who is ready for some charts
Overall a moderately encouraging week in B.C. for reducing transmission, with the rolling average down 5% and active cases essentially stable, despite ongoing weird data corrections in different regions
The B.C. government provided the figures for one day of the number people still in hospital originally for #COVID19, but who no longer count to the daily total.
So we can't really chart that, but here's what it looks like in comparison for one day.
The good news in the past week was a decrease in case counts among most age groups.
The bad news was that got cancelled out by a big surge in cases among children under 10.
Again, lagging effects means that we're still seeing the result of the 4th wave surge when it comes to deaths.
4.86 a day over the last week, highest mark since the peak of the 3rd wave.
What has not changed in the last couple of weeks is the massive difference in health outcomes between people who have gotten the shot and people who haven't.
Adjusted for population, people in ICU are 44 times more likely to be unvaccinated compared to those fully vaccinated.
that's what I found particularly noteworthy this week, see folks next friday
