Want to know what #COVID19 looks like in #Canada? @ishaberry2 and I are pleased to announce the release of two data sources: a curated spreadsheet of case info and a dashboard to visualize Canadian data, link below. 👇

art-bd.shinyapps.io/covid19canada/
The first tab provides an overview of the situation in Canada: reported cases, recoveries, deaths, number of people tested, and the distribution of cases by province. Image
The next tab shows the timeline of reported cases in Canada (we are likely to see more cases this evening). Reported cases are a lagging indicator of infection—these represent transmission from the past few weeks, since it takes time for people to develop symptoms and get tested. Image
The final tab shows a map of cases across Canada. Each point represents the total number of reported cases in a particular region (e.g., Toronto, Calgary, Durham, etc.), not individual cases. Image
We hope to add more features to the dashboard in the coming weeks. We’d love to hear your feedback and for you to let us know what you’d find most useful.
We plan on updating the raw data every evening (EDT). It can be viewed and downloaded at the link below. Please make use of it and cite where appropriate! 👇

Thank you to @JWright159 and everyone else helping to keep this list up to date. Thank you also to our PhD supervisor @DFisman and infectious disease modeller extraordinaire @AshTuite for their fantastic work during this pandemic. Give them a follow to learn more!
Remember, it’s up to all of us to help #FlattenTheCurve, which means practicing #SocialDistancing. This thread is a good place to start. 👇

It would be negligent of me not to mention the huge assist from @rstudio, @hadleywickham, and the #rstats community in general for bringing this project to life! #Rshiny really is a fantastic tool for interactive dashboards.

I encourage everyone to read this thoughtful 🧵 about the worrying precedent set by the invocation of the Emergencies Act in Canada to freeze people out of the financial system without due process. /1
The order for financial service providers (banks, credit cards, crowdfunding platforms, etc.) to freeze the accounts of anyone associated directly or "indirectly" with the protest gives the government extremely wide latitude to act. /2

As the author points out, the ability to exercise your constitutionally protected rights (freedom of expression, assembly, religion, etc.) is often underpinned by the ability to transact. Exercising your rights costs money! /3

One thing that has bugged me since the beginning of the pandemic: how did the CDC get sidelined so completely? How did Dr. Fauci, the head of an agency almost no one had ever heard of, become the public face of the COVID response, while CDC Dir. Redfield had almost 0 presence?
Is it as simple as NIAID being in the D.C. Metro area whereas the CDC is situated away from Washington, in Atlanta? (Thanks to Coca-Cola president Robert Woodruff, incidentally)
Maybe @DFisman has some insight on this one.

Hey. I’ve been working on #COVID19 #OpenData for a while now, but the time has come to think bigger. Today I’m announcing the launch of a new project: What Happened? COVID-19 in Canada

Let’s build a unified platform for COVID-19 data in Canada. Together.

whathappened.coronavirus.icu Image
This project has three pillars: a definitive timeline, a comprehensive archive and pandemic storytelling.
1. There’s a ton of #COVID19 #OpenData out there and we want to stitch it into one definitive dataset covering cases, vaccination, hospitalizations and every other relevant metric. To succeed, we will need to design a standardized way to assemble and present COVID-19 data.

Well done, @UofT:
✅ 99% have first dose 💉
✅ 94% are fully vaccinated 💉💉

How do other universities in Canada measure up? #COVID19 #vaccine @UofT_dlsph Image
...among the 76,000 students, staff and faculty that have declared their status. It's not clear how many HAVEN'T declared their status (and thus what the overall vaccination rate is). Waiting for answers from @UofT on this one.

Please stop linking to this garbage report as "CDC confirms #COVID19 #vaccines have killed at least 150,000 Americans."

Yes, it's posted on a .gov website. Anyone is allowed to submit comments on articles printed in the Federal Register, which are then posted to regulations.gov alongside the original document.

This is like calling every article indexed on PubMed an "NIH study" but much, much worse.
