Ontario reports spike in new COVID-19 patients after two days of fewer than 300 cases

Health officials confirmed another 383 cases of the novel coronavirus on Thursday, as well as 34 more deaths.

The new patients bring the total number of lab-confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the province to 26,866, including 2,189 deaths and 20,673 recoveries. According to the epidemiological summary, eight of Ontario’s deceased COVID-19 patients were between the ages of 20 and 39. Eighty-seven of all deceased patients in the province were between the ages of 40 and 59 and 574 people were between the ages of 60 and 79.People 80 years of age or older continue to be the hardest hit age group with 1,520 deaths.

Any reason why you lead off you noon newscast with this story and didn’t mention increased testing causing the spike or the lowering of death and hospital admissions as has been the trend?

i ask any reader who reads this story to reply back how the math on percentages numbers make any sense.. 40 percent of this, 30 percent of that etc etc. Am i alone or does this crazy confusion put out by govt and poorly written articles drive ya nuts? Percentages usually = 100%

Did we get any BREAKING headlines when the cases were below 300 the last 2 says? I don’t recall seeing any...

There is no testing strategy. All data is ad hoc and anecdotal. Why is the press reporting this garbage out information without commenting on quality? Is testing increased in high infection areas of the city? How are LTC homes impacting concentration?

Practice physical distancing and stay at home. Stay home if you are sick. Wash your hands frequently.

Ontario and Quebec should have to reach the same case numbers per capita as other provinces before re opening

Milk your baby covid for a bit longer. Almost everyone sees through this BS now.

The “spike” in cases doesn’t matter; what’s important is the Rt value... And that’s under 1.0 for the first time in over a week.

ya a spike but more testing was done

So I take it John Tory has been tested?
