Today we got 4 days of COVID data plus corrections for a couple days before that. The recent increase in cases is now well established, with a recent flattening in the increase. Will that reverse and continue to increase, or go back to decreasing trend? We shall see. 
The big question is what caused this? A super spreader event (triva night?) after which we will see declines again? Variants of concern? Probably too early for such a sharp rise, we would expect to see a rise like this this later this month, not now.
Fraser and Vancouver Coastal are driving the recent trend, Interior has come down nicely and Northern also seems to wiggle their way down. Island is still on their path of slow increases.
Individual health regions show more volatility, Fraser is increasing quite uniformly, Vancouver is leading the rise in VCH. Island continue to see low rates in the South, with other regions showing higher rates.
Age groups show increases throughout, with a large recent jump in the 90+ age group. That age groups is quite small, so more volatile but this is not good.
Across Canada it appears that NL got their outbreak under control. Which is truly amazing, although we should wait for another week before declaring this over. BC and SK have traded places again, their switching was a very short-term trend that got washed out. MB declining again!
