Yeah, we're doing okay. Hopefully we get the peak out of the way soon.
13k in Canada so far, which would be around 130k if you compared our population to the USA, which is at 308k and going straight up.

Even a bit better. The US has 8.6x the population of Canada. Scaling up for population, Canada would have 111K cases right now at the US' population. That's also with a much more rigorous testing regime in place so is probably closer to not being pure fiction than the US number is with the disclaimer that all of these numbers are pretty fictitious. The butcher bill will be known by the end though.

I can tell you LA is taking it pretty seriously. The city is dead. I’m actually at the office right now and went down earlier to the nearby mall to get some food. Other than the grocery store, absolute crickets other than a few people just our walking (it’s an outdoor mall).
I’m biased because I want things to not get bad here, but I’m objectively optimistic I think just based on the lack of activity outside.

Only 218 deaths so far. Seems pretty good. Much smaller countries have more cases and a lot more deaths.
But it'll probably get uglier when the case load overwhelms our health care capacity.

I'm not sure if this is just a statistical blip or not, but Ontario came in under the 3 day average today for new cases
1st: 426
2nd: 401
3rd: 462 (3 day average of 430)
4th: 375
It's hard to say with testing backlogs getting sorted and the pretty big increase in cases potentially being a function of those larger numbers (there was a pretty solid jump from previous announced levels) whether or not this is a decrease or just noise with how the numbers were generated.
It's a cause for mild optimism though until we see otherwise.

Keep your distance. The research is all over the place. 6 feet might not be enough.
Richard Corsi, a Portland State University dean, has studied the spread of COVID-19 through both large and tiny droplets in the air and recommends people stay 20 feet away from each other when they’re outdoors.
Indoors, where ventilation is much worse, Corsi recommends extreme caution and carrying out essential tasks like grocery shopping when truly necessary.
“I don’t think we’re being safe enough,” he said. “People need to understand that the airborne route, that’s a serious transmission pathway.”
Corsi’s advice is bolstered by a study published las week in the Journal of American Medicine by a Massachusetts Institute of Technology researcher. It found that the virus can travel as far as 27 feet indoors when somebody sneezes and remain floating in the air for hours, waiting for the next person passing by to breathe it in.
