Removal of #COVID19AB public health measures and discontinuing testing sites

Like you, we wish the pandemic would end but despite statements by @shandro and @CMOH_Alberta we are still in the midst of it.

- new #COVID19AB cases doubling every week
- delta variant 1,000x transmissible than alpha variant
-660,000 under age 12 and 1.5M over 12 in AB are not vaccinated
- we are similar to Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana & Missouri where unvaccinated (average age in 40s) are filling ICUs
-children at risk of COVID-19 pneumonia & Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children
-Arkansas & Oklahoma overwhelmed pediatric ICUs
-AB 47 pediatric ICU beds currently at 100% capacity
-AB unvaccinated children & no public health measures = risk overwhelming pediatric system
@GoAHealth plans announced July 28:
-no scientific data to justify actions
-do not follow @GovCanHealth @CDCgov @WHO guidelines
-risk AB & Canada data viewed unreliable
Recommend:
-reverse plans
-continue measures until review of delta & @CDCgov mask mandate
-do not lift measures until public presentation of review & discussion with public
-provide indicators:
* Vaccines under 12
* 85% total pop vaccinated
* @GovCanHealth announce pandemic end

Pediatricians concerned about #COVID19AB for children:
- Potential increase MIS-C (multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children), causing inflammation of heart, lung, blood vessels, brain, and kidneys.

-Potential development of fatigue, muscle and joint pain, headaches, seizures, gastrointestinal problems, heart palpitations and other symptoms of Long COVID in children who are infected – even in children with mild COVID-19 infection.

/2
-Potential for children to experience illness, long-term disability or death of a parent or caregiver due to COVID-19 infection.
- Increasing hospitalizations and potential for severe illness in children as community transmission rises.

Please see updated section for facility based health services. We compared our analysis to AMA info. The change in total $ fee range is the same; however, within each fee code there are sub-category fees. The % change varies in the sub-categories. ImageImageImageImage
