COVID-19: We may yet get to where we need to be in testing - Ottawa Citizen

Article content continued

The more data health agencies compile across Canada, the more we’ll know about how the virus is circulating and whether parts of the country are actually developing significant immunity.

Certainly provinces have been affected in sharply different ways. The influence of Quebec’s early March spring break — two weeks earlier than in most other provinces — is well known. The return later in March of hundreds of thousands of snowbirds from the southern U.S. likely also contributed to the spread of the virus, particularly in Ontario and Quebec and, to a lesser extent, in Alberta.

B.C. witnessed an early outbreak of coronavirus across the border in Washington State, so its residents may have been more cautious earlier. Certainly B.C. — along with Saskatchewan, Manitoba and New Brunswick — have the lowest incidences of COVID-19 per capita and are closest to re-opening parts of their economies.

Even so, it’s little wonder many Canadians are still nervous about the idea of re-opening provincial economies. The coronavirus that causes COVID-19 has from the beginning displayed a disturbing ability to surprise us in a bad way. And there is much we still don’t know. Marc Desjardins and Paul Lem are doing their parts to change that.
