Alberta continues to burn deeper into exponential growth of COVID-19, worse than any other province.

Led by Calgary, by far worst in Canada, with cases doubling every 4.2 Generation cycles, at 3.5 days/cycle = doubling every ~14 days.

Joined by Edmonton. Central & North close.
Both the daily R from @imgrund and semi-weekly Wastewater Sampling at @ucalgaryCHI are leading indicators of #COVID19AB prevalence, ~5 days ahead of PCR.

Calgary has not recovered from 6th Wave, which GoA launched w rushed drop of safety measures through Feb (latest data 2 Jun).
@imgrund @ucalgaryCHI More recent wastewater sampling shows:
• Edmonton had more pronounced surge in May, and is rising again
• Medicine Hat & High River rising again
• Banff never recovered from May surge

We're sitting ducks for Omicron's ongoing mutation without (proven, simple) safety measures.
@imgrund @ucalgaryCHI @GosiaGasperoPhD @RajBhardwajMD @LeylaDAsadi @jvipondmd @demandsbetter @noelgibney @stuckncalgary @kasza_leslie @Adam_Toy @FionaMattatall As I said ⬆️, R & Wastewater Sampling predict PCR results by ~5 days.

covid-tracker.chi-csm.ca

We can already see test positivity stopped falling in Calgary AHS Zone, per GoA stats 30 June. Watch tomorrow's release for 5 June stats.

@imgrund @ucalgaryCHI @GosiaGasperoPhD @RajBhardwajMD @LeylaDAsadi @jvipondmd @demandsbetter @noelgibney @stuckncalgary @kasza_leslie @Adam_Toy @FionaMattatall What happens when you ignore:
• leading indicators like R & 💩
• current measures like PCR %

or lie that hospital admissions you promised to "closely monitor" are not rising?

1. Hospitals so full capacity is negative
2. Ambulances get tied up waiting
3. Lots of Albertans die
@imgrund @ucalgaryCHI @GosiaGasperoPhD @RajBhardwajMD @LeylaDAsadi @jvipondmd @demandsbetter @noelgibney @stuckncalgary @kasza_leslie @Adam_Toy @FionaMattatall You must be asking how Hospital Capacity becomes negative - even a province-wide average.

According to @HQCA, it is when patients are shoehorned into hallways & lounges. AFAIK, doesn't count "blocked beds" where people wait in ER or ambulance for a bed.

But I see nothing more recent than quarter ended 30 Sep 2021, reported 16 Nov. At least @HQCA gives us end Dec 2021.

By now we should have 31 Mar 2022.

Red Deer Regional was at 82% 👍 in December 2021.

By April 2022, 14 ambulances backed up and surgeries being moved to other cities.

🧵Earlier this morning, I received attached chat messages from @KatyET #ABResistance, on BlueSky where I had not thought to block her, claiming they are acting "with the absolute knowledge and complete support of Nate".

I don't believe this is true - not to the extent stated. Start of chat at 5.43 am
first two messages received by 5.49am

@Katyet @alanna_smithh @ByMatthewBlack @DuaneBratt @reportrix @gthomsonink @TimmCTV As someone unaware of the chat replied to my thread yesterday, in Nate's goodbye video on Sun 16 Feb, he said he would follow the rules of society, and not be like the people he criticizes (eg. TBA)

He would not circumvent the court order to criticize Mraiche through others. Unrelated reply to me this morning.
@Katyet @alanna_smithh @ByMatthewBlack @DuaneBratt @reportrix @gthomsonink @TimmCTV Maybe Nate had emotional response to video made with audio clip from his show, and maybe the best rock song warmup ever.

That is NOT an endorsement of #MraicheMob, "ratfucker", tagging police, "Corruption Partnered with Mraiche", and the "rally" now in revisionism.

Very ugly things happening around MHCare Medical v Nate Pike lawsuit, especially approaching hearing Friday afternoon.

Many in #abpoli know ⤵️

I feel terrible for my friend Nate:
• Big "allies" like DKGray/ABResistance treating Mraiche like KJJ treated Mohamad Fakih, IMO 4 screenshots of twitter thread better left undescribed
4 screenshots of twitter thread better left undescribed
4 screenshots of twitter thread better left undescribed

Like Mr Mraiche and Mr Fakih, I am Canadian and Muslim and born overseas. (Kenya, not Lebanon).

