Quick #COVID19 #Canada update going into the weekend. This was a heck of a week.🧵
Percent change in 7-day rolling average of cases compared to one week ago:
SK: +76.0% 📈 (7.1/day ➡️ 12.6/day)
QC: +62.7% 📈 (192.3/day ➡️ 312.9/day)
ON: +62.6% 📈 (184.9/day ➡️ 300.6/day)
MB: +22.5% 📈 (17.1/day ➡️ 21.0/day)
BC: +10.1% 📈 (114.1/day ➡️ 125.7/day)
A small part of this story is the reporting of old, backlogged cases in Montreal and Vancouver, but mostly what we’re seeing is exponential growth.

And no, it aint’t just the (presently overwhelmed) testing, bro.

There’s good news buried in here too. #Alberta appears to be plateauing.

NL: +100.0% 📈 (0.1/day ➡️ 0.3/day)
AB: +2.7% ➖ (134.4/day ➡️ 138.0/day)
NB: +0.0% ➖ (0.1/day ➡️ 0.1/day)
PE: -75.0% 📉 (1.1/day ➡️ 0.3/day)
NS: -100.0% 📉 (0.1/day ➡️ 0.0/day)
NU, NT, YT: 0/day ➡️ 0/day
Atlantic Canada and the Territories are doing fine. #NovaScotia's (implicit) elimination strategy appears to be working.

Deaths are starting to tick up in Canada’s three largest provinces.

% change in 7-day rolling average of deaths compared to 1 week ago:

BC: +400.0% 📈 (0.3/day ➡️ 1.4/day)
ON: +150.0% 📈 (0.6/day ➡️ 1.4/day)
QC: +125.0% 📈 (1.1/day ➡️ 2.6/day)
AB: -81.8% 📉 (1.6/day ➡️ 0.3/day)
Unsurprisingly, increased community transmission has led to outbreaks and deaths in nursing homes. What can be done? Ask @NathanStall. Remember, transmission among youth doesn’t stay among youth.

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.

regulations.gov/document/CDC-2…
This is like calling every article indexed on PubMed an "NIH study" but much, much worse.
