– The flu-like illness that has swept Canada this year, killing more than 10,000 people, may be on the wane. A new report from an advisory committee to Ontario’s government says that based on computer modeling, the number of new cases and hospital admissions may flatten out between 800 and 1,200 per day, Reuters reports. “We’re starting to see a more gentle curve,” says Adalsteinn Brown, dean of the school of public health at the University of Toronto. “A thing that is important to emphasize though, is that this disease, because it can spread so quickly with these super-spreader events, can dramatically turn, and you can have rapid, rapid growth.” Still, he warns, “This is one of the places where we have the greatest vulnerability to infection, and the greatest consequences of infection.”
