This is Alberta if we don’t get COVID under control. Quite difficult when MLAs and political aids and press secretaries flout COVID public health orders, businesses remain open, and churches are pushing the boundaries of 15% capacity by about an extra 35% on a regular basis.

In other words, Alberta’s future and Alberta healthcare’s impending collapse is to be expected when the government and the entire political party that makes up the government refuses to take COVID seriously.
If you’re hoping to avoid catastrophic healthcare failure, now is the time to speak up.
But speaking alone is not going to accomplish a policy change.
Ontario has similar issues. Speaking up resulted in the scapegoat resignation and utterances of disappointment.

Alberta needs a full lockdown.
This is what Kenney released the other day.
We are NOT flattening the curve. It’s almost vertical.
We are in big big trouble and heading off a cliff.

The new COVID variant has been found all over the world. Soon it will replace the original covid threat.

Many believe this doesn’t pose any more threat to their health and safety.
You’re wrong. Please listen to the experts.
Exponentially more infections means exponentially more fatalities.
The new variant is a game changer.

It’s much worse that transmissibility is the change than mortality. Mortality would increase deaths significantly. But transmissibility means thousands more will contract the virus. With current mortality rates, thousands more will die as a result.
Using 50% more transmissible as an estimate, by a factor of 9.
Since this information was released, the transmissibility has been determined to have increased closer to 70%.
One thousand dead Albertans can turn into 10,000 dead Albertans in a matter of weeks.

Time is of the essence. We do not have a large window of time to force the UCP into implementing a full lockdown.
And if we don’t, the future of Alberta is guaranteed to include field hospitals and overall healthcare collapse.

Meaning lack of access to functioning healthcare is going to kill many more people than the virus.
To make things worse, our health minister & premier are slow walking the distribution of the vaccine. Refusing to hold back second dose to “maximize” numbers of people vaccinated.

There is an approved protocol of vaccination for a reason. One dose only provides minimal protection. If the second dose isn’t provided in the appropriate time frame, the vaccine is rendered next to useless as protection from infection.
So, speaking truth to power won’t be sufficient to work.
We must use more than our polite voice. We must demonstrate without leaving our homes. Call your employer and seek support to work from home. Call your MP. Call the Deputy PM and the PM and demand reinstatement of CERB.

Demand a full lockdown so businesses and employers can survive the next round of economic inactivity by accessing federal programs. Demand essential workers be given priority.
We watched US descend into chaos. But UK is going to be worse. Much worse.

I was moderately afraid the first wave. I’m terrified now. My husband is an essential worker. A 70% increase in transmissibility means it’s a matter of time before he brings it home. Which is basically a death sentence for me.
Citizens should not have to BEG for their lives and for measures to be taken to save lives.
The UCP government has forfeited the permission given to them to govern. The public MUST revoke that permission and demand federal intervention.

And for God’s sake don’t send your kids to school or daycare.
Children are perfect vectors of disease transmission. You want to see covid numbers explode? Put large groups of children in the same room together with a disease that’s increased 70% in transmissibility.

We are talking about human lives. Not livelihoods.
You can’t earn a livelihood if you’re dead or permanently disabled. And you sure as hell can’t raise your kids to adulthood from six feet under.

He’s more recent information about the new covid variant.
Your children have the highest risk of contracting it.

It means DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS GO TO SCHOOL.
