I now crown Alberta as the new ‘Florida of Canada 🇨🇦’ … get a positive #COVID19 test? ➡️ No need to isolate says new horrible rules by heinously irresponsible @CMOH_Alberta. ⚠️Meanwhile, COVID now spreading faster (RT=1.48) in Alberta than during peak of 3rd wave. #COVID19AB

2) “Health and infectious disease experts say the rate at which COVID-19 cases are growing in Alberta is alarming, as it spreads faster than during the height of the pandemic's third wave.”

3) “The R-value, which represents the number of people infected by each infected person, was 1.48 (with a confidence interval of 1.38-1.59) in Alberta as of Sunday.
That number — which has doubled in recent weeks — means 100 people with the virus will spread it to 148 others.

4) “The current R-value provincewide is one of the highest we've seen throughout the pandemic…. the rate of viral spread is really as fast as we've seen at any other point during the pandemic," said Craig Jenne, an immunologist at University of Calgary.

5) let this sink in—there is no place in the world that doesn’t ask a #COVID19 positive person to isolate—other than Alberta 🇨🇦. @CMOH_Alberta is that dangerous & irresponsible. When the first child dies from this, we will ask for your resignation. History will remember too. 👀

6) Dear concerned citizens of amazing Alberta 🇨🇦— we see and hear your grief today. The world has not forgotten you - and history will hold @CMOH_Alberta and @jkenney responsible and remember their heinously irresponsible acts during the pandemic in infamy.

7) Actually - I was wrong, there is another place equally crazy as Alberta — Saskatchewan 🇨🇦 also doesn’t require isolation for positive COVID people. Maybe @SKGov is the Texas of Canada?

8) let’s check how Alberta and Saskatchewan are doing… both rising…. Along with BC, the former ‘Florida of Canada’ titleholder.
