Our data is at best generalized. It gives us trends, but it does not really map transmission. In order to take that and to implement something that makes sense for a community, for a small subsection, we need to have a better sense on the granular level.
We also need to look at sectors outside of just acute care. That's where the majority of surveillance data comes from, but right now—in southern Ontario for example—multiple hospitals, including our own, are seeing this trend of one particular pathogen increasing dramatically. If it's multiple hospitals all seeing the same trend, it's clearly not purely a hospital problem. There's a community element to that, but we really don't have any data looking at community transmission.
