a Q from Global for Dr Hinshaw about no. of outbreaks being high in Day Cares. Dr says they're looking for patterns or trends that indicate add'l measures needed. Mentions variants.

- isn't AHS simply doing sample testing for variants? Wouldn't more testing for variants help?

another good source, good 'follow' (IMHO) is @BarbLarochelle

8/
- all of this talk about urban v rural, would've been unnecessary if health officials, Health Min Shandro & premier Kenney, hadn't articulated a belief that Covid-19 was a regional prob, refusing to mandate province-wide measures, until pressured into it.

another good follow, for Alberta politics and Covid-19 news is @CGriwkowsky

I was wondering the same thing as @EmmaLGraney
