(realized Part 1 of the PNE ranking doesn't link to Part 2 because i'm smart like that; here were the Top 10 things at the PNE before #9 was shut down and #5 and #1 were closed because of the pandemic)

867 new cases of #COVID19 in B.C., the highest number since April 23, as the 4th wave continues to do its thing.

Hospitalizations up to 159, ICU up to 84, and three new deaths.

Today's chart.
(i admit to being somewhat mystified by people going "oh wow the high cases!" when this is the same rate of growth we've been seeing for weeks and the effects of new restrictions won't be seen yet, but i am repeating myself here)
8,529 people in B.C. received a first vaccine dose yesterday, bringing it to 25,656 first doses since the vaccine card was announced.

That's about 3.5% of all people 12+ who hadn't gotten a vaccine, doing so in the last three days.

724 new cases of #COVID19 in B.C. today, as the rolling average inches up slightly with the same dynamic we've seen for the last week (cases plateauing in the Interior, going up everywhere else).

Two deaths & hospitalizations up to 149, highest since June 12.

Today's chart.
9,094 people in B.C. received their first shot yesterday, the highest number since July 13, as the vaccine card announcement is having the effect one would imagine.

That's more than 2% of all unvaccinated eligible adults in the last two days.
Me yesterday: okay, I've crunched the rates adjusted for population of new cases by vaccine status because the government didn't, but what would be really nice is getting the vaccine status of ICU cas-

government: LOOK WE DID THE RATES

698 cases of #COVID19 in B.C. today, as the rolling average continues to up (highest since May 10) due to surging cases outside the Interior.

Hospitalizations up one to 139, ICU cases down three to 75, and one new death.

Today's chart. Image
WELL WELL WELL

8,033 people in B.C. received their first shot yesterday, more than double the recent average and the highest number since July 13, in what is almost almost surely a reaction to the vaccine restrictions put in place Monday.

18,276 shots in total. ImageImage
Monday,, the B.C. government gave data on vaccine status of new cases from August 11-17 and hospitalizations from August 10-16.

Tuesday, they gave data on vaccine status of new cases from August 16-22 and hospitalizations from August 9-22.

Today, partial improvement. Image

Yesterday, the B.C. government gave data on vaccine status of new cases from August 11-17 and hospitalizations from August 10-16.

Today, they gave data on vaccine status of new cases from August 16-22 and hospitalizations from August 9-22.

the complete randomness is stunning
I crunched the B.C. government's newest numbers on the vaccine status of cases/hospitalizations, using an estimation for the populations based on the mid-point of date range provided.

But I'm not gonna share it, and here's why.
First, as discussed, the date ranges overlap with one another, they're different for hospitals and cases, there's nothing about ICU.

There are fluctuations, but as @richardzussman said earlier, it's hard with the limitations to do fair comparisons.

641 new cases of #COVID19 in B.C., as the rolling average is now over 600 for the first time since May 12.

Hospitalizations up to 138, highest since June 15 and doubled in two weeks, but no new deaths.

Today's chart.
where are the folks who said three weeks ago not to worry about cases constantly rising outside the Interior because they were still so low, i just wanna talk
5,048 people in B.C. received their first vaccine dose yesterday, the highest number in 19 days — we'll see if the number goes up further in the coming days with the announcement of the vaccine card.

In total, 83.3% of eligible people 12+ have gotten one dose.

Masks mandatory for everyone in the K-12 school system in B.C. this year, with the exception of students from K-3
Local school boards will be able to put in their own individual policies above and beyond these rules.

However, there will be no vaccine mandate for teachers or staff in schools.
Once again, the B.C. government has not provided a press release or any prior information to the media as a whole, so we're finding out about these details at the same time as you.

Will share the press release if/when it comes.
