THREAD: Dr. Bonnie Henry released the latest epidemiological modeling for B.C. Here's some key takeaways. #bcpoli #COVIDBC #COVID19BC #COVID19 #bced #cityofpg @PGMatters

Here's B.C.'s vaccination update. A total of 343,381 doses have been administered. One dose = 256,443. Second dose is 86,938. Just 6 per cent of residents have been vaccinated. #bcpoli #COVIDBC #COVID19BC #COVID19 #bced #cityofpg @PGMatters

You can see B.C.'s seven-day moving average from January 2020 to March 8, 2021. Up, down and up again. #bcpoli #COVIDBC #COVID19BC #COVID19 #bced #cityofpg @PGMatters

Here's daily case rates, testing rate and percent positivity by Health Authority from March 1, 2020, to March 7, 2021. Northern Health has had the highest positivity rate for months. #bcpoli #COVIDBC #COVID19BC #COVID19 #bced #cityofpg @PGMatters

Here's something that isn't talked about by Henry often, or ever. There have been 10 children that tested positive for Multi-Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS-C) since January 2020. All recovered. Median age is 8 years old #bcpoli #COVIDBC #COVID19BC #COVID19 #bced #cityofpg @PGMatters

Many people ask about this. How many deaths compared to other ailments such as cancer, strokes, diabetes, etc. In 2020, COVID-19 was the eighth leading cause of death in B.C. (percentage of total deaths) #bcpoli #COVIDBC #COVID19BC #COVID19 #bced #cityofpg @PGMatters

Based on available data, Malignant cancers were the leading cause of death in 2020 followed by heart disease, stroke, diabetes and illicit drug toxicity deaths (percentage of total deaths). #bcpoli #COVIDBC #COVID19BC #COVID19 #bced #cityofpg @PGMatters

Daily case across Canada from March 1, 2020, to March 7, 2021. Officials have an arrow where the province was able to maintain low rates while keeping businesses and schools open. That line is WAY higher now. #bcpoli #COVIDBC #COVID19BC #COVID19 #bced #cityofpg @PGMatters

Here's Dynamic Compartmental Modeling from recent trends. R is close to one or above 1 in most regions right now, which means there is a risk that the number of new cases will grow. #bcpoli #COVIDBC #COVID19BC #COVID19 #bced #cityofpg @PGMatters

Here are potential scenarios on how infectious contact rates could impact the curve. Sixty and 70 per cent show the curve will bend up, fast. Forty and 50 show decreases. #bcpoli #COVIDBC #COVID19BC #COVID19 #bced #cityofpg @PGMatters

The government says there are many lineages/variants of SARS-CoV-2 in B.C. according to this graph. #bcpoli #COVIDBC #COVID19BC #COVID19 #bced #cityofpg @PGMatters

For Northern B.C., Prince George has recorded 31 COVID-19 cases in the past 7 days, according to the latest BCCDC data from March 10. #bcpoli #COVIDBC #COVID19BC #COVID19 #bced #cityofpg @PGMatters

From Jan 2020 to Feb. 2021, Prince George has seen 1,373 cases recorded. Which is by far, the largest total in the north. The closest to the city is Peace River North with 617. #bcpoli #COVIDBC #COVID19BC #COVID19 #bced #cityofpg @PGMatters
