Bottom line today:
1. More evidence hospital patient burden has in fact pleateaued 2. Since hospitalizations are a lagging indicator, even more convincing evidence transmission rate started dropping in January
Issue going forward is the decay rate in hospitalizations.
Hope is even a slow decline in patient burden will continue even if infections increase after restrictions are loosened.
Latter effect *could* be minimal, as Manitoba didn't close down all indoor spaces this wave.

Dr. Marcia Anderson with the First Nations pandemic response team says BIPOC are under-represented among people with three #COVID19 vaccine doses but over-represented so far for pediatric doses.
Anderson says risk of breakthrough infections is higher among BIPOC communities.
Anderson says unlike earlier in the pandemic, Black, Indigenous and people of colour did not get COVID in disproportionate numbers in the fall of 2021.
Thanks to high vaccine uptake, the infection burden shifted to people who identify as white.
