OTTAWA
Daily and Cumulative Cases
(blue bars: daily cases; red bars: cumulative)
Daily Cases
Predictions for Ottawa: 1 day/1 Week
A simple approximation with a polynomial of order 6 using least squares method; R² = 0.99; computed daily based on new data available gives the following predictions:
Predicted number of total detected cases/deaths June 29: 2087/263
Predicted number of total detected cases/deaths July 5: 2112/268
The numbers above are based on official detected cases only; there are many more in the community. Using Pueyo’s models, these are the estimations for the Ottawa area. This estimation, although imprecise, uses average spread rates, mortality rates, average response of the medical system. It is a more accurate depiction of the number of cases in the area as of today/1 week:
Estimated number of total true cases up to June 28: 18.8K
Predicted number of total true cases up to July 5: 19.1K
ONTARIO
Daily and Cumulative Cases
(blue bars: daily cases; red bars: cumulative)
Daily Cases
Predictions for Ontario: 1 day/1 Week.
A simple approximation with a polynomial of order 4 using least squares method; R² = 0.97; computed daily based on new data available gives the following predictions:
Predicted number of total detected cases/deaths June 29: 34827/2664
Predicted number of total detected cases/deaths July 5: 36100/2713
The numbers above are based on official detected cases only; there are many more true cases in the community. Using Pueyo’s models, these are the estimations for the Province of Ontario. This estimation, although imprecise, uses average spread rates, mortality rates, average response of the medical system. It is a more accurate depiction of the number of cases in the area as of today/1 week:
Estimated number of total true cases up to June 28: 189.8K
Predicted number of total true cases up to July 5: 193.7K
NOTE: The page only reports confirmed cases and simple estimations on true number of total cases. There are thousands of cases unreported (and even asymptomatic; the diagrams only include tested/detected/reported cases from official sources).
