Is this really a bug? Covid outbreak scare!

2020-10-24

On Oct 9th, there was a screenshot being shared on social media showing that there was an increase of 66 cases of Covid-19 in New Brunswick, Canada. Which is quite high. On further investigation by @MageeCBC it was discovered that the data came from an incorrect Wikipedia entry which was scraped by Bing and then shared across social media. Nat and Suhaim debate whether this is a bug or not.
