#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.

alberta.ca/release.cfm?xI…
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.

🧡 MHCare Medical ISO 13485:2016 Certification

I had always found it odd that the firm that supplied the notorious Vanch masks 😱 to GoA would claim certification under:

ISO 13485:2016
Medical Devices - Quality Management Systems

mhcaremedical.com/who-we-serveScreenshot of "Who we serve" page showing a HCW in a blue flat mask and MHCare Medical's claim "We deliver quality products, competitive pricing..."

@kim_siever @BarryHunt008 @alanna_smithh @ByMatthewBlack @PfParks @JMeddings @DanielleLarivee @gilmcgowan @reportrix @DuaneBratt But until last week, when they succeeded at muzzling my friend Nate Pike @TheBreakdownAB (I can't even tag them on this!) as part of their $6m suspected SLAPP, I hadn't looked into it the way I sometimes do.

Turns out they are!

@kim_siever @BarryHunt008 @alanna_smithh @ByMatthewBlack @PfParks @JMeddings @DanielleLarivee @gilmcgowan @reportrix @DuaneBratt @TheBreakdownAB It appears Orion Registrar Inc certified or re-certified MHCare Medical on 25 Nov 2024 for "Distribution of Medical Devices Class I, II, III, IV".

Yes, all 4 Classes of Medical Device.

Here's some background on ISO 13485:

With the sad news last night that all of @TheBreakdownAB YouTube content would be taken down Tuesday night, I had a look at my favourite guest appearances on the show.

See 'em before they're gone if you're interested.

🧡
On 1 Jan 2023, I covered GoA's questionable procurement of masks & respirators since 2020.

I didn't just comment on MHCare Medical's products, but also Orpyx, Shanghai Dasheng, @CAPPEM2 and 3M, and many of my comments are quite positive.

On 22 March 2023, I applied the 5Ps of Marketing to analyze AB Health/ AHS/ MHCare/ Atabay scandal over children's acetaminophen & ibuprofen meds.

Dec 2022 v Mar 2023

I believe more has been revealed on that scandal since, and maybe even recent news.πŸ€”

Happy Sunday. For those looking for the full 17-page Statement of Claim from fired AHS CEO Athana Mentzelopoulos' lawsuit against AHS & AB Health, this CityNews story allows free download without scribd account.

@TheBreakdownAB @PfParks @JMeddings

There are parts of the S/C on topics about which my tweets get widespread attention –

especially the overpriced, late and dangerously substandard kids meds that GoA wants you to think came directly from Atabay –

but in reality came through markup middleman MHCare Medical.
On my own initiative, I'll be cautious, at least until Statement of Defence is filed, because I don't want to unintentionally rebut in advance a stupid defence that GoA/AB Health/AHS might rely on.

No idea whether GoA will use $$$ external counsel, as they did in CM v Alberta.

Personal safety was/is a concern for me too, since 2020, because I was proving the Vanch masks did not even meet ASTM Level 1 standard that AHS claimed they did, for over $200m of PPE from Mraiche Holding Corporation.

Bravo @kim_siever @TheBreakdownAB

@kim_siever @TheBreakdownAB Confirmed something awful in @TheBreakdownAB peek today at AHS FOIP response.

4 Jan 2022: the dangerous BYD Kids masks were bought from MHCare Medical.

As Education Min, LaGrange ordered them given TO OUR KIDS.

So of course I watch my personal safety.

threadreaderapp.com/thread/1485004…Screenshot shared by Nate today, of a list of AHS purchases from MHCare Medical, where I have highlighted the 4 Jan 2022 purchase of 1000 cases x 2000 masks each.
@kim_siever @TheBreakdownAB @alanna_smithh @JenLeeCBC @ByMatthewBlack @gthomsonink @Lorian_H @SamirKayande @reportrix @TheTyee @nenshi @sameo416 I started that thread on 22 Jan 2022, after responding to Dr @jvipondmd asking about them on 13 Jan 2022.

Raised the alarm to everyone I could, showing my evidence, in real time.

Guess how frustrating it is to me, a professional engineer + parent, to confirm the $$ behind this. Screenshot of my 22 Jan 2022 tweet which started a thread of 93 tweets of evidence.

Yesterday, Ministers Fir & Turton trotted out GoA's canned talking points on AB Health/AHS procurement scandal to media and public for the first time, and I wanted to point out certain problems with it.

Bravo @alanna_smithh @CheSkulskiCTV & unnamed male.

youtube.com/live/8kqvTwktG…
Turton laughably praised Smith for her "decisive leadership" in asking the Auditor General for "an expedited review".

In her 6 Feb tweet, Smith said "I will be writing Auditor General Doug Wylie to ask for an expedited review".

So, where's that letter?

UCP gov's strategy obvious from their spin: refuse all comment until both the AG's "expedited review" and this internal coverup, I mean investigation, are done.

Then this antidemocratic insistence on "1 question, 1 followup". This isn't the CMOH giving a daily COVID update.

As someone who successfully went to Auditor General + Alberta Securities Commission about Alberta Research Council wrongdoing ~20 years ago, I wanted to share some tips based on what I read in Premier Smith's letter on 8 Feb 2025.

🧡

Body of tweet whose link I pasted in my tweet.
"To that end, I will be writing Auditor General Doug Wylie to ask for an expedited review and his findings on this issue."

Auditor General said 2 days prior he had already commenced the "examination", not review.

Deep dives & thread pulls, not "review".

oag.ab.ca/statement-from…
The OAG will not expedite a "review" for anyone. They have disciplined processes to follow, and I hope insiders will give them lots of threads to pull.

We in the public will need to be patient. Good audits & implementation take time. Maybe even years.
