Confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Canada jumps nearly 30% in 24 hours
i predicted this rise in numbers last night. the number of cases has also jumped almost 500% in the last week. 3 out of 4 of the most affected provinces continue to report 0 "probable cases". which means they are not tracking down the spread of the virus. just reporting new cases as test results come in. the Epidemiological summary hasnt been updated yet today, but when it is i expect to see a shift from a majority of cases contracted by travelers, or people with close contact with travelers, to a majority of cases contracted in a "community setting". if this trend continues, which i expect it will, i could see POTUS closing the northern border entirely to prevent further spread in the U.S.
