Of the 25,478 people who have died in Canada from COVID-19, I've linked 17,670 deaths to 1707 residential facilities. That is an increase of 3 deaths.

One of the things that I've been increasingly frustrated by is how little granular data we have about where people are being vaccinated. Where are the lowest pockets? What explains the numbers there? Why aren't we tailoring re-opening plans to vaccination rates locally?
This kind of information would be valuable for so many reasons. It would give public access to early-warnings for potential fourth wave hotspots. It would also force PHUs and politicians to account for why X location's vaccination rate is so low.
Without this, we're all kind of stuck with provincial or regional averages that give us some information but really, not enough. As low-vaccination-rate locations are going to become increasingly dangerous places to live and work ... we need to know where they are.
Anyway -- here is this data visualized.

It is necessary to look at the difference between commemoration and action.

Canada is swift to commemorate things -- the shooting at Ste Foy's mosque, the Humboldt Broncos of course. But it's always action where they fall short, even when the victims are white.
Commemoration signals what the government thinks Canadians care about: condemn shooting violence, condemn a senseless road accident. It creates societal norms of what we collectively support.
But then, on action, they fail hard. No movement to stop far-right violence. No changes to road safety or driver training. Commemoration becomes the sum total of action.

So when a mass grave of children is found, how does culpable Canada react?

Three weeks of school plus vaccinations would not be enough to push Ontario into a fourth wave on its own (it would take a week to even spread).

Ontarians are like collectively stuck in a tube of despair.
I am honestly so surprised by the difference in tone on this debate. Look at Quebec! May schools haven't closed once since winter! Vaccination has never been higher!
Let the kids see their friends, my god.

Of the 25,440 people who have died in Canada from COVID-19, I've linked 17,667 deaths to 1707 residential facilities. That is five more deaths and two new facilities since last night.

The big thing I've added tonight has been worker deaths. I've now linked 100 deaths to a worksite that was (extremely likely) connected to a COVID-19 outbreak.

Another bus driver has died. This time, he worked for a contractor at the Suncor Base...
This worker is the second private bus driver to die (at least) -- the first was a driver for Cargill in Guelph. So while these deaths are listed as meat packing/energy, they're actually transportation deaths -- which already make up most of the deaths I've tracked.

With Naheed Nenshi and Jagmeet Singh talking about how the anti-lockdown movement is (clearly) a white supremacy movement, let me take you through a year of knowing about this (thread) --
A year ago, Sandy and I recorded this episode - The Economy is Code for White Supremacy. COVID-19 was already having a clear and disproportionate impact on racialized people and it was clear then that re-opening would injure non-white people.

That's not the same thing as saying organized neo-Nazis were pushing for this -- no, it was far more respectable groups like CFIB and others who wanted us to rush back to normal.

But the impacts and hotspots were clear, making it a very obvious and easy thing to mobilize around

Of the 24,568 people who have died in Canada from COVID-19, I've linked 17,394 deaths to 1688 residential facilities. That's an increase of six deaths since last night with an additional facility added to this list.

With the CDC finally and officially declaring COVID as being airborne, as if that hasn't been clear for many, many months, Canadians should wonder if we will see changes to how these residential facilities operate -- i.e. will people sharing a room be banned?
Most of the attention on shared rooms has been on rooms with 4 or more people in them, but there are many, many more double rooms. Hospitals, where more than 1000 people have died from COVID-19 they caught in hospitals, are an especially important location...

I really appreciate all the love today everyone. I really do. You're all so great.

Here's a little thread about all the things I'm thinking about.

The world of Canadian media is incredibly insular. When you're pushed to the outside, your career can be ruined. All it takes ...
is a few people in high places who decide that you will never work in their organizations. And then, you're done. It's happened many times before and it will get worse as the industry continues to hobble along to its inevitable collapse.
Awards are the way that this industry decides who is great. Award winners then decide future award winners. The entry rules are usually very specific so it's even hard for everyone to be eligible to enter, unless you work for a major newspaper, then someone decides for you.
