What are Ontario and Quebec doing. How could they allow a second wave in nursing homes to happen. Shame on them.

That has to be the case. The deaths / case numbers "today" are so bad there is no other explanation



And of course it is their numbers keeping Canada overall  as high as it is

It's terrible.

I read last week that ON & Quebec was so bad for Care Home operations  that they have been unable to fix it much since the spring disaster



Obviously their Govts. have not had proper rules and enforcement over several years leading up to now





BC did get hit early but moved on it fast and hard and greatly slowed it down even during the initial wave (as much lower death rates currently show).



I think it's 2 fold. They moved hard and fast + were far better all along ... without both, they could not have slowed it so well





Alberta always is good on things like that & it showed from beginning and now in low rates as cases rise fast over the recent weeks





I see Manitoba with only  1.37 million people is increasing in cases extremely rapidly of late (in fact has caught up to and surpassing us in BC at the moment & death rate from the beginning has been comparable to Alberta.

We'll see if that rate continues now that they are getting such a high ratio of new cases

Manitoba did better than most in the first wave. Not now.

Yes. Manitoba cases rising very fast now - I truly hope your death rate remains very low as it did initially



Mind you, when cases are rising fast and I didn't record older data, I can only use today data which distorts the actual rate - as cases have risen and deaths appear later , one gets a skewed to the low side view of rate

PM Boris Johnson has hinted more restrictions..



Italy had 31,000 new infections yesterday, so they might see a second lock down.

There are also two additional hospitals  in Calgary with units under watch..

Daily data in Alberta was not given out for Sat, Sun & Mon due to website work going on



The last one displayed in full, Friday, was up in all areas



Our BC cases continue to rise considerably over that period, although to date somewhat below Alta
