@tom009 For methdology, are you counting tests when the results are released, or are you regressing the data back in time to when the test was sent or when symptoms presented?
Public health is presenting data in this way right now: https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/s...cases.html
It helps correct for the bias of the testing backlog--and even more, for the backlog decreasing (which biases results towards now, even though they were earlier). Obviously, it also has limitations, that is incomplete information for the duration of the backlog, but in any case, the results are encouraging.
