Right now @edyong209 is speaking to the UBC School of Public Policy & Global Affairs about his approach to covering the COVID-19 pandemic.

I'm watching via the livestream & will do my best to livetweet.

This is interesting stuff to me, and hopefully to some of you too...
His first point is that the pandemic is an "omni-crisis" and the regular, piecemeal approach to journalism doesn't work as well.

A smattering of stories, each about a small aspect of the crisis, can leave audiences more confused.

Stories explaining the bigger picture are key.
This also applies to the experts that journalists talk to. One or two experts is not enough.

The nature of modern expertise is that it tends to be very deep but also very narrow.

Talking to a wide range of experts helps journalists find & explain the bigger picture.

A big difference with Alberta's 4th wave compared to its 3rd wave is the number of cases among people aged 80+, shown by the red line here

To understand what's going on, we need to break down this data a little more... 🧵
The recent surge in case rates among Albertans aged 80+ has not been evenly distributed, geographically.

The North, South and Central health zones have seen disproportionately high cases among this age range, while rates in the Calgary & Edmonton zones have been relatively low.
As a result, the South, North & Central zones (which tend to be more rural) have also seen higher death rates during the 4th wave, compared to the Calgary & Edmonton zones (which are more urban.)
