The COVID-19 pandemic

Huh? Waterloo Region's or Ontario's? The numbers look better to me, WR has been having many days in the 30s in the past week, and Ontario seems to be dipping below 1000 consistently. Still not ideal but far better than the peak.

For WR, as per Tom's post; 281 new cases for the week (+3) So the previous 7 days would have been 278. Unless I am not understanding something. Also to add, our positivity rate is much higher than Ontario.

Ontario, though, is doing very good, with numbers dropping very fast.

281 cases from May 25 to May 31
vs
278 cases from May 24 to May 30

It's a small variation. Week over week, it's a much bigger difference.

281 cases from May 25 to May 31
vs
344 cases from May 18 to May 24

That's a solid 19% drop, week over week.
