June 1 COVID-19 Update

Nova Scotia Update:
0 new deaths
0 new hospitalizations, 1 released (6 total)
0 new ICU cases (2 total)
1 new case (1057 total)
626 tests done
3 new recoveries (984 total)
13 active cases (-2, 1.23% of cases are active, 98.77% are concluded)

NS has 0 new deaths today. 53/60 (88%) NS deaths are from Northwood and 57/60 (95%) are from long term care in general (11 different facilities have reported cases, just Northwood with active cases). Outside of LTC, the story is the same - NS continues to perform very well day after day with just 1 death in the last 37 days and limited, if any new cases. Yesterday, 626 tests were completed with 1 new case reported. 98.77% of ALL cases since day 1 are now concluded. As of today, there are just 13 active cases in TOTAL, NONE of which are outside LTC. Due to the delay in Northwood data, they still show 14 active cases whereas there are actually only 13 active cases total. I wouldn't put too much stock in the 0 active cases outside LTC as tomorrow Northwood could report up to 3 recoveries which would still leave a couple active outside LTC.

- NS has 60 deaths, making the death rate 60/1M population
- Canada's rate sitting at 194/1M
- Global rate is 48/1M
- US rate is 318/1M
- Austria rate is 75/1M
- *Spain is 578/1M
- Sweden is 430/1M

Notable points for today:
- Spain's new data strategy may mean their data takes a few days to iron out as it bounces around until they get it right. For now, I'll just continue to report on their totals as the daily data won't have much meaning at the moment.
- Austria reports 0 deaths for the 3rd day in a row. 28/29 days under 1% including 21/23 under 0.5%.
- The rate of increase in Canada dropped back again to well under 1%. This marks 17 days in a row at 2.1% or less. The graphs will show a spike today due to a glitch in Quebec reporting that meant 165 additional deaths were added today that should have been added over the last few days. Yesterday there were just 57 deaths in Canada which is the lowest single day total since April 9 and lowest rate of increase since this all began.
- The US rate of increase fell to just 0.5%. They are at 24 days in a row under 2.12%, 17 in a row under 2%, 7 of them under 1%.
- Sweden reported 0 deaths for the first time, meaning 18 of the last 23 days are under 2% including 13 of the last 16 and last 4 in a row.
