Vaccination impact numbers for Manitoba, now Sep 19-Dec 4.

Data is now public, but thanks to @ScottBilleck for sharing earlier to make this possible!

Relative rates for unvaccinated ppl, adj for population:
- new cases 5.0x
- hospitalizations 6.7x

Variation over time shows the jump in hospitalizations among unvaccinated people in week ending Dec 4.

I've adjusted the dotted-rate lines to match the long-term averages on the first tweet. Hoping to communicate how things are changing relative to the average.

Numbers on the age group case chart have enough data to be more stable now.

Overall shape is holding, and impact in ages 30-59 remains lowest. All ages still hold a relative rate >4x (>75% eff.) in this period.

New chart this week - death rates adjusted for size of group over time. This isn't age adjusted, so it will tend to *understate* vaccine effectiveness.

The numbers here are smaller than cases, so they're less stable week-to-week, but the effect of vaccines is clear and holding.

I've held off on doing charts on deaths in the past. I don't want to be disrespectful of anyone's loss, and I don't want to seem callous about this.

No one's death is reducible to a statistic. I'm sorry if you've lost someone in this, no matter what choices they made.
