Hospitalizations lag behind, but will also be fewer when better protecting nursing homes.

I'm not so sure if the increase will go back down quickly. It will go down a bit but maybe not to previous levels. That computer glitch might will have hidden a stable increase in infections. Mobility rates have gone up a bit since last time I checked.



Re-opening too soon before the infections are down to a low enough level and you end up staying at the same level or increasing again.

The computer glitch was in stockholm, that backlog that glitch caused all belongs to Stockholm, I see worldometer is reporting 114 cases for us yesterday, the media here says 948 cases, worldometer must be using bad source.

Our increase isn't because of the computer glitch from the look of it. The confirmed cases are growing in Västra Götaland where our second biggest city lies (Gothenburg).

But I don't think the spread of the virus is increasing, if you read one of my previous post, we are doing a lot more testing. In beginning of April we were doing 20k tests a week we now doing 36k tests a week.

500 Cases for Ontario isn't that much, I'm not sure why you guys are so careful, population is over 14 million over there. Västra Götaland only 1.7 million people :)
