            Newfoundland and Labrador has two new cases of COVID-19 in the last 24 hours — the smallest single-day increase since March 21 — bringing the province's total to 228.

            "Our predictive analytics group will talk about what the future may hold," he said. "These are possibilities, these are probabilities, and they are looking at the future through a fuzzy telescope, through a fuzzy crystal ball."...
