1/ City of #Toronto Covid-19 variants of concern. 7 day average of cases screened for spike mutation plus confirmed variants of concern as a portion of overall cases, by episode date.

2/ The chart above is the best representation of the status of VOC that I can produce with public data. It comes from Toronto's Covid Status of Cases page. They have a chart showing screened and confirmed voc cases by episode date. I combine this with cases by episode date...
3/ from their public covid case dataset. It is important to use episode date because the cases announced as screened + for spike mutation, and confirmed as voc on a given day, are not necessarily (in fact rarely) cases from the same day. From watching these numbers closely...
4/ for the last several weeks I have noticed that voc #s announced today result in changes to daily counts going back weeks, even months in the case of voc confirmed by genomic screening. So it's the only way to get a true picture of voc growth and proportion of overall cases.
5/ Ontario has a similar chart but I can't read the numbers to compare them with overall case numbers.
6/6 ON also has a very good chart that shows voc as a % of cases for the province as reported. Problem is as I said earlier voc reported are not for the current day. (last 2 charts are from the ON daily epidemiological summaries)
