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.
. We’ve been monitoring this virus so closely that if anything comes up, we’ll see it long before and can do focused restrictions, rather than complete shutdown.I think that having everything close down like in March is unlikely. we expect to see outbreaks here and there going forward — whether it’s at school, gyms, bars. People have to remember this doesn’t necessarily mean explosive spread overnight. It takes weeks to get there.
