697 new cases of #COVID19 announced in B.C. today, as the province's rolling average and active case count continues to go down at a steady pace.
Hospitalizations back up to 486, as it's still on that plateau.
One new death.
Today's chart.
Another 32,832 people received a vaccine shot in B.C. yesterday, as we wait for the Pfizer doubling of supply to show up in the daily figures.
It's a fairly static story at the moment.
Just one death today is encouraging — but last Tuesday there were zero deaths, so the rolling average actually goes up.
It's fortunate we haven't seen a spike due to vaccinations, it's frustrating that preventing a 3rd wave means we're still seeing 1-7 deaths each day.
After several weeks in B.C. where all the metrics were trending badly with the government insisting things were under control,
and then several weeks of the trendlines plateauing
and then several weeks going down,
things are pretty predictable right now
That's good!
We've gone through the testing thing many times, but we've now had three full weeks of numbers consistently going in one direction, and the positivity rate going down as well
There's a lot of anxiety at the moment of the AZ communication, and possible changes in rollout — but it's important to keep in mind it's a relatively small part of B.C.'s strategy

when you put in your census code and it's the long form
so far there is no section of the long form census asking how many parks you ranked in the last year BUT I HAVE FAITH
prior to completing a long form census i had no idea how important it was to continually affirm that i do not live on a farm or do any farming-related activities
Frustratingly, the BCCDC has had another "systems issue" today, which is code for "you're not getting much data".
So limited extra numbers today.
We had around 164 hospitalizations the last three days — down from the 60-70 peak, but still way too high.
88% of all #COVID19 hospitalizations in B.C. now are in the Lower Mainland.
In the rest of B.C., it's less than 10 a day, and going down.
For the first time since cases began declining in the 3rd wave, we saw a decent drop in active cases in Fraser Health.
We've talked about one (or even three days) worth of data not being enough to draw conclusions many times during this, but let's hope that dip continues.
An average of 725 cases of #COVID19 announced in B.C. over the last three days, a 13% drop from the previous Monday, as the province's 3rd wave trendline continues to drop.
Encouragingly, hospitalizations down to 474, lowest since April 20.
15 new deaths.
Today's chart.
An average of 30,203 people given a vaccine shot in B.C. over the last three days, slightly down from the previous two weekends.
As we've talked about, doubling of weekly Pfizer supply kicks in NOW, and we see whether the province can do one final ramp up of distribution.
i missed the point in the metaphor where we went from the marathon to the bridge of the uss enterprise, but star trek time travel episodes always had one or two logic gaps
