1/6 Contrary to Dr Shahab's vague comments about plateau last wk. but well acknowledged by our medical profession, recent data indicate Sask is entering it's 6th COVID wave fueled by BA.2 variant:
1. SK lags behind E provs (and the US) which are well into this 6th wave. #skpoli

3. Hospitalizations are ⬆️,ICUs are over capacity.

For many, especially the vaccinated, the virus is mild.
For others who cannot/have not been protected, and for the vulnerable, it can be deadly.
Of 44 deaths in SK the past 2 weeks, seven were under the age of 60 with two people 39 years or younger. So very tragic!

While initially considered a respiratory illness, COVID's long term impacts are on the cardio vascular system. Thus, even mild cases can cause lasting health issues.

And while the virus is pretty much unavoidable these days, w/ minimal data, no provincial protections, a very infectious variant on the scene, break-through infections & re infections, not to mention all the gatherings that will be coming up, I am hopeful...
6/6 that most will recognize we are still very much in a pandemic, facing a huge approaching wave...and will do what they need to, in order to keep their loved ones safe. #Easter2022 #6thWave #skpoli @SKGov @PremierScottMoe
