Both the existing data and Dr. Colijn’s projections appear to be in agreement with other studies, including one posted online on Tuesday by a U.S.-Canadian team that considers how public awareness of the pandemic is influencing rates of infection. Instead of infection curves rising and falling in a symmetrical fashion such models project a steep rise going in followed by a long shoulder or plateau going out.
That’s the message from public health officials as well. Dr. Horacio Arruda, Quebec’s public health director warned residents on Friday against letting their guard down as the province detailed plans to lift restrictions on museums, libraries and drive-in move theatres. Warmer weather, he said, might tempt people to ignore the rules.
