Here's your AB COVID # analysis for Wed Jan 5th. 1/
Yest cases/d 4768, a 69% incr from last Tues's 2823. Case positivity 36.92% compared to yest 36.2% and last Tues 30.08%. Both cases/d and positivity acheive new records for the pandemic. 2/
Hospitalizations: Inpts: Fri -1 to 354 (revised from 353 yest), Sat +5 to 359 (revised to 357), Sun +20 to 379 (revised from 375 yest), Mon +16 to 391 (revised from 375 yest). Yest +7 to 398 (subj to revision). 7days up 85 or 27.1% (yest 31.6%). 3/
ICU +10 or 16.1% (in 1 day!) to 72. Paeds admits 13 including 3 new ICU (aka 27.2% of today's ICU admits are kids). Deaths 11. 4/
Demographics: noticed tonight that AB Health is not updating the age range incidence of COVID. Hopefully that will be updated shortly. REgionally, urban centres continue to predominate. 5/
Variants: Omicron, unsurprisingly, now dominating. Delta evaporating. 6/
Vaccinations: I don't normally report vaxx, but with the opening of schools, worth recognizing for the 5-11 age range, only 37.3% have their 1st vaxx. Only 4%!!!! have their 2nd vaxx (remembering that Omicron requires 3 vaxxs to prevent infection). 7/
Pretty sad about the lack of mitigations for transmission being offered to students as they return to schools on Monday. You should watch our excellent @PopAlberta briefing on this topic from this afternoon. fin/
Thanks to @ArynToombs @ByMatthewBlack and AB Health for the graphics.

Here's your AB Covid # analysis for Thurs Jan 6th. 1/
Yest cases/d 4957, a 19.9% incr from last week's 4133. New pandemic record (of course). Positivity 39.05% compared w/ last WEd's 30.46%. New pandemic record (of course). Of the two tests, positivity more accurate for severity of problem. 2/ ImageImage

Here's your AB COViD # analysis for Tues Jan 4th. I'm going to focus on the last 24 hours as the data dump of Dec 29-yesterday is immense. 1/
Yest cases 2976 a 107% rised from 1440. Record cases of 4578 on 30 Dec. Remember these cases immensely underestimate true case rate in the province, thanks to undertesting, changed test criteria, holiday period, RATs being done at home, etc. 2/
7d ave 3479 a 92.4% incr wk over wk from 1808. positivity 36.1% (record for pandemic) compared with 21.86% last Mon. Calgary at 39.8%, Edmonton a close second at 36.93%. 3/

Here's your AB COVID # analysis for Wed Dec 29th. I'll focus on the last 24 hours, and throw in a whole bunch of caveats, because some of this data is not as useful as it used to be. 1/
Cases/d yest 2800, a new pandemic record, and a % incr over last Tues's 1359. Except this data point is nowhere close as useful to a similar cases/d at any previous time of the pandemic, as evidenced by the record positivity of 29.88% (last Tues 11.89%). 2/
Hospitalizations: inpts.From a low of 261 on Sat, up +5 to 266 on Sun, +14 to 280 on Mon, and +12 to 292 yest. Not sure how useful this is, b/c it is unclear if all these new admits are pts admitted because of covid, or other reasons and just testing +ve incidentally. 3/

Next big debate in Alberta is whether schools should open again in 6 days. It's a tough one, balancing the role of schools in contributing to community spread, and longCOVID in kids, vs. equity with challenges in keeping kids at home for many parents 1/
Yesterday Premier Kenney continued to promote the myth that "in-class transmission has not been a major source of community transmission in Alberta and elsewhere" (timestamp 33:01) 2/
In reality the 4th #intentionallycruelwave was driven entirely by the unvaccinated in the 5-11 age group, as seen by AB Health's data. And we enter the January school period with most of these kids unvaccinated, still only 34% with one shot, inadequate protection for omicron. 3/

It's time for a little walk down the path called "what wave is this?". About naming the 3rd, 4th, and now 5th waves. And why it's important. 1/
it began with the 3rd wave. Our leaders oblivious despite having evidence from previous waves of how exponential growth worked, making it predictable, and how to stop it through mitigation policies, making it preventable. #predictableandpreventablewave. 2/
Then the fourth wave. The attempt to cause herd immunity by allowing it to run rampant through our population, especially the kids. And h/t to @sarahkendzior and @AndreaChalupa for pointing out that cruelty is the purpose. The #intentionallycruelwave 3/
