The COVID-19 pandemic

[plam]

Quebec kept its restaurants open longer, but there are also differences in the timing/origins of returning travellers.  If the latter is a factor, Ontario might see a big jump next week, although one hopes not.

Quebec's spring break was over on the 8th, well more than two weeks ago, so the vast bulk of people should have returned a long time ago, and the infections should have been apparent already last week or before.

Our break was later, but I have to believe that by that time it started, most people had already canceled due to COVID-19.

Looking at the calendar, if people were back on March 8, they could have been incubating for a week (March 15) and then got tested towards the end of week 2 (March 22) so that we would see the results about now. The Quebec premier certainly advanced the early March Break hypothesis.
