Here's your AB COVID # analysis for Tues Feb 1st. 1/

Cases/d yest 2140 but remember this is an artificial # w/ no relation to reality.(I get suspicious when a politician asserts that we have substantially dropping active cases, when we know no such thing. Positivity 40.12% compared with last Monday's 43.27%. Very slowly dropping.2/

Hospitalization: Inpt: Wed +52 to 1450(revised from1448 yest 1423 Fri adn 1363 Thurs). Thurs +8 to 1458 (revised from 1456 yest and 1391 Fri). Fri +5 to 1463 (revised from 1459 yest). Sat -30 to 1433 (revised from 1418 yest) .Sun +19 to 1452 (revised from 1417 yest) 3/

Yest +24 to 1476 (new pandemic record) (subject to revision). 7d rise to Fri 20.4 % (Yest 24.9%) Growth continues to slow. 4/

ICU Thurs -2 to 108 (revised from 107 yest and 105 Fri). Fri -3 to 105 (revised from 104 yest), Sat -4 to 101 (no revision), Sun nil change to 101 (revised from 99 yest) Yest +8 to 101 (subj to revision) 5/

Paeds admits: 9. No ICU admits for kids (yayayayayay!). Deaths: another 13, including one under the age of 40. 6/

Haven't posted this graph for a while, but even though the absolute numbers are not accurate, worth noting the relative change as rural areas start to surpass the urban zones. 7/

Hoping you'll join @PopAlberta tomorrow for our briefing: What we didn't learn from SARS-CoV1 we'd better learn from SARS-CoV2. 4pm! Be there. It'll be mindblowing. fin/
