The COVID-19 pandemic

[tomh009]

514 new cases in Ontario today for a 6.1% increase; only 5.7% of the tests were positive (although more testing will always tend to reduce the percentage of positives). 290 recovered and 38 dead for a net addition of 186 active cases.

128,093 people tested to date, 9,001 more than yesterday; I think this may be a new daily high for the number of tests. 807 cases currently hospitalized (+12) and 248 in the ICU (-6). The projected mid-April ICU peak is clearly not here. Have we avoided or just delayed it?

Infections now reported at 104 long-term care homes (+6). How many homes remain to be checked?

Quebec added 997 cases today, up to 7% again, for the first time in six days. 148,571 tests done to date -- about 5,000 for the past day, less than Ontario. 1018 currently hospitalized (+24) and 209 in ICU (-9). Quebec has about 20% of its hospitalized cases in the ICU, whereas Ontario is at 31% (which is down significantly from a week ago).
