And here is the rate of full vaccination in Saskatchewan compared to Alberta and other Canadian regions.
The only region worse is Nunavut, which has major challenges with access due to its remote location.
Actives cases/100K are as high in Saskatchewan as in Alberta (look at the colour on this map from @covid_canada, not the numbers, which are total active cases in each province).
And a source of profound concern, Saskatchewan has seen by FAR the highest per capita rate of COVID-19 infections among First Nations peoples of any other region in Canada.
At the Calgary Stampede, two traditions are going strong
– Pancake Breakfasts and Big Barbecue Lunches.
But … how risky is it to go?
You have to start the day with pancakes, of course.
That means lining up, allotting about a half hour to move up, tantalising aromas of the cooking food entertaining you, till you get to have your own plate full.
After a successful venture obtaining delicious food, could be pancakes or a pile of barbecued ribs, burgers and sides, our second scenario looks at sitting down and enjoying it.

Please bear with me. It's been nearly a year since I've done this thread myself, since volunteers usually tweet it out on Forecast weekends from my account.
I'm doing a shorter version of what usually goes out, without ALT text (sorry, sorry!).

🔵Canadian COVID-19 data reporting
🔵How the Canadian COVID-19 Forecast has been changing in recent months in response to disappearing data
🔵How we're preparing to do a Forecast even if we lose all weekly reporting except waste water from @GovCanHealth
@GovCanHealth This will be a long post, and we have a three hour meeting starting in 20 min, so you might want to bookmark the thread, because I'll be doing that thing where I ramble on and off for hours.
And I'm deeply angry, which means I'll be on a tear for a while.
@GovCanHealth I won't translate this thread to French as I write, but if you want a French translation to share with people who don't read English, please let me know.
I (with help from translation volunteers) can do this, but it might take an extra day if the thread is long.
