Today in the #AtlanticBubble

There were 28 new cases in the region today: 4 in Nova Scotia and 24 in New Brunswick.

There are now 167 known, active in the Atlantic region. ImageImageImageImage
PEI didn't report today, so they still have 8 known, active cases as far as I know. ImageImageImage
NFLD once again reported no new cases, and are currently sitting at just 9 known, active cases. ImageImageImageImage
NB reported 24 new cases today: 2 in Saint John, 5 each in Moncton, Edmundston, and Cambellton, and 7 in Fredericton.

The province's Chief Medical Officer described the situation as "grim."

Today's test positivity reached ~2%, which is quite high. ImageImageImageImage
There are 3 outbreaks in long-term or specialty care,and over 800 people isolating.

There are now 130 known, active cases in NB.
Lastly, NS reported 4 new cases today.

There was 1 each in the Eastern (close contact of an existing case) and Northern (travel-related) Zones. There were were 2 new cases in Halifax (both close contacts of known cases).

There are now 28known, active cases in NS. ImageImageImageImage
There were a handful of updates to the vaccination data today, but it's been slow in the region all week.

I'm going to do a breakdown of Nova Scotia's distribution numbers and different strategies, but have to write some code for it and probably can't tonight. ImageImageImageImage
That's it for tonight.

If you're in NB, please be extra careful. Avoid indoor, unmasked gatherings. Stick to members of your household as much as you can. Download the COVID Alert app if you haven't already.

Enjoy the rest of your Thursday!

I've got a few minutes while dinner is still cooking before I start work again.

Let's talk about vaccine distribution.

I post some version of this graph every day. Solid line is doses distributed to the province, dashed are doses administered. Shade is the difference. Easy. Image
Here's Ontario for comparison.

From this one graph, you can get a quick sense of how much a province *can* vaccinate and how quickly it *is* vaccinating given that constraint.

But there's bunch of information trapped in that shaded area. (Argh! Trapped data!) Image
The two SARS-CoV-2 vaccines currently in circulation are Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna.

They are both 2-dose mRNA vaccines. You get one dose and then the 2nd a set number of weeks later. After ~10 days you're at 95% lower risk of developing symptoms (hurray!).

I don't think I have any unique or particularly interesting thoughts, but here they are.

The Atlantic region has benefited from receiving a good hand at the start of the pandemic and playing that hand mostly pretty well.
Early on, the Atlantic region didn't have quite as many cases per capita as other parts of the country.

With our smaller, more rural population, than means we were closer to zero cases than almost anywhere in the country.
So, good starting position. We went in to the March/April lockdowns with about as many cases as other provinces had at their lowest points in the pandemic so far.
