Between February 1-26, 143 Saskatchewan citizens have died from #COVID19, despite Omicron being "less severe".

That's an INSANELY high number.

Saskatchewan's most deadly month thus far was October 2021, when 156 people died during our horrific Delta wave. /1

As highlighted by @DrKyle, Saskatchewan's death rate from #COVID19 is more than DOUBLE that of the 2nd highest province, Manitoba.

No province is even remotely close in terms of deaths per capita at this point with Omicron. So embarrassingly bad. /2

With 2 days left, February 2022 might not technically be Saskatchewan's deadliest month during this pandemic, but remember... there's only 28 days in February vs 31 days in October.

If you pro-rate 5.5 deaths per day (February 2022's deaths per day) x 31 days? *170* deaths. /3

So, despite what @SKGov says, February 2022 IS the deadliest month of #COVID19 on record.

Yet, @SKGov chose to REMOVE all measures to protect the vulnerable, the elderly, the frail, and those who can't be vaccinated Feb 28.

Remember, everyone, we're "living with COVID". /4

We won't hear anything from @SKGov about these deaths, or ALL the people who STILL remain in hospital & ICU as of March 2. 353 in hospital, 30 in ICU!

To ALL #SK citizens: COVID isn't over. Mask, isolate if symptomatic, get vaxxed & boosted ASAP.

Stay safe, everyone.
