Health unit warns of increase in COVID-19 in east Lanark County Patrons of the Thirsty Moose, Carleton Place, may have been exposed to virus
They think it originated in a private party, they moved to the Thirsty Moose Pub, and spread through the community, to sports teams, businesses, school and day care.

JB checked the US stats, and found the 6th worst US states are at infection rates of over 100 cases per 100,000. ND 175/100,000; but if Peel Health Unit was a US state it might be #4; Toronto would be #10.

The age distribution of people with COVID depends on how you test! Only test symptomatic people and you'll believe older people are more likely to be infected. Test randomly, like in Iceland, and realize young people are more likely to get it and also to have low or no symptoms.— Joaquin Quiñonero Candela (@jquinonero) April 1, 2020

There are three confirmed new cases of COVID-19 in Ottawa this morning. That means there is a total of 13 in the capital. Ontario is up to 172 active cases and five people whose cases are "resolved" and aren't contagious any longer. Ottawa's medical officer of health has asked people to limit "non-essential" travel outside homes and to avoid crowds if they go to the store, park or on a walk. Dr. Vera Etches said there could be 200 to 1,000 cases in Ottawa, given that many are likely undetected.

Another interesting point... while South Korea has reported
Iran is a case in point. The minister and deputy minister of health in Iran gave a press conference stating that they didn't have a problem. The deputy minister was wiping his brow, and was diagnosed with it himself. Iran has reported 388 cases (Feb. 29), but...
Their findings: Iran likely didn’t have tens of cases of COVID-19, as was officially reported. It probably had somewhere closer to 18,300.

JB went for toilet paper. The shelves were really low. That is the most peculiar phenomenon.
We've finally tested positive for COVID-19 in Ottawa, our closest city. It is in 5 provinces, so far. There were 42 cases in Ontario, 113 in Canada; 1322 in the US. The USA isn't testing citizens freely, however. There are a lot of Americans complaining online that their rules around testing are very limited. Canadians coming back from the US have brought the virus here. The only way to get on top of this pandemic is to identify it and isolate carriers.

New York officials traced more than 50 coronavirus cases back to one attorney
17 people in two days- Just two days after the man's positive results, on March 4, his 20-year-old son, a student at New York's Yeshiva University, also tested positive. School officials said he was showing symptoms of the virus.
- The wife and 14-year-old daughter of the attorney both also tested positive on the same day.
- So did the neighbor who drove him to the hospital.
- And a friend of the attorney.
- The friend's wife, two sons and daughter tested positive that day too.
- The day after, on March 5, the governor says eight other people connected to the attorney tested positive for the virus.
