Very interesting statistics. Once we stopped getting new cases from the sick apartment complex the number of new cases seemed to drop encouragingly.

However, the number of new cases each day is still quite high. If the current containment measures are working, we should see a significant drop in new cases by the middle of next week.

On the other hand, it is still too soon for new patients infected by the apartment complex patients to start showing up. Since the new restrictive measures were not in place during part of the time these people may have been contagious, we could see a spike in cases simply from that source. If we do, it would not necessarily mean that the quarantine attempt will fail.

It would be nice to have access to the raw data. For instance, how many of the people infected on or before March 15th have been released, died, are in intensive care, on ventilators, etc.?

Even without having access to the raw data, it is readily apparent that most people are spending a long time in the hospital. The total number of recovered+dead patients is less than the total number of cases on March 19th.
