We in Ontario have been deluged with scary stories about the second wave of COVID-19. I spent a leisurely morning perusing the government's own pandemic website.
Some salient facts:
- during the first wave, Ontario processed approx 15,000 tests per day
- daily case counts peaked approx 550
- daily test numbers have trended steadily higher.
- Dec 10 was first time over 60,000 were processed.
- Jan 1 was first time over 70,000 tests were processed
- daily case counts now approx 3500, increase of 600% +
- daily deaths @ peak of first wave: 60
- avg daily deaths past seven days (Jan 9 - 16): 60
Draw your own conclusions.
