The β€œother viral traces” graph says the latest data is from the 15th, not the 22nd. The graphs themselves also look very similar to those for the 15th. Is it possible that there was a hiccup somehow and that graph is actually the one from last week?

Hi Eric. Rick pointed me to your blog post (and I followed it to here). These are very difficult times and I have often wondered how you are doing and what your feelings are about what is going on right now. Do take care and I’ll try to do a better job keeping in touch.

Not to disagree with you on your main point, but that should be almost 2 trillion USD in *11* months. I almost fell off my chair but then re-read it and did the math. πŸ˜‰

Anything you can say about funding for wastewater testing for the fall? I went to Anita Vandenbeld’s Pre-Budget Consultation last night and spoke up about funding for it, suggesting that some federal support for the testing in Ottawa, in particular, would be good given the number of employees.
