Second wave Ontario: cases up 600%, deaths about the same

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.
