1/ What does the data show about the recent #Ottawa #COVID19 surge?

Geography: while Alta Vista has the highest case rate over the entire epidemic, Ward 10 Gloucester-Southgate appears to be driving the last two weeks of growth.
2/ Demographics: @ottawapublichealth hasn't pointed the finger at any single group, just parties and "indoor private gatherings" in general.

The data agrees - apart from a spike in teenage activity at end of June / Canada Day weekend, and a 20s spike in the last week.
3/ Private indoor gatherings folks. Stay outside, keep the group sizes down.
4/ Data notes: Ottawa Public Health's dashboard is beautiful and informative - but it's surprisingly hard to get out a time series of its indicators, and hard to get a "snapshot in time" for any given 1-2 week period. My kingdom for an archive of PDFs!
5/ Perhaps I should be a bit more careful speaking about age groups: while the 20-29 group has only been disproportionate during this last week, it's a biiig effect.