I can be those immutable things + CFL fanatic + engineer + father + advocate for ethical government and safe PPE/meds + free press + many other things simultaneously without conflict.
I don't know much about Mr Fakih or Paramount Fine Foods. Unfortunately, mainly through the terrible defamation and harassment he _truly_ suffered.

From KJJ and the mob he incited. Unlike Nate, and the self-appointed mob getting him in serious trouble.

Here's the Procedure Card I obtained this afternoon from Calgary Courts Centre for MHCare Medical v Nate Pike.

I understand from court clerks there is no publication ban and no sealed document.

Not tagging anyone on this because it might blow up your notifications. Bracing myse Image
I understand people want to demonstrate Friday to support Nate.

IMO, TERRIBLE idea. People may put up defamatory signs, and convoy or Coutts people who hate Nate could make things uglier. That will work AGAINST Nate.

The Justice will decide from what's IN Court, not OUTSIDE.
Procedure Card confirms report (CTV Calgary?) that Nate would file for appeal.

Not a lawyer, but IMO, STUPID WASTEFUL IDEA!
• Already have review Fri 28 Feb
• What Error in Law did Court make?!
• Appeal Court gives deference to trial court on Facts
• $200K GoFundMe 🔥🔥🔥 Screenshot of Nate Pike's GoFundMe now at $197K on $80K goal.

🧵 MHCare Medical ISO 13485:2016 Certification

I had always found it odd that the firm that supplied the notorious Vanch masks 😱 to GoA would claim certification under:

ISO 13485:2016
Medical Devices - Quality Management Systems

mhcaremedical.com/who-we-serveScreenshot of "Who we serve" page showing a HCW in a blue flat mask and MHCare Medical's claim "We deliver quality products, competitive pricing..."

@kim_siever @BarryHunt008 @alanna_smithh @ByMatthewBlack @PfParks @JMeddings @DanielleLarivee @gilmcgowan @reportrix @DuaneBratt But until last week, when they succeeded at muzzling my friend Nate Pike @TheBreakdownAB (I can't even tag them on this!) as part of their $6m suspected SLAPP, I hadn't looked into it the way I sometimes do.

Turns out they are!
🤯

iafcertsearch.org/certification/…
@kim_siever @BarryHunt008 @alanna_smithh @ByMatthewBlack @PfParks @JMeddings @DanielleLarivee @gilmcgowan @reportrix @DuaneBratt @TheBreakdownAB It appears Orion Registrar Inc certified or re-certified MHCare Medical on 25 Nov 2024 for "Distribution of Medical Devices Class I, II, III, IV".

Yes, all 4 Classes of Medical Device.

Here's some background on ISO 13485:

With the sad news last night that all of @TheBreakdownAB YouTube content would be taken down Tuesday night, I had a look at my favourite guest appearances on the show.

See 'em before they're gone if you're interested.

🧵
On 1 Jan 2023, I covered GoA's questionable procurement of masks & respirators since 2020.

I didn't just comment on MHCare Medical's products, but also Orpyx, Shanghai Dasheng, @CAPPEM2 and 3M, and many of my comments are quite positive.

On 22 March 2023, I applied the 5Ps of Marketing to analyze AB Health/ AHS/ MHCare/ Atabay scandal over children's acetaminophen & ibuprofen meds.

Dec 2022 v Mar 2023

I believe more has been revealed on that scandal since, and maybe even recent news.🤔

Happy Sunday. For those looking for the full 17-page Statement of Claim from fired AHS CEO Athana Mentzelopoulos' lawsuit against AHS & AB Health, this CityNews story allows free download without scribd account.

@TheBreakdownAB @PfParks @JMeddings

edmonton.citynews.ca/2025/02/13/nen…
There are parts of the S/C on topics about which my tweets get widespread attention –

especially the overpriced, late and dangerously substandard kids meds that GoA wants you to think came directly from Atabay –

but in reality came through markup middleman MHCare Medical.
On my own initiative, I'll be cautious, at least until Statement of Defence is filed, because I don't want to unintentionally rebut in advance a stupid defence that GoA/AB Health/AHS might rely on.

No idea whether GoA will use $$$ external counsel, as they did in CM v Alberta.
