Canada's second wave will not be nearly as high as the first wave or as drastic as outbreaks in the U.S.

The case numbers back in March and April weren’t accurate, as the testing capacity for cases was low. The people who were getting tested were only those sick enough to get tested. So there was probably more than the recorded [overall] case number, probably eight times more. Now, we’re at around 100 cases a day. So think about how different that is; the risk is a lot smaller.
