Quebec City, Chaudiere, Monteregie and Estrie regions did not appear to clear their backlogs until the 24th, which accounts for maybe 150 cases. If we shift those to the 23rd we get this:
2020-03-23 778(+258%)
2020-03-24 1040(+34%)
2020-03-25 1339(+29%)
2020-03-26 1629(+22%)
This seems a bit more sensible, and the last three days are in the 20-30% range, which is definitely not good. They are running more tests (almost 20,000 in the last two days) but the positive test rate is fairly high at about 3%. But we'll know better after the weekend.
Today's update to the Quebec series:
2020-03-23 778 (+258%)
2020-03-24 1040 (+34%)
2020-03-25 1339 (+29%)
2020-03-26 1629 (+22%)
2020-03-27 2021 (+24%)
Ontario added 135 cases (16%) today.
