The Ministry of Health reports 195 new cases of COVID-19 Friday for the 24-hour period ending at midnight. It is a substantial spike over Thursday’s 103 and is assigned by many experts to careless socializing by under-40s. Others scoff and say 195 cases out of a population of 14.57 million isn’t much. And it isn’t. But it’s that kind of thinking that created a daily death toll of more than 500 a day in the US so far in July.
Ontario is reporting 195 cases of #COVID19, a 0.5% increase. Locally, 26 of 34 PHUs are reporting five or fewer cases, with 15 of them reporting no new cases. There are 27 new cases in Ottawa and 57 new cases in Windsor-Essex. 128 or 66% of today’s cases are under the age of 40.
