#COVID19AB Balanced Scorecard
Fri 9 Sep

Leading indicators continue to show accelerating spread of infection.

7-day average Test Positivity 11.73% against all-time record 11.75%.

Severe Outcomes: Hospital, ICU and Death all surging faster than ever. Obviously NOT Decoupled.
ICU Capacity taking a huge hit.

169 Albertans just with COVID-19, against total ICU capacity for all needs 173.

Look at the difference two days makes on the curve. See also comparison to AHS CEO Dr Yiu charts on 17 May 2021.
Great presentation by Sarah Mackey of @ab_vax who teaches that we can't just look at the unvaccinated as one big blob, and just write them off.

IIRC, she says we have to look at different reasons:
• Access
• Complacency
• Hesitancy

And count the removal of barriers, not 💉
@ab_vax Working from AB Health's published stats, I provide this Vaccine Effectiveness by share of population.
• Fully Vax, Partly Vax, No Vax
• Hospital & ICU Case Rates
• Risk Ratio (how much lower your risk as you get your shots)
• Odds Ratio (how much worse than fully vax).
Correction: 54 Albertans died of Covid-19 in the last week, not 49 as I had shown earlier.

Tied with Ontario.

Alberta's 12% of 🇨🇦 population has 33% of the Deaths.

Revised scorecard & graphs here.

New graph at @ucalgaryCHI that will make Dr @FionaMattatall @DrJenGunter livid with me 🙃 if I do not mention.

"This is the number of COVID cases over the number of women who have delivered in Alberta. Both values are adjusted per 100,000 people."

Ack. Typo on the Date of my Scorecard.

Today is Friday 10 September.

Based on #COVID19AB stats published by GoA for the day ending Thursday 9 September.
Where US President Biden is referring to Republican Governors, he could have included Premier Kenney of Alberta.

Where he says “Look at the polling numbers”, please do.

Premier Kenney’s grotesque mishandling of #COVID19AB could knock UCP out of power.

Just before Christmas, I was asked by a friend still traumatized by her harasser to help her report to the police, who recommended she get a Civil Restraining Order without Notice.

AB Justice website providing advice for this is flawed. Here's what to do until it is fixed.

🧵
The @CalgaryPolice recommend this website, which AFAIK is OK for the majority of situations they attend: Restraining Order in Family Law situations.

But for the "Civil Restraining Order", aka Restraining Order from Civil Court, it is deeply flawed.

alberta.ca/get-a-restrain…"How to file a Restraining Order (Without Notice)  Step 1. Fill out the forms Fill out the correct form based on your situation:  • if your situation involves family members, a relationship where you lived together or a Family Law situation, fill out the Application for a Restraining Order Without Notice in a Family Law Situation  • if you are in a situation that does not involve family law, such as neighbours or coworkers, fill out the Restraining Order Without Notice  You don’t have to use your own address and phone number if you think it will put you in danger.

For the Family Law situation, the link leads to this fillable PDF "Application for a Restraining Order in a Family Law Situation."

It includes space for Affidavit-like "Reasons for Requesting Restraining Order" which is Declared before a Commissioner for Oaths. Top of fillable PDF "Application for a Restraining Order in a Family Law Situation."

It appears the Plaintiffs have listed two of my tweets in their Statement of Claim as "Twitter Defamatory Words".

1(e) and (j).

I deny that my words were defamatory, false or malicious.

🧵
Seeing my tweets listed in that defamation lawsuit is a complete surprise.

To the best of my knowledge, I have never received any response from the Plaintiffs or their agents to any of my tweets or words.

No reply, no request or demand for correction, retraction or apology.
I have followed the MHCare Medical Twitter account for years. I have never blocked them. They should be able to see my tweets.

Without being harassing, in the past I have asked them via tweet for comment. AFAIK, I never received any response, nor have they ever blocked me. Screenshot of MHCare Medical twitter account, showing I follow them, am not blocking them, nor are they blocking me.

In Alberta, babies under 1 year old are getting clobbered by Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), and it is overloading our children's hospitals:
• Hospitalized at 36x the rate of average Albertan
• Hospital & ICU at 3x rate of COVID in babies under 1

Line Graph and Table of Total hospital admissions, ICU admissions, and deaths among laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases in Alberta by age group, 2024-2025
Typical LaGrange-style quote in reporting by @JenLeeCBC:

"In a statement emailed to CBC News, a spokesperson said the hospital is seeing an increase in respiratory admissions, which "aligns with seasonal trends.""

Likely untrue, despite the vagueness.

cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
Expecting mothers should speak with their family physician or obstretician (like @FionaMattatall) about getting vaccinated during their pregnancy to protect their newborns. (I'm not a doc)

RSV shots are $1000 each, but perhaps other immunizations.

Alberta is projected to have its worst influenza vaccine coverage since 2010-2011.

9 weeks into this year's flu shot campaign, we're at 19%. Last year, we were at 23%.

This whole season's coverage projects to 22%.
• last yr 25%
• 2011/12 was 23%

alberta.ca/stats/dashboar…Line graph of cumulative weekly immunizations showing at week 50 of this year's campaign (9 weeks in) 929,380 shots administered so far, which is only 90% of last year's 1,037,278 at the same time.
Line graph of cumulative weekly immunizations showing at week 50 of this year's campaign (9 weeks in) the coverage for all ages is 18.9%

Line graph of cumulative weekly immunizations showing at week 50 of last year's campaign (9 weeks in) the coverage for all ages was 22.7%.
Seniors 65+, at week 50, 9 weeks into the campaign:
• This year, only 49.2% coverage.
• Last year, 59.4% coverage.

LaGrange's arrogant, deceptive decision to cut off community medical clinics obviously figures largely in this drop.

cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…2024 vaccine coverage for certain ages at week 50, showing only 49.2% for age 65+
2023 vaccine coverage for certain ages at week 50, showing 59.4% for age 65+
Both last year and this year, peak weekly flu shots administered was in week 42:
• This yr, only 243,207
• Last yr, 330,264

Many of us are now off from school or work for the Xmas holidays. Good time to get vaccinated. It should help you for January return to school or work. Column graph of weekly flu shots administered, showing in week 42: • This yr, only 243,207

3-min video posted 31 Oct 2024 by Liricom & Plenary shows what they expect provincial taxpayers to build + operate for them between airport & "Grand Central Station".

For free.

@DruhFarrell @TheBreakdownAB @CWalcottYYC @jasmine_mian

Before I get into pros and cons, let me just help you figure out their bizarre colours:
🟧 for Calgary Airport Downtown Express track that is at grade or in the 80th Ave tunnel
🟦 Teal (close enough) for stations
🟨 for track that is elevated from Bow River near zoo to Crowchild
Why does it need to be elevated from south shore of Bow River near Zoo, to Downtown West End before Crowchild?

Because CPKC wouldn't let them stay parallel at grade though downtown. Needed to be elevated to not interfere with freight loading/unloading at grade.

When UCP claims their elevated track & station #GreenlineYYC design through Beltline into Downtown is better than tunnels, but🚩won't release a single rendering, others will.

😱

Visit @yycbeltline web page, where each image is labelled. You barely recognize the streets after.
@yycbeltline Beltline Neighbourhoods Association tries to recreate Dreeshen's claim that only one "non-driving lane" on 10 Av would be affected (after multi-year construction probably closes the whole street) by rendering only a single column for the track and two columns for station.
@yycbeltline They use structural designs from Sunalta, which is 15 m above ground, but have to render two columns straddling reduced 10 Ave to support Beltline station.

Sunalta station is supported by an enclosed building, with interior stairs, escalators & elevator.
