tests ended up in those areas in the first 10 months of the province's taxpayer-funded screening program.

Health officials say rapid point of care tests will soon be available in Mississippi as the state experiences an upward swing in coronavirus transmission.Then, the Secretary of State's office releases data on absentee voting. Plus, Senate Judiciary hearings for Amy Coney Barrett continue today under a cloud of controversy.

Dobbs is concerned about the state's healthcare system being strained once more. He says data points indicate the state is reversing course in it's fight against the coronavirus.Segment 2:A report on the number of Mississippians voting by mail-in absentee ballot is coming out as election day nears. According to the Mississippi Secretary of State's Office some 91,000 people have requested absentee ballots statewide. Of that number, more than 58,000 have voted and mailed the ballots back to their county circuit clerk's office.
