It would be naive to think that there are not at least some cases in the community here in Waterloo region. I'm personally glad for a lot of reasons that the provincial government is restricting things in stages, instead of moving right into the type of "lockdown" some places in Europe and now the States are in, but it's not too early to dramatically curtail the amount of interaction we all have with one another. It's definitely out there, and there are infections about to take place that will hopefully be prevented with our modified behaviour.
You are absolutely correct: I expect there are some infected people out there in the community. But I still feel good that we have not yet run into any cases of community-infected people: that means the infected people are either self-isolating or that there are not very many of them (yet). Or both.
