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.
