davemerrillThe last time I did one of these number roundups was almost a year ago. This is what it looked like last December:
worldwide cases: 65,395,834
worldwide deaths: 1,509,544
US cases: 14,149,770
US deaths: 276,406
Canada cases: 399,770
Canada deaths: 12,423
Ontario cases: 125,233
Ontario deaths: 3,727
what does it look like now?
worldwide cases: 254,910,151
worldwide deaths: 5,122,686
US cases: 47,414,651
US deaths: 767,324
Canada cases: 1,765,163
Canada deaths: 29,485
Ontario cases: 617,057
Ontario deaths: 10,003
To be honest I don't even know what these numbers mean any more. More cases, fewer deaths? More vax, fewer hospitalizations? Ontario's daily numbers spiked in the spring, went down in the summer, spiked again around Labor Day, and have been going down ever since. Our numbers have been in the hundreds of new cases per day, 512 new cases today. It's been bouncing around 250-400-600 for the past week or so.
We'll be driving down to Atlanta for a short Christmas visit and we'll likely have to have the PCR test again before we cross back. I'm hoping things will keep trending downwards.
