Today in the #AtlanticBubble

18 new cases were reported in the region today: 7 in Nova Scotia and 11 in New Brunswick.

11/19 were traced at the time of reporting (ooof)

There are now 213 known, active cases in in Atlantic Canada.
It's the weekend, so I'm reporting on testing.

The region's test positivity rate was 0.27% this week.
PEI didn't update their numbers today, so there are still 13 known, active cases in PEI.
PEI's test positivity rate this week was 0.19%. Testing is down a bit after their recent cluster seems to have cleared (fingers crossed).
NL isn't reporting this weekend because of the holiday, so as far as anyone knows there are still 4 known, active cases in NL.
NL's test positivity rate for the week was 0.14%.
NB reported 11 new cases today: 2 in the Saint John area (1 close contact of an existing case and 1 related to travel), and 9 in the Edmundston area (2 close contacts of existing cases and 7 under investigation).

There are now 162 known, active cases in NB.
Updated case levels and restrictions map for NB and case timeline at the health region level for NB with Edmundston emphasized.
NB's test positivity rate this week was 0.8%
NS reported 7 new cases today: 1 travel related case in the Eastern zone, 3 close contacts of existing cases in the Western zone, and 3 in the Halifax area (1 travel-related and 2 close contacts).

There are now 34 known, active cases in NS.
NS test positivity rate for the week was 0.11%.
Here's the updated pandemic timeline for the Atlantic region and surrounding areas.

Western NS is visible on the map - it seems a group of migrant workers in isolation have tested +.

Things getting steadily worse in both Maine and the parts of Quebec adjacent to New Brunswick.
Provincial and Territorial Vaccine Roll-Out

Top of the ribbon is doses distributed, bottom is doses administered.

The higher the ribbon goes, the more people are being vaccinated. The wider it gets, the more doses sit unused.

National ribbon outlined in black.
Vaccine Roll-Out Metrics

1st graph is percent of distributed doses that have been used.

2nd graph shows how many days since each province had enough doses to cover their current usage.

3rd graph shows percent of eligible population that is newly vaccinated each day.
This animation shows each province's vaccination pace as a percent of the pace they need to each 80% first dose coverage by the end of June (based on how many they have already vaccinated and how much time is left.

Older data becomes less visible over time.
Here is each province's coverage of the eligible population by at least one dose (2nd graph shows the Territories).
% eligible with at least one dose / % eligible that can get a first dose with what's in storage right now:

BC: 15.9% / 4.6%
AB: 15.4% / 5.5%
SK: 18.5% / 1.9%
MB: 12.9% / 12.5%
ON: 16.8% / 3.2%
QC: 20.8% / 7.0%
NB: 15.6% / 4.6%
NS: 9.7% / 9.4%
NL: 13.1% / 3.6%
PEI: 13.4% / 5.0%
NB is now the fastest vaccinating province, QC has passed 20% with most of the country in hot pursuit, and NS should pass 10% early this week. Nice!
That's it for tonight's update.

It's a holiday so you may be out and about more than usual and visiting family from out of town. Make sure to swing by and get tested if that's available where you are.

Have a great rest of the holiday weekend!

Weekly COVID-19 US and Canada Summary

Cases are taking off in parts of Canada and the US. Deaths haven't started ticking up yet.
This animation shows cases per capita for each US region and Canada.

The shaded interval is the regional minimum and maximum rates for each region, the line is the regional rate.

Obvious increases in Canada, US north-east and mid-west. Some top rate increase in south and west.
And here's the equivalent for deaths per capita.

Death rate is up a bit in the US north-east and the top-rate has increased in Canada, by a smidge (scientific term).

*cheap kazoo music*

PHAC doesn't update it's data on holidays and half of provinces are reporting anyways, so my data pipeline is a bit broken for today.

So the #AtlanticBubble update will be a little low key...
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.

Today in the #AtlanticBubble

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.

There are now 335 known, active cases in NL.
