Sept 21: AB COVID-19 data round up
Disclaimer: I base my graphs off of Alberta Health's raw data. The data they release weekly includes changes made to past weeks. I update my graphs to reflect those changes which is why my numbers may be different than others. #COVID19AB #Yeg
Tests: 6470 (-124 less than last week)
Avg Positivity: 19.52% (+2.56 from last week)
That is a big jump.
Last week's positivity was changed from 16.94% to 16.96%. Image
Deaths: 24 deaths reported this week.
+1 to week of June 7
+1 to week of Aug 30
+11 to last week
+12 deaths reported to have occurred this week.
I am getting 25, so one may have been removed from 2021 or before. Image
Hospitalized: 843 (-18 less than last week)
That being said, last weeks hospitalizations were retroactively modified from 819 up to 861. Image
ICU: 26 (unchanged) Image

The number of new cases for last week were retroactively changed from 1098 down to 1088. Image
Here is daily hospitalizations compared for the last three years (note this year only shows up until Sept. 19 because that's all we have so far.)

A thread on COVID-19 vs Influenza and how they are not the same. The proof is in the Alberta Health & Alberta Health Services data.
MAJOR disclaimer here. This data is not per calendar year, it is for each specific flu season in Alberta and the date range changes from year to year. It also means that many deaths and cases were left out. Doing it this way is necessary to create the most accurate comparisons.
These are the date ranges for the 7 years.
August 30, 2015 – June 11, 2016
2016-2017 is unspecified
August 28, 2017 – June 23, 2018
August 26, 2018 – March 23, 2019
Oct 06, 2019 to May 2, 2020
September 27, 2020 - April 3, 2021
Aug 29, 2021 - June 26, 2022

This is an update on Edmonton Public Schools COVID/illness/absence numbers. I have been collecting this data daily since Jan 2022. Thank you to @EPSBNews for making it available for as long as you have. #edmonton #yeg #covidab
This first graph tells the biggest story. In purple are absences related to COVID-19, in blue are absences due to other illness. As you can see, when students returned to school in January, there was a significant amount of COVID-19 going around. Absences due to other illnesses.. Image
were also quite high. Throughout the year absences due to other illness grew well above COVID-19. I am not an expert, but I believe this was caused by a lack of testing moving potential COVID-19 cases into the 'other illness' category because COVID cases often aren't confirmed.

Tonight I brainstormed how to organize the Alberta COVID-19 data in a way that we could see seasonal commonalities, and compare the month that we are in now to prior years to get an accurate idea of where we are at in the grand scheme of things and I think I did it. #covid19ab
This is daily hospitalizations for 3 years overlapped. You can see how each year is increasingly worse, & trends like a wave in May in all 3 years. You can also see an uncharacteristic increase this summer, and that the highest numbers were in the winter and spring of 2022.
Daily ICU numbers for 3 years overlapped. Here we can see that the Spring and Fall of 2021 were when most people were landing in the ICU. Interesting to see that we are currently below 2021 levels, but above 2020 levels, and that every year in July we have our lowest ICU numbers.
