We are being manipulated in AB.
It seems to be working.
Working to bolster policy-makers & lobby groups, I mean.
They want us to think COVID is over, or at least not that bad. It's a deceitful narrative that is killing us, b/c so many believe them.

/2 Gov of AB wants us to believe COVID cases are not so high comparatively, and anyway it's "just" Omicron, the 'mild' one, right? Seems safe enough, esp for those who vaxxed and/or were recently infected (the combination being over 80% of all Albertans) alberta.ca/stats/covid-19…
/3 It's a trick. An optical illusion.
Low prevalence leads to low case numbers.
But so does low testing. AB cut testing to ludicrously low rates. AB has the lowest per capita testing of all the large provinces in Canada, 1/2 the national avg.
