...among the 76,000 students, staff and faculty that have declared their status. It's not clear how many HAVEN'T declared their status (and thus what the overall vaccination rate is). Waiting for answers from @UofT on this one.
As @tenleyconway points out, this email from @UofT leaves leaves open the possibility that as many as 36% (almost 42,000 people) have NOT reported their vaccination status to @UofT. We need answers!
One thing that has bugged me since the beginning of the pandemic: how did the CDC get sidelined so completely? How did Dr. Fauci, the head of an agency almost no one had ever heard of, become the public face of the COVID response, while CDC Dir. Redfield had almost 0 presence?
Is it as simple as NIAID being in the D.C. Metro area whereas the CDC is situated away from Washington, in Atlanta? (Thanks to Coca-Cola president Robert Woodruff, incidentally)
Hey. I’ve been working on #COVID19#OpenData for a while now, but the time has come to think bigger. Today I’m announcing the launch of a new project: What Happened? COVID-19 in Canada
Let’s build a unified platform for COVID-19 data in Canada. Together.
This project has three pillars: a definitive timeline, a comprehensive archive and pandemic storytelling.
1. There’s a ton of #COVID19#OpenData out there and we want to stitch it into one definitive dataset covering cases, vaccination, hospitalizations and every other relevant metric. To succeed, we will need to design a standardized way to assemble and present COVID-19 data.
Yes, it's posted on a .gov website. Anyone is allowed to submit comments on articles printed in the Federal Register, which are then posted to regulations.gov alongside the original document.
We simply cannot continue to expand critical care. Additional capacity will exist only on paper. "Hospital beds" are a metaphor. You cannot squeeze blood from a stone.
