#COVID19AB Balanced Scorecard
Thu 23 Sep

Sorry for late start on this - was watching today's @PopAlberta broadcast for a third time. So many good shows there πŸ‘€

youtube.com/channel/UCXWbl… ImageImageImage
Last night between 4.16pm and 10.12pm, I assembled a monster Balanced Scorecard thread (rope?) of 31 tweets.

I wanted to give extra attention:
β€’ We're becoming 2 different Albertas with COVID-19
β€’ Non-ICU Wards have become ICU to prevent triage

πŸ‘€

Finished reading ALL of it?

I'm going to build on it a bit. Remember my analogy that covid-19 under bad government is like riding a canoe on a rollercoaster?

We have two canoes now.
β€’ Calgary and Edmonton, leading/front going down
β€’ Rest of Alberta, leading/front going up.
Example: Test Positivity

AB average going down, now 10.33%
β€’ dominated by Calgary Zone down to 6.95% and Edmonton Zone 8.35%
β€’ while rest of Alberta goes up
β€’ Central 16.3%, North 19.37%, 14.24% and rising

Despite the divergence:
β€’ which is both an outcome of divide-and-conquer strategy by our Premier
β€’ and also enables more
β€’ we still all share the same hospitals
β€’ and deaths outside Calgary & Edmonton are rising Image
We have an entire province glued to social media and news for the point ICU overload triggers triage.

IMHO (see last night's thread) we would have reached it on weekend if not for non-ICU Wards like Internal Medicine saying to ICU:give us as many of your patients as possible. Image
And @AHS_media media Dr Verna Yiu put it bluntly: we would have triggered triage already if not for people dying in roughly same quantity as new admissions.

Life-and-death "equilibrium". For now.

People are still arriving in exponential numbers.

Even though today was part of the "Chief Medical Officer Updates" many people have tuned her out.
β€’ sticking to her model and stories about the UK despite the actual evidence from Alberta
β€’ keeping June model secret until too late
β€’ "Endemic"

They are there for Dr Yiu. Image
We're supposed to be getting province-wide wastewater testing results published on Alberta Health stats page soon, right?

@ucalgaryCHI is still publishing. While R for Calgary is slowing...

Trend since 1 July: Number of infected people in Calgary shedding virus still rising. ImageImage
So between the two threads, we're just about through the whole scorecard.

You're ready for the pop quiz now, right?

Deaths & Vax left.

I'll do Vax another day. Want to give it a deeper dive.
Deaths. What we are all trying to avoid.*

New graph, just on this. I don't want to extrapolate the trend out further, and I have already increased the vertical axis more than I want.

Many wonderful people are knocking themselves out to stop this.*

* Notable exceptions. ImageImage
Love and care for each other.

These are tough days now, and ahead.

We're making history - in realtime - that people in all sorts of disciplines will study later.

Influence that for the better, however you can.

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:  β€’ 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  β€’ 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. You can use a friend’...
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:
β€’ Hospitalized at 36x the rate of average Albertan
β€’ 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%.
β€’ last yr 25%
β€’ 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) 1,037,278 shots administered so far
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:
β€’ This year, only 49.2% coverage.
β€’ 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:
β€’ This yr, only 243,207
β€’ 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: β€’ 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.
