Testing

This article says that yesterday was a record-breaking testing day, especially in Abbotsford. 45% of today’s cases were in Fraser.

Reporting

For some reason, the fact that the province only counts people who are currently contagious with COVID-19 in their hospitalization numbers is getting attention right now. The policy means that we don’t know how many people who went into the hospital for COVID-19 are still there.

This is not news, I’ve known about this for months (and I think I mentioned it here), so I don’t know why people are making a fuss now.
