Nova Scotia已经放弃了有意义的Covid报告

There’s been a months-long degradation of COVID reporting in Nova Scotia.

Through November 2021, the data provided were relatively fulsome, and as a result I was able to produced quite detailed presentation of that data, which included:
• the number of new cases by health zone, age cohort, and gender
• deaths by health zone, age cohort, and gender
• the number of people hospitalized because of COVID, and how many were in ICU
•在新斯科舍省健康实验室施用的PCR试验总数，以及这些测试的积极率
•疫苗接种程序的日常状态，施用确切的第一和第二（然后第三）剂量
• the vaccination status of new cases, hospitalizations, and deaths
•详细的Covid曝光网站列表，包括学校曝光

当OMISCRON在12月份击中时，全省停止报告年龄队列和新案件的疫苗接种状态。这有点可理解，因为案例数量如此之大，即实验室落后于进入数据库，但也没有提供住院治疗和死亡的疫苗接种状态数据，直到我发出了一个公共问题那and the province reversed that decision.

然后，随着Lisa Barrett博士的压力，将住院数据扩大到包括在契约后仍然在医院的仍然存在的人，但谁不再具有传染性，并且在医院收缩了Covid的人。

As the wave increased, the province stopped reporting exposure sites. When school started in the new year, school-based cases stopped being reported.

On Jan. 3，卫生首席医学官Robert Strang博士说他personallywas leading a national charge to stop reporting daily case counts:

我周四在我上次全国电话上提出了这一问题。其他首席医务人员围绕每日案例计数的其他首席医务人员有很多支持，但也以一致的方式在时间和看起来的方式做到这一点。并致力于加拿大公共卫生机构的承诺，这些会议将其作为一个正在进行的议程项目 - 我们每周有两个电话，所以我期待着与全国各地的同事展现的谈话。

The last few weeks have seen记录Covid死亡计数in Nova Scotia, greater even than during the first wave, long before vaccines existed. But the daily COVID reports ended Friday.

To be honest, I was looking forward to the change. I have spent an awful lot of time over the last two years reporting daily COVID numbers, and it seemed a bit much, and besides, a weekly report would allow me to relay the same information to readers while better representing overall trends.

但我们没有得到相同的信息。

The province issued第一个每周Covid报告today. Weirdly, the reports issued on Thursdays will now cover the period from the Wednesday the week before to the previous Tuesday, so it’s dated on arrival, but besides that, it omits data about:
• demographic (age, gender, health zone) of those who have died in the reporting period
•住院时间的人口统计数据（年龄，性别，健康区）（虽然提供了中位年龄）
•在ICU中有多少人的医院有多少人
• how many people are still in hospital even though they’re no longer contagious
•有多少人在医院签订疾病
•新案例的人口统计数据（年龄，性别，健康区）
•在Nova Scotia Health Labs施用PCR试验，以及这些测试的积极率
•施用的确切，第二剂和第三剂量的疫苗

这可能使COVID已经消退into the background, but again: the past few weeks have seen record COVID death counts in Nova Scotia.
