NB reported 9 new cases today: 2 in Saint John (both still under investigation) and 7 in Edmundston (5 close contacts of existing cases and 2 under investigation).
Maine is becoming a dumpster fire again, so mass testing in communities along the border is prudent.
153 active.
Not to leave out Quebec, which is also becoming a dumpster fire.
Actually I can do the map manually.
Testing along the border would be great, I say to no one in particular.
The Great Big Canadian Pandemic Summary Thread (as promised)
Some of us are heading into a 3rd wave of the pandemic, so I though a recap of where we've all been might be worthwhile.
The first part is going to summarize each province at the health-region level...
For all the graphs, I have the national range in the background in grey: the bottom is the lowest per capita rate by any health region and the top is the highest per capita rate.
So everything will be visible on the same scale.
Examples:
For the cumulative graphs, I've tinkered with the size of the lines so that health regions that make up a larger share of their province's population will be larger/more prominent, although not quite to scale.
The 2nd part will look at how much population matters in a pandemic.
There were 19 new cases reported in the region today: 1 in New Brunswick, 8 in Nova Scotia, and 10 in Newfoundland and Labrador.
There are now 414 known, active cases in the Atlantic region.
There was no update in the numbers in PEI today, leaving the province with 3 known, active cases.
The two travel-related cases from yesterday are (unsurprisingly) linked to the Toys R Us exposure notice, suggesting breach of isolation. Cases forwarded to enforcement.
NL reported 10 new cases today, all in the Eastern health region.
There are no presumptive cases awaiting confirmation.
