Hinshaw on AB removing contact tracing: Building it back up now wouldn't be best use of resources right now b/c need health-care pros elsewhere. The 4th wave's trajectory was "set" when AB removed public-health restrictions in July, rather than b/c change in contact tracing.
Oh hey, Frangou watched this for us!
But yeah, I prob won't be able to stop watching.

It is a "very reasonable thing to have kids wearing masks" in schools right now, Dr. Hinshaw said.
The govt has not mandated masks in schools. Leaving that health policy to school board trustees.
She noted, again, that she provides recommendations and others make the call.

Hinshaw says BC provided her with info re: vaxx passports. Two weeks after vaxx passport announced, vaxx rate in 30-39-year-olds climbed almost 3%. Up +4% in 18-29-y/o and 1% for those over 50.
Hinshaw on how AB's shift to the endemic phase didn't go as expected:
"Very shortly after we started that endemic path, we could see already from that comparison with actuals and the modelling data, within a couple of weeks, that we weren't seeing the decoupling we expected."
