We've pretty low number in our healthcare network, Leeds, Grenville, & Lanark. We are slowing down the curve. 

Our premier won't share data by postal code, to help nail down the details.  Nor will he allow things to open up where there are few or no cases. There is much lobbying going on for this. I think he'll cave. 

The hot spot in Ontario is Toronto. They've put out detailed geographic locations. This is good data. It will help to flatten the curve.
