It's really confusing. The timing is different, that's one factor. And the province reports a single number whereas the region often adjusts the prior days' numbers (though not by as much as before). I'm looking at publishing weekly numbers to reduce the impact of the confusion.
And then the regional numbers don't quite add up. The total number of cases is 11 higher than the sum of active cases, recovered cases and deaths. What happened to those 11?
However, in the end it's noise. Mostly our data is decent, and I appreciate that everyone has found a way to make it available so that we can se what's happening.
