1/ Windsor: entered its grey #Covid19on lockdown today, closed its schools for the week.

Across the border: while Michigan has eased up a little Ohio and Pennsylvania worsened significantly over the last two weeks. They're no Dakotas, but Ohio is 4th worst in US this week.
2/ Greater Toronto region: Peel and Toronto finally stabilized, York joins the lockdown; Hamilton and Durham nearly there.

Across the border: Buffalo (Erie) stable, but rising rates across nearby parts of New York. Rochester (Monroe) up 50% over last two weeks, almost 3x Peel.
3/ Southern Ontario: rural regions mostly all above 25 now.

Across the border: you can really see the worsening condition in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York in this map.

The tide is rising right next door. The prairie provinces buckled under these conditions.

Across the border: COVID rates are receding, finally, after a severe wave through the Dakotas and Minnesota.

ND: 1 of every 675 dead.
5/ North America: the USA's post-Thanksgiving growth is now visible: the biggest growth has been in the northeast and southeast, though rural Texas and California jump out at the eye first.

For Canadians, cross-border cases should remain a concern.
