Hot damn! 62 and up in Saskatchewan starting tomorrow! Book online or phone.

Go go go!
I heard some numbers that were higher than this today, but I wonder if what I heard included everyone ‘booked’ for an appointment. Like I heard 70% in the 70+ crowd where as this says 30%. But that doesn’t include all the people booked for an appointment but not yet received.
Anyways, it doesn’t matter so much yet. Just get booked in when you can. So long as the vaccines are getting in arms as fast as they’re coming in, we’re doing fine.

I’m having fun picking at the NHL here but honestly:

The officiating is a mess and it’s not because of missed calls. Missed calls will happen. That’s life. Refs are human.

It’s because of the culture of officiating & direction from the league. This is the NHL’s fault.
The NHL has allowed a system where penalties are unofficially roughly even between teams ‘because the ref can’t decide the outcome of the game’. But, of course, by letting one team get away with more so the penalties stay equal, the refs ARE deciding the outcome.
The NHL has allowed a system where you can’t call ‘every’ hook, slash, hold against a skilled player because then you’d have to call like 10 a game.

Which just means less skilled players get to hold back the most elite players and the whole game suffers.

“They caught Peel on a hot mic.”

Campbell: Oh shit, what did he say?

“He was admitting to an even-up call.”

Campbell: ...

“People think that’s wrong.”

Campbell: ...

“Because a legitimate sport calls the rule book, not just penalizing teams equally”

Campbell: You lost me.
Campbell (investigating): What happened?

Peel: I called a penalty on Detroit

Campbell: Ok

Peel: So I had to call the next one on Nashville

Campbell: As per our policy

Peel: Then the mic caught it

Campbell (to media): We’ve settled the matter internally

(Destroys all mics)

Now some graphs!

I tried to look at how well provinces are vaccinating. Using how much vaccine the provinces have on hand & their rate of vaccination over the last 7 days, we can estimate how many "days" of vaccine they have left in stock.
Data from @covid_canada.
This is Canada as a whole. You can see the days where vaccines are distributed in large amounts and the provinces work through them. Provinces were getting down to about a week of vaccine supply left before the next shipment, though they got down to the 5 day mark yesterday.
Ontario has over 1/3 of Canada's population, so they run pretty close to Canada as a whole. For the last couple weeks, though, they've been keeping less vaccine on hand than Canadian average. As of yesterday, they had about 4.4 days of vaccine left. (Big shipment coming in today)

Looking at something with vaccine data. If we’re trying to see how quickly provinces are administering vaccines, using % of vaccines administered doesn’t paint a clear picture.

Think it would be better to say “at the current pace, how quickly will provinces run out of vaccine?”
Like, if you look at the average number of vaccines administered over the last 7 days, and then look at how many vaccines have been distributed to provinces, you can see how many days until the provinces run out of vaccines if they keep going at the current pace.
Based on data as of last night from @covid_canada, there have been 4,097,934 vaccines given out of 4,773,340 distributed. Provinces are giving an average of 135,233 vaccines a day.

Which means at this pace, they’ll run out in 5 days.

(This week’s shipment is still coming.)

Saskatchewan continues to be doing a great job vaccinating, leading the country having given out over 95% of the vaccines its been delivered. It’s given out more doses per capita than every other province.

At the same time, Regina is a hot mess of COVID. And that will spread.
There’s no way to vaccinate fast enough to fix the COVID spread. It’s impossible.

The vaccines are coming in huge numbers from April on, but there needs to be other measures to keep this in check. Even just for a little while. To buy some time.
Look, every Oiler fan has seen what happens when you don’t play a full 60 minutes.

And Sask fans know damn well you can lose if you put too many people out there on the last play of the game.

We’re close. We can’t screw it up now.

Regina needs a circuit breaker.

Good news! AZ finished up another trial in the US, showing 79% efficacy! So even better than previous trials. Still 100% effective against serious illness.

32000 people in the study, no increased risk of blood clots seen.
As is the case with all these vaccine data releases, this one is via press release, with actual scientific paper to follow. Given the urgency of the situation, that’s to be expected.

Also positive, there’s lots of variants floating around in the US & AZ still showed strong.
One more positive: the new AstraZeneca trial showed equal effectiveness in people over 65.
