1 new case of COVID-19 is announced in Nova Scotia today (Sunday, March 14) 1/

The case is in the Central Zone. It is a man aged 20-39. 2/

There are now 18 known cases in the province. 1 person is in hospital with the disease, but not in ICU. 3/

Nova Scotia Health labs conducted 2,456 tests yesterday. Vaccination numbers are not provided on the weekend. 4/

The Dept of Health has revised down yesterday's case numbers, from 5 to 4, removing the Central Zone case that was under investigation. No explanation is provided for that, and I wonder if it is today's case 5/

Ah, here it is: "The case reported in Central Zone yesterday, March 13, that was under investigation has been removed due to a data entry error. There were four new cases yesterday, not five." I noted yesterday data was incorrect. We all make mistakes. 6/

Today's case is related to travel outside Atlantic Canada.

Here is the graph of daily new cases and the 7-day rolling average (today at 1.6):

The first three COVID cases in Nova Scotia tested positive a year ago today, March 14, 2020 (they were announced the next day, March 15). A lot of stuff has happened since.

Hindsight being 20-20, it's easy to criticize after the fact. People were initially really scared and really confused, scientists and public health officials included, so mistakes and miscues were understandable.

But I always saw closing parks and beaches (and ticketing people for doing stuff like sitting on benches) was a horrible idea. And encouraging people to return to Canada I think (not sure on this one) was probably a bad idea.

On this date (March 2) in 1835, Joe Howe defended himself on charges of seditious libel in the courtroom that is now the legislative library at Province House 1/

Howe had used his newspaper, The Nova Scotian, to call out corruption among the magistrates in Halifax, and they in turn charged him with libel. The judge instructed the jury to convict, but after Howe's 6-hour defence, they found him not guilty. 2/

Some commentators, and I think this starts with John Ralston Saul, Canada's public philosopher, have attributed the trial to the beginning of freedom of speech in Canada. I don't know enough about legal history to know how true that is, but the idea is widely accepted 3/
