In today's #COVID19AB weekly theatre, Health Minister Copping claimed (4-min mark):
• hospital occupancy "around 90%"
• "slight increase" from 1000 to 1050
• system "resilient", prepared for "further increase"
His own dept stats contradict him.
• hospital occupancy "around 90%"
• "slight increase" from 1000 to 1050

Latest Healthcare Capacity as of 6 April shows:
• non-ICU beds avail 1.9%
• average beds avail ~ 3% over last month, or 97% full
Minister conceded ICU at 100% capacity, so this claim of overall (ICU + non ICU) around 90% appears bogus.

Increase from 1000 to 1050 Albertans in hospital w COVID-19 is not "slight". It is 5% a week, at a time when available beds is under 3%.
On 6 April, Albertans in non-ICU w COVID:
• Healthcare Capacity graph shows 983
• Severe Outcomes graph shows 1007 on same day

Dr Bakshi has addressed this 90% occupancy façade before. From her leadership position within Edmonton hospitals, she sees blocked beds due to staff illness still miscounted in the denominator of "available" beds.
Me? I just see over 97% ≠ around 90%.
