Dr. Hinshaw asked about vaccine timelines.

Says they are working with partners (inc feds); date is a moving target, but whenever it is available, they will be ready to vaccinate those high on the priority list.

Why are Banff and Lake Louise seeing such high case numbers?

Hinshaw says Calgary AHS folks would know more about that specific spread.

But says staff accommodations could be risky (even though this isn't necessarily a reason in this case)
How will system create 400 ICU beds and 2,000 acute beds?

Hinshaw says work is underway to expand capacity in continuing care system, adding that some non-urgent surgeries are getting delayed.

Why are cases spiking outside of #yeg and #yyc?

Hinshaw says what we're seeing in Edmonton and Calgary are similar to the challenges popping up in smaller markets (eg people indoors, COVID complacency, relaxation)

"Our current situation is grim," says Dr. Deena Hinshaw, to start the presser on a dark note.
Hinshaw points to two men in their 30s who died this week as a result of COVID.
