Knowing that the Cases/d metric is pretty much useless now thanks to limited testing, ftr cases/d Fri 4033, Sat 2642, Sun 1751, Mon 2951. 2/

Yest cases 2976 a 107% rised from 1440. Record cases of 4578 on 30 Dec. Remember these cases immensely underestimate true case rate in the province, thanks to undertesting, changed test criteria, holiday period, RATs being done at home, etc. 2/
7d ave 3479 a 92.4% incr wk over wk from 1808. positivity 36.1% (record for pandemic) compared with 21.86% last Mon. Calgary at 39.8%, Edmonton a close second at 36.93%. 3/

it began with the 3rd wave. Our leaders oblivious despite having evidence from previous waves of how exponential growth worked, making it predictable, and how to stop it through mitigation policies, making it preventable. #predictableandpreventablewave. 2/
Then the fourth wave. The attempt to cause herd immunity by allowing it to run rampant through our population, especially the kids. And h/t to @sarahkendzior and @AndreaChalupa for pointing out that cruelty is the purpose. The #intentionallycruelwave 3/
