5,956 lab tests for Covid 19 processed in NS yesterday (plus 1,750 rapid tests in downtown Halifax - not sure how many at other rapid test sites in the city). So likey 8,000+ tests, almost all presumably asymptomatic. Lab tests 0.7ish% positivity.

Seeing raw case numbers go up is scary, but this is manageable and I think it can be squashed.

The large lists of potential contact sites are a reminder to limit trips into public if possible, but also a sign that testing and contact tracing are still working.

I am still worried about things like a lack of paid sick days, but public and community spread are manageable right now and the system is mostly working.

Honestly, I am feeling pretty okay about this all things considered.
