The COVID-19 pandemic

[tomh009]

Waterloo Region reported three new cases over the past three days, or 0.2% of the total and 12.0% of the active cases. Active cases have crept back up to 25 (+1).

2,210 tests over the past four days for an average of 552 per day and a positivity rate of 0.41%. The seven-day average positivity rate is 3.0%.

Ontario reported just 33 net new cases today, an amazingly low number, but it includes a reduction of at least 25 previously-reported cases so I expect that the actual number of new cases is 60+. The seven-day average is 81. 75 recoveries and no deaths translated to a drop of 42 cases, taking us down to just 952 active cases. A weekly total change of -293. 21,581 tests for a 0.15% (net) positivity rate (this, too, is understated today). The positivity rate is averaging 0.32% for the past seven days.

The new cases are 0.1% of the total and 3.5% of the number of active cases. New cases averaging 7.7% of actives over the past seven days.

The ICU population is down to a new low of 21 (-4); the total hospital population is now roughly 60 -- it peaked at over 1,000.

• 10 cases in Windsor-Essex: 5.6 per 100K population
  
• 3 cases in Waterloo: 0.5 per 100K population
  

Toronto likely should be on the list, too, except for the corrections to the prior data.
