Oct 19: AB COVID-19 update
Disclaimer: I base my graphs off of AB Health's raw data. Their weekly data includes changes made to past weeks. I update my graphs to reflect those changes and then do my update which is why my numbers may be different than others. #COVID19AB
Tests
This week: 7825 (+412 more than last week)
#covid19ab #covid #yeg #alberta #ab #yyc
Cases
This week: 1387 (+92 more than last week)
#covid19ab #covid #yeg #alberta #ab #yyc
Hospitalizations
This week: 1070 (+14 more than last week)
Last weeks hospitalization numbers were retroactively updated from 1014 to 1056.
We are now back at hospitalization numbers similar to May 2022.
#covid19ab #covid #yeg #alberta #ab #yyc
ICU
This week: 33 (+3 more than last week)
#covid19ab #covid #yeg #alberta #ab #yyc
Deaths
32 new deaths reported this week.
12 of them believed to have occurred this week, while 20 of them were added retroactively to past weeks.
#covid19ab #covid #yeg #alberta #ab #yyc
Positivity rate
This week: 18.45% (-0.71 lower than last week)
#covid19ab #covid #yeg #alberta #ab #yyc
Here's daily hospitalizations and ICUs. There is an upwards trend here. Previously you would see a wave, and then it would go down after protections were put into place. We are no longer seeing those returns to baseline, we are seeing leapfrogging.
#covid19ab #covid #yeg
This is hospitalizations layered year over year. We have 1070 to last year's 989 patients when comparing October 17th of both years. The highest of last year's fall wave for hospitalizations I believe was 1130. We are 60 patients away from that.
#covid19ab #covid #yeg #alberta
Our average hospitalizations is also surpassing last October so far. (October 2022 is only based off of data up to Oct 17th inclusive.)
#covid19ab #covid #yeg #alberta #ab #yyc
Daily deaths
Daily cases
Daily positivity
So short version...
Test numbers are up, case numbers are up, hospitalizations are up, ICU numbers are up, positivity down slightly.

Oct 5, 2022: EPSB absences update.
I have been giving more weight to absences due to any illness incase COVID-19 cases are not being reported as such. September's average ended up being 4.11%. That means September had the second highest average absence numbers this year.
This is the percent of students absent due to any illness each day compared monthly.

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

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.
