I'm wondering what's going on here atm. We didn't do anything new apart from a couple counties making masks mandatory indoors while opening up nearly everything else. The reported cases suddenly started dropping, today only 33 in Ontario (although still 15K pending tests). Great but how did we go from a 160 average to 33 in 3 weeks while opening up things and mobility trends further increasing. A week ago we were still over 100 average.
Meanwhile the outbreak in our local hospital with at least 2 staff members testing positive, unrelated to each other, only raised the counter for our county by one. A glitch? Did they find yet how they got it... Why is the call center still experiencing high call volumes and delays if everything is suddenly going so well.
The reported cases going down is great and makes opening the schools in 3 weeks look a lot more promising. Yet some things simply don't add up. Either this virus behaves really weird or we're not testing all that efficiently.
And time is ticking...

Fall, winter coming here. You guys are going into summer, should get better. (Although I guess you don't really have a winter anyway)
