It seems like Ontario is (hopefully) going down again after a bad week due to Mother’s Day. We had two weeks of high new cases after Mother’s Day. It seems like enough people violated physical distancing to make the situation worse. It also underscores why physical distancing is so important.

Canada has made a rapid improvement in tackling the number of daily deaths. I’d have done the update yesterday but I put it off because reported deaths were too low. I was concerned that perhaps the data was not tabulated properly because of the long weekend. As expected, the reported…

Germany, France, Italy, and Spain are pretty much flat. The daily deaths number is finally slowing down in the US. The US part was expected considering the country will cross 100,000 COVID-19 deaths this month (the real number might be twice as high).

Over half of all deaths in Canada have been in the Montreal area. My heart aches for all the lives lost. It’s no longer interesting to look at Canada since different provinces are behaving very differently. Nevertheless, Canada is continuing down the same path it has been for a few…

Daily new COVID-19 deaths in Ontario might finally be going down. “Might” because we’ve seen declines before that reverse. We need to give it another week to be sure, but it seems like even the number of deaths in Ontario (blue line) is decreasing. That, sadly, isn’t the case for…

The US started to do well earlier this week, but today took a turn for worse I suspect things there might get worse in the coming days.

Can you tell, the number of deaths in Canada is finally starting to slow: It might be hard to see, but if we see the 5-day rolling average of death, we can see it starting to come down:

I had predicted 4,870 deaths by May 10th. Canada reported exactly 4,870 deaths. That’s some prediction! Good news first: Ontario sees the lowest growth in new cases since early April, with only 294 new cases found out of 17,618 tests completed. That’s only a 1.7% positive rate. There is other…

Canada reported the least number of non-Sunday deaths in 19 days. Quebec reported the least number of deaths in 22 days. Ontario reported the lowest number of new cases in almost a month. In Ontario, over 14,000 cases are considered resolved, which makes up 72.1% of all confirmed cases. The following chart is the same data as above, except showing a 3-day rolling average:
